The Lily Cream Separator A Practical Farm Machine (Classic Reprint)

Description

Excerpt from The Lily Cream Separator: A Practical Farm Machine <p>The individual business that exhausts its natural resources will eventually hnd itself in the throes of failure. Here we have a reason for so many worn out and abandoned farms throughout the country. Such farms are not yet a very common sight in the great corn belt region, but the fact that the grain yield on strictly grain farms, where nothing is returned to the soil, is becoming less each year, brings us sharply a vision of the sure failure of the great grain farms unless a change in systems takes place very shortly. <p>Continuous cropping without feeding the soil exhausts the plant food constituents, and the soil becomes dead just as certainly as failure to eat or secure food will cause the death of a human being. The death of the soil is slower, but nevertheless as inevitable. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
