Fig. 9, 
Remember that the more moisture you can retain in your soil in a dry district, 
the better the returns, and neglecting to retain the moisture when you get it, 
very often means the loss of your crop. You cannot over-cultivate if you 
cultivate properly. Stir the land, and stir it deeply. Do not turn the soil. 
If you do, you bring moist soil to the surface and consequently lose moisture ; 
therefore, use the narrow teeth that stir but do not turn the soil.
