There was another interesting thing which Margarita wanted to write a bit about. She had heard about fertilization when agriculture and horticulture were being discussed.
So Margarita wrote the following about fertilization.

    Look at these cows here and think. Are they really meant to be here, or, having broken out of their enclosure, are they now trampling grassland? If that is the case, there will soon be nothing for the tractor to harvest.
