PLANNING A ROTATION
Make Provision for Permanent
Fertility of Soil.
Among Principles to 30 Kept In Mind
Arc Cultivated Crops, Leoumes,
Grass and Provision for Feed
for Live Stock.

(By PROF. r. c. DONEGHUE, Profess
sor of Farm Crops. North Dakota Az.
ricultural College.)
The planning of q complete rota-
ton for any farm consists Of the
placing Of the crops which give the
greatest net income for the region in
question In such sequence in the
cropping system that the largest net
income for the farm will be obtained.
In order that the system may be per-
manent, 1t is necessary that some pro-
vision be made to maintain the fer
tility Of the soil for future produc-
tiveness. In planning a rotation the
following principles should be kept
in mind. First, cultivated crops, like
corn and potatoes, clean the land Of
weeds, conserve soil water, and i'm
prove physical condition Of the soil.
Second, the legume crops, like clover
and alfalfa, keep down weeds, build
up the organic matter in the soil and
add nitrogen to it. Third, grass crops.
like timothy and bronze grass, keep
down weeds and build up the organic
matter In the soil, but add no i'm
portant element Of plant food. Fourth,
wheat and barley are relatively weak
feeding crops and should be placed
in the most favorable place in the
rotation. They allow the accumula-
ton of certain weeds and allow the
soil to get into poor physical condi-
ton. Fifth, oats are ranker feeders
than either barley or wheat, and do
not demand as favorable a place in
the rotation. They allow the accumu-
lation Of weeds. and the development
Of poor physical conditions in the
soil. Sixth, fax Ia q weak feeder and
demands a good place In the rota-
tion. As q rule it does best on sod
and when given this place in the ro-
tation does not seem to injure the
land for small, grain production. When
seeded on old land on which a rota.
ton has not been followed, 1t fails to
improve the land for wheat produc-
ton. 1t should not be seeded twice
in succession on the same land, and
when 1t is grown a period Of seven
or eight years should intervene be-
fore 1t Is seeded again. Seventh,
clover does best when seeded with a
nurse crop in the more humid por-
lions Of the state. Barley or wheat
