Show AIR DRAINAGE IS ESSENTIAL No Farm Crop Can Endure Wet Feet If Land Is Mot Worth Draining It Is Not Worth Keeping. Air drainage is as essential as soil drainage. It is not always the high places that are free from frost. Frequently Fre-quently there are pockets among the hills where crops and fruit suffer late In the spring and early In the fall from the ravages of the frost despot. On low lands there also seems to be places which frost apparently avoids at unseasonable un-seasonable times. These locations have well-established boundary Tines which are known to people of the community. No fruit can endure wet feet. This principle obtains in all farm crops. If your ground is not worth tile draining, It IS not worth keeping, much less establishing es-tablishing it to fruit. |
