of the roots, dissolving out phosphorus 

 and potash compounds and rendering 

 them available. In brief this combina- 

 tion of deep plowing with explosives 

 and trapping nitrogen is the quickest, 

 cheapest and most efficient way known 

 for converting the subsoil into soil. 

 Setting the Traps. 



Inoculate the seed or soil accordini; 

 ta the best practice; Plant the inocu- 

 lated legume either alone or together 

 with some other crop and plow under 

 aA much of the mature crop as pos- 

 sible. If necessary use 2000 to 4000 

 pounds of lime, not gypsum, per acre. 



Why not trap nitrogen out of the 

 free air, instead of hauling it out of a 

 costly sack? This way requires you 

 ta draw on your brain a little, instead 

 af on your pocketbook much.
