plants have been to his own destruc- 
tion. Larger yield and finer appear- 
ance is the purpose. But in order to 
get this he must sacrifice quality. 
That does not matter, however, as 
what he wants is something to turn 
into money, the root of all kinds of 
evil. He has succeeded in producing 
more starch, and more protein, and 
sometimes more fat, but in doing so 
he has sacrificed the vital elements. 
He has also succeeded in producing 
more fruit for the hospitals, the 
asylums and the penal institutions. 
Man never picked up anything that 
God made that he did not spoil it. 
Natural Soil Covers 
For perennial trees and plants 
one does not need to till the soil, but 
may keep it covered year after year 
with humus. This keeps down the 
weeds, holds the moisture and pro- 
vides an ideal soil for good growth. 
This is nature’s way of growing 
nearly all her plants.
