The burning of the vegetable growth to clear the land of trash has been the custom all over the new parts of the country. Thereby de- stroying the material that forms hu-’ mwus, and the nitrogen that it con- tains—two of the most valuable parts ot preductive soil, hence the land is goon worn out. The practice in the older agricul- tural regions is to stop this extrava- gant waste and return to the soil as much as possible of the vegetation eiher ployed under or in the form of Lkarnyard manure.
