P. 0. Land And
Rich R. Land Say:
P. O. How do you like the looks
of that hillside since I plowed up that
broomsage yesterday lam planting
lespedeza on it this spring.
Rich R. It sure looks a lot better
already. You filled up that gulley
that came all the way down across it,
didn’t you? Be sure and put your
phosphate and lime on before you
seed your lespedeza.
P. O. That’s what the county agent
and soil conservation man both told,
me to do. You ’know, I told you when
I started this soil conservation plan,
I was going to do everything right.
I want to borrow your lime spreader
.and culti-packer next week.
Rich R. Yes sir, you can get any of
my tools you need. I’m glad to help
you get your new program going on
your land. I have a nice Hereford
calf I want to see your boy get for
a 4-H project. I’ll sell it to him for
half price just to help him get start
