Rotation

Z" Why is rotation necessary This IS 2
frequent inquiry 4sith practical men sup
posing crop carries off a certain specified
amount Of Inorganic substances from the
soil each of which is Indispensable to its
Development It follows as matter OF course,
that the cultivation Of that crop, for several z
consecutive years, VIII abstract so far from
tie supply in the soil, as ultimately to de-
priye it Of power of producing it But all
crops do not exhaust the soil Of the same
special substances; and hence If we cultivate
/ Indian corn for a couple of years IN success
sion, on one field, and then potatoes, turnIps,
/ peas, beans or carrots we snail and thatthe
latter are by no means stultIhed from any
4 lack of Eutriment-eaeh finding It's eppro-
pirate aliment, and IN sufficient Quantities
to insur its healthy growth and matnratlon
/ There are many organic substances IN the
soil which the corn plant does not specially
require, or appropriate; and which are con
sequently net exhausted By its cultivation
while each ef them are essential to the
growth of some other vegetable. Hence IT
| is that when these are grown alternatyeiys
/ the productive powers Of the soil are not SO
rapidly exhausted, and fertilityis kept up By
a sort of reeuperatlve process the organic
/ element necessary for the development of
/ one crop, having time to accumulate while
/ the soil is occupied by another crop by
/ which they not required.
In many sections of the country the lns
dian corn crop is one Of prime importance,
consequently it Is frequently cultivated for
two, three and even. four years in nsuecesslon5
on the same field bat have observed when-
/ ever this practi has been inlndIei5usly
adopted, that after the third season, generally
t after the second, there is an obyioes talllIng
/ of, even when liberal manuring is adopted
Very few farmers, therefore who consult
their own interests, and who have bad the
/ bor,oEE Of nvrv1 and afa
found to favor it either IA the theory Or
praetice
BY adopting judieious system Of rote-
ton, and adheriRg rigidiy to It, with the as
/ sistance Of copious manuring--retuHiHg T.
the soil more, if possible, than the crops
carry oH-any land may BE retained IN
condition Of high fertility While, by On ep-
posite course, it VIII as certainly be ez-
hausted and run out
1t is principle with me never to attempt
the cultivation of a crop which | cannot
afford to manure we'll and this should be the
policy of every farmer 0ne had better run
in debt for manure than exhaust his soil By
cropping without IT, or perhaps, bad better
suffer his land to rest until manure can BE
made.
