When the crop is started to grow upon the land as early as the temperature* 

 of soil and air will permit, the farmer is conserving soil moisture by taking 

 advantage of that which would otherwise be lost by soil evaporation, and enab- 

 ling his crop to use this in growth. Such timely planting will also save plant 

 food from being lost in the drainage water.
