WHAT AcRoP ROTATION DOES
One Of Simplest and Most Practical
Ways by Which Income Of Farm
May Be Increased.

The rotation OF crops Is one Of the
simplest and most practical ways by
which the income OF the farm may be
increased without greatly adding to
the cost OF operation.
The rotation OF crops Is the alternar
ton Of the three general classes OF
farm crops: namely, grain crops.
grass crops and cultivated crops, so
that a crop from each OF the three
classes will appear on each field at
least once during each cycle of the
rotation.
Under grain crops" such crops a.
wheat. barley, fax and millet may be
classed. In their relation to the soil.
Millet. though grown for hay, has
practically the same effect on the soil
as grain crop. These crops deplets
the soil Of vegetable matter, allow
weeds to grow, and have tendency
to deplete the productive power Of the
land.
Under grass crops" may be includ-
ed timothy. bromus and the clovevs.
Though the clovers are not true
grasses, they have heavy root sys
TENS. and add vegetable matter to the
soil. The clovers also add nitrogen
to the soil; but their chief value in
rotation seems 10 be due to the fact
that their heavy root-systems MI the
soil with vegetable matter. thus max
ing It more hospitable to plants.
Under cultivated crops may be
placed corn, potatoes and root crops.
Owing to their cultivation during
growth, these crops have cleaning
effect on the soil. They are. however.
exhaustive Of son fertility: because the
constant cultivation encourages the
liberation of large quantities OF plant
food. These crops leave the soil In
good condition for succeeding grain
crops

Fertilizer Tests in Texas.

At 141 points in so counties in Texas
cooperative fertilizing experiments
are being carried on to determine lust
what plant food is needed. These are
under the direction of the agricultural
college, and the matter will be very
thoroughly tested this season. Some
parts Of the state need fertilizers and
respond very rapidly. Other sections
are so rich that the application Of
plant food might be only a waste. 1t
is to determine the best method of
