tillable

Upon the maintenance, unimpaired in quantity and quality, of the tillable area of the country its whole future is conditioned.

For this purpose zones of tillable land are set apart in the districts named.

They take away from the area of tillable soil, and add it to waste and unprofitable districts.

Westward the same conditions are manifest, and the limited area of tillable land shows a yearly increasing number of fruit trees.

The houses are tidied and neat; the soil, every tillable inch of it, is in a state of intensive and painstaking cultivation.
