despite his cleverness.
During these warm days the

CROP ROTATION.

Crop rotation is. coming to be
recognized as an important factor in
profitable farming. In some very
simple systems of rotation conducted
at the Minnesota Experiment Station,
/ st. Anthony Park, difference OF
1918. 43 an acre in net profit Is shown
between poorly arranged cropping
systems and those that provide for q
proper system of rotation. Pasture and
hay crops judiciuosly distributed
throughout the rotation with the
reasonable use Of cultivated crops
invariably result IN greatly increased
yields of grain and all other crops.
Rotations in five and six-yea1
periods appear to offer the best
opportunities for increasing crop
rotation, but the three and four-yea1
rotations also give splendid results
when the crops are properly arranged.
Many combinations of crops are in
cluded IN the 1913 plots now devoted to
experiment IN crop rotation at
University Farm. giving a splendid
basis from which to draw conclusions
on good arrangements of crops for
various types of farming.
The station authorities believe that
the farm revenues of Minnesota can be
raised at least rs per cent by a
rational system of crop rotation, but
as this rotation must be arranged to
suit each individual farm, it is not
possible to give system of rotation
that Will be suited to all. Prof.
Andrew Boss, the agriculturist Of the
Station at st. Anthony Park, who has
this work in charge, will revise
plans OF rotation or suggest new rota-
tions free of charge upon receipt of
inquiries.
