When they leave their warm bed on cold morn ings they are licatej from fretting, and In the cold air they become chilled and are liable to chronic aliments, which often prove aertoue.

It Is not only econom ical, It poi'tulls hirge uereaitu to be llnml led lit 'the leant cost but it also f places th planta to tii best advantage to withstand drought.

Where tbe season sre very short surfsce planting is better than listing, aa tb retarding of early growth leaves toe planta Insufficient tlm to reach maturity. Where surfac planting Is practiced on fairly level laud It la usually advisable to plant In cbecke to permit cross cultivation. Cross culti vation makes weed snd grass control easier.
