WINTER GREENS AS A SUBSTITUTE 143 



The importance of dry farming methods in 

 connection with the growing of summer-sown crops 

 has been dealt with at considerable length because 

 of its great importance. Many farmers, whom the 

 writer has visited in the drier districts, have not made 

 a success of winter greens for no other reason than 

 that sufficient attention has not been paid to the 

 conservation of soil moisture. In fact, in dry summer 

 rainfall districts, one may regard the adoption of dry 

 farming methods for the growing of summer-sown 

 winter greens as the beginning and the end of success.
