CROP ROTATION.
Work Necessary In Succession OF Crops
Has Healthy Effect On the Soil.

From what l have often observed of
the farming methods in the older states
north of the Ohio river there seems to
be quite general practice of crop rO-
tation.
The basis rule that governs the ro-
tation, and it is the proper one, is to
follow hard crops by grain and grass
or clover and vice versa, grass and
clover by hard crops
The main crops that are grown,
practically all over the country, are
corn, potatoes, wheat, oats, grass of
several kinds, red clover to a.large ex-
tent and some other clOvers in a small
way.
In some states tobacco Is an import
ant crop and in the south cotton is the
leading growth. The best system of
potation is first a cultivated crop, say
corn, cotton, tobacco or potatoes this
to be followed by small grain, wheat,
rye, oats or barley. On the small grain
the best thing to sow Is clover. 1t does
not matter what kind. Common red,
alsike, mammoth, or any other all are
good; where it is difficult to get a
stand and reasonably good growth of
clover, cowpeas or soy beans will come
pretty near serving the purpose
These crops at least add some fer
tility to the soil and make good for
age, but they do not put into the soil
as much humus as good stand of
any of the clovers or grasses unless
the the whole crop is turned under,
and that is waste of good forage.
In Missouri, as shown by the Mis-
souri, experiment station, it is possible
in most years to sow cowpeas after q
crop of wheat, then after cutting OF
the vines to SOW in wheat again.
Theresis no need of this sort OF
quickfire rotation except on very small
farms. On the average farm regu-
lar system may be followed Of grain
crop, forage crop and then cult
waited crop, and this should be the re.
gular system on the ordinary place.
The danger In any system that omitf
the clover or grass Is that the soil vii
become SO deficient in humus, thai
even though there remains a fail
quantity of actual plant food, it viii
still fail to make profitable crops. Blu
outside Of the exhaustion of humus
even though the soil may still have Al
abundance OF plant food, 1t does no
seem to be SO readily assimilable /
the same crop Is continued year aftel
year, as when there is q change from
one crop to another
It is true that all the grain crops -
simulate practically the same elements
but they vary in their proportions Il
some extent. This probably does NO

is practiced on 70 per cent of the for
ests publicly owned This covers the
country's forest resources as they
today. Senator Smoot, chairman of
the section of forests of the national
conservation commission, in outlining
the future, has said:
"By reasonable thrift, we can pro-
duce constant timber supply beyond
our present need, and with it conserve
the usefulness of our streams for irri-
CATION, water supply, navigation and
power.
Under right management, our for
ests will yield over four times as much
as now. We can reduce waste in the
woods and in the mill at least one
third, with present as we'll as future
profit We can perpetuate the naval
stores industry. Preservative treat
ment will reduce by one-fifth the guam
tity Of timber used in the water or in
the ground We can practically stop
forest fires at total yearly cost of
one-f1fth the value of the standing tim
Der burned each year, not counting
young growth.
1--WE shall suffer for timber to meet
our needs, until our forests have had
time to grow again. But If we act Wig
orously and at once, we shall escape
permanent timber scarcity"
