The Rotation of CrOps.

Inc farmers read great deal about
'o'a'ioH OF crops. They don't pay
much attention to it in the Southern
United States, but when they do they
think the result has been ACCOMPLISH
ed In changing from cotton to corn.
and from corn to cotton.
Farmers of extraordinary foresight
think they have more than accom-
ptshed it when they add oats or cow
peas to the rotation. Very few Of
them ever think Of adding cattle as
one element Of the rotation but as a
matter of fact this is the most impor-
tant feature Of all. If the farmer
would set apart a certain strip Of land
and grow cotton on 1t one year and
another strip Of land and grow corn
on 1t the same year, and on aother
strip grow peas, and. on still another
strip maintain a large herd of beef
cattle or dairy cattle. and then in
succeeding years swap these strips
around. he would commence to get
the full value Of his land and his
energies.
The cotton farmer would Of course
never think Of abandoning his cot
ton crop one year ago to grow corn
for the sake Of rotation, but the ro-
tation can be accomplished each year
by dividing the farm I'm into dfAoront
sections as above described.
The cattle crop is a somewhat new
proposition for the cotton planter,
but 1t Is q most logical one. A large
number Of cattle can be maintained
throughout most Of the year on a
comparatively small area with the
ordinary surplus farm products with
out much extra care. In the few
months Of the year when these crops
are not available the farmer in the
cotton region Is especially blessed on
account Of being near to oil mills,
where he can buy cotton seed meal
and hulls. which make the most val
liable feed stuff known. All the while
that these cattle are fattening or
producing milk and butter they are
also enriching the land and by con-
tinually moving the cattle pens from
one portion Of the farm to another,
the value Of the land can be al
most infinitely increased.
