Crop Rotations Distribute Labor.

The problem of efficient labor on
the farm is also made more simple by
the adoption of a system Of crop ro-
tation. The farmer is enabled there

the entire year, thus avoiding the ne
cessity for short time service. Such a
provision also allows the farmer to
keep his animals employed through.
out the entire year, instead of allowing
them to stand idle a considerable pOr'
ton CT the time.
