SELF-MAINTAINING FERTILITY 229 



the soil richer and more fertile, clothe the earth 

 more beautifully. Give her your help, your interest, 

 your attention, and she will direct all her energies 

 toward the growth of useful plants. She will 

 make your garden blossom and bear fruit as never 

 before, with just a little care, and cooperation on 

 your part. Putting aside every selfish thought 

 of all the wealth, health and happiness that you can 

 get from a little garden in the backyard, don't you 

 really think you owe it to Nature and her work 

 to do your part and grow something?
