to blame for our mistakes. We can only 
blame ourselves when we do not heed 
her warnings, as these warnings are plainly 
written for all those who are wise enough to heed them. 
Nature is still the best soil builder. Soil prepared on the farm 
from green cover crops under Nature’s Sun and Rain, condi- 
tioned by the North and South winds, has proved to be the 
most fool proof through the years. 
Today, science has shown us the advantages of sterilization, 
soil analysis, etc. Surely no short cuts here should be attempted. 
All soil should be sterilized and checked for nutritional levels, 
as a matter of general practice. 
Soil for seed flats should be even more carefully prepared. 
The short time during which germination takes place is a critical 
period. An hour of dryness can cause a total crop failure. 
Ventilation and the prompt uncovering from shade must be 
done on time. 
Sowing on time is vitally important, as a few days difference 
may mean the difference between profit and loss on any crop. 
There are no short cuts! The best results always demand 
extra attention.
