Excerpt from Farming That Fits the Land, in the Loess-Drift Hills of Northeastern Kansas If you live in this area you know that there are several kinds of land. Each kind has its own good and bad points. Usually there are one or more things you need to do to each kind to get the best crops. Many farmers in this area have found out the things that limit production or cause erosion and have done something about them. This booklet tells you the kinds of land and the cr0ps that grow best on them, and how to handle or treat each kind of land so that you can save your soil. People in this part of Kansas depend almost entirely on products from the farms. If you let the land run out, you suffer first but the business men suffer too. If you keep the good land good, you help not only yourself and your family but the Whole community. You will recognize these problems. All the farmers in northeastern Kansas must solve them in some way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
