Prevailing prices of all kinds of artificial fertilizers should make the 

 increased use of nature's own fertilizers seem highly attractive. We 

 refer to leguminous and nitrogen-gathering soiling crops about which 

 more is said on page 41. Cowpeas, Soy Beans, Vetches, etc., are all 

 wonderful soil enrichers.
