Don’t Forcet.— That soil building is but the applica-

Don’r Forcet — That no one is worthy the name of 
farmer unless he is willing to do that which will give his 
soil a chance to do its best.

be fed the food elements it needs.

ganic matter in your soil. 
Don’t Forcet— That the farmer should be trained 
for his work as the lawyer is trained for his profession. 
Don’r Forcet — That he who expects to build up his 
soil by crop rotation alone is doomed to failure and bitter 
disappointment. 
Don’r Forcet — That it requires as much intelligence 
to direct the business of building up the soil as it does to 
direct the affairs of trade or commerce.

into your soil the more money value you will extract 
from it. 
Don’t Forcer— That farm values are based on soil 
fertility.

studies its whims, its moods and its needs.
