It is encouraging to see that the
old idea of "resting land” is going-
out of fashion It takes just as
much fertility to groiv useless
plants (Aveeds) as useful one. 1 ;!
(crops). The good that Avas sup
posed to come from resting land
came really from increased hn
mus resulting from turning under
the crops of Aveeds and grass; and
this is not the best way to get hu
mus. The best Avay is by growing
legumes which not only make
more growth and furnish moreliu
mus than Aveeds do, but also gath
er nitrogen from the air, and also
save you from being pestered with
all the crop of xveed and grass seed
one must plow under on “rested
lend ” Just keep this fact in
mind — that it is just as hard on
land to groAv useless plants as use
ful ones,—Progressive Farmer.
