THE LITTLE
PAY
By c. c. BOWSFIELD

strating the great loss that is being
sustained throughout the country Id
not making closer study in require
ments of cultivation for large grain
yields. 1t is rotation and diversity
that are lacking-the former to Keep
up the farm, the latter the profits.
Every practical rotation must con-
tain crops that use nitrogen and crops
that gather it. For example. In the
common rotation of corn. wheat ana
clover the first two use nitrogen. and
the third gathers it. In fact. clover Is
a user and a gatherer of nitrogen. Do
not think because a legume adds nitro
gen to the soil that it does not use up
plant food. All the leguminous crops
use more potash and phosphorus than
almost any of the grain crops. A large
amount of nitrogen Is also used. but it
is taken from the air.
Now let the farmer push this diversi
fication far beyond the corn. wheat and
clover crops. Cowpeas and oats sown
together make splendid fodder and
benefit the soil They can be harvest
ed by midsummer and a crop Of m1llet
grown on the same land by fall. Rye
and clover sown together in the fall
can be cut for fodder by June l and
potatoe corn, rutabagas. millet or
cowpeas grown the same season.
While farmers are making 500 to $50
an acre on heavy grain crops they
should not overlook such products as
onions. beans. potatoes, sugar beets
and fruit, which return a profit Of 500
to 5000 an acre and place agriculture
on a business basis.

that the seed ears selected should not

How Europe Saves Fertility,

The fertility OF European soils is
maintained by maintaining the supply
of active plant food and of organic
matter A part of the nitrogen is Sc
cured from the air. a part from the

losses of potash and phosphoric acid in

Vetches are not very extensively
grown in the United States, and they
