There is no meaning in the phrase
rotation OF crops" 60 the man who
raises only cotton He cannot change
to another crop even at the end OF the

out his cotton, or he is overwhelmed

the demands Of his creditor.
Rotation OF crops means as some
sees It, merely that the land given over

wheat or planted in corn this year
As others see Il, It means at least two
