GREAT ADVANTAGE
IN ANY ROTATION
Barnyard Manure Applied to Crop
viii Give Largest Re-
turns.

A great advantage in a rotation 10
that barnyard manure applied to the
crop that will give the largest returns
for the application, rather than to the
field most in need of manure, IRE
spective of the crop grown. 1t has
been demonstrated often enough that
manure applied to root and corn crops
will be effective not only for the fol-
lowing grain and hay crops, but more
Of its fertilizing elements are used In
profitable production than If applied
directly to the grain crops.
OF course, 1t is not the best policy to
stick to one rotation for too long a
period. On most Of our farms a short
rotation at first might very proftably
be followed by a longer one, as the
fertility of the field is increased.
AS a sample the following common
four-year rotation may be cited:
First Year--Hoed crops; Roots
corn, potatoes; balance Of the
quarter section in peas or rape, Ma
nure applied to this section.
Second Year-Grain.
Third Year-Hay (clover).
Fourth Year-Hay and pasture.
A study of this rotation will show
that it is in accord with the principles
of rotation. First hoed crops, fairly
