To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With the native plow that is universally used by the Filipino planter^ in the preparation of their soil, it is impossible to satisfactorily turn under the weeds, grass, and trash. All vegetable matter is, therefore, either piled and burned, or, if too green to burn, is carried to the edge of the field. A large amount of valuable material is thus wasted, Avhich, if properly turned under and allowed to decay, would add greatly to the fertility and water-holding capacity of the soil. A gi-eat im- ...provement could be made by using modern plows which would not only turn under the vegetable matter, but also make it possible to prepare the field more rapidly than with the native plow. With the native plow it is necessary to plow and cross-plow the field several times before the soil is in suitable condition for planting. Land that is not subject to inundation should be plowed six or eight weeks before the time for planting, in order that the clods may be broken up by the rains. Just before planting, another plowing should be given the field.
