The United States Department - of Agriculture in a recent article says: Under the conditions which prevail on the average American farm, the op- portunity, .for' making ‘a ‘satisfactory Pprofit. varies: directly with the -num- Der of acres. farmed, according to farm management specialties in .the department. This statement is sub- .m!“zfd by fl‘“"v'l‘hmi ered in the course -a survey ch has rec been’ made by the - department R portion o Chester: County Fa. This survey, o1 on’ 6f° the Bspecial- ists,” emphasizes what had been 'wfii- ed “the fsmall- tarm which s discussed ‘at_some length .in a bulletin 8001 to’be ssued. .

In such cases vetch, as green manure, offers an ideal substitute for clove. Vetch may followed, if desired, by late cabbasg caulifiower, soy beans, millet corn many other crope.
