To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In lieu of clover sod, any land answering the above requirements that is in good tilth will give fairly satisfactory results. Thorough preparation should be the keynote of any soil. Fertilization Necessary. — If the land is thought to be lacking in both humus and plant food, these deficiencies can be supplied by a good application of barnyard manure. This should be spread on the land after plowing in the fall and thoroughly in- corporated with it in the spring fitting. An appli- cation of stabl...e manure in the spring is not desir- able, as this practice tends to produce scabby tubers. If well-rotted manure is available it may be used. Usually on all soils well supplied with humus, commercial fertilizers will serve the pur- pose much better than barnyard manures, as they may be applied in definite proportions to suit the needs of the plants. Early potatoes require more liberal application of quick-acting fertilizers than do late ones. An application of i,ooo pounds of a commercial fer- tilizer containing nitrogen 5 per cent, phosphoric acid 8 per cent and potash 10 per cent, has been found to give good satisfaction with early potatoes on light soils.
