Whether you realize it or not, you’re
gambling with wind, rain^or ?hdw each
day you hesitate to adopt a complete soil
conservation program for your farm!
. Through simple conservation, prac
tices, you’ll profit through larger-crop
yields, the result of saving soil .fertility;
and water. On slopes up to 5 per cent, a
good cropping system, bolstered by
contour farming and well-sodded water"
.ways, will reduce the loss of topsoil at
least 50 per cent. Under similar con*
ditions, with fields terraced, erosion
control has been as high as 90 per cent
effective. v
Considering this, we urge you to "talk
over your problems with the local soil ,
conservation representative soon. And
remember—your John Deere Equipment
can* play an important part in adding
extra years of productivity to your acres,
