To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They are used very extensively by truck gardeners and are especially beneficial to potatoes, but should not be used until after the potatoes have been cultivated at least twice. After a mulch has been placed on the ground, it should not be disturbed for the reason that roots grow very close to the surface owing to the moist condition of the soil under the mulch, and if the mulch is removed, the plant will suffer for lack of moisture. Fertility The dry farmer must not lose sight of the necessity... of maintaining a high state of fertility. The moisture-absorbing and retaining power of soil depends upon the amount of organic matter it contains and the depth and tilth of the seed-bed. Soil deficient in organic matter will not retain moisture long unless it is a heavy clay. Humus is necessary to hold nitrogen, and it is absolutely essential to maintain soil bacteria. Nitrogen can be maintained by planting alfalfa, cow peas and soy beans. If the soil is deficient in phosphorus, and manure is not available, it should be supplied in commercial form.
