Wheat IN North Dakota Demonstration. Farm at Janestovn-Grown il
Rotation, &"ha&"# -

By l. R. wALDRON, Superintendent,
Dickinson, N. D.. s~ubstation.)
No effort will be made in our Inn
tied space to outline rotations, but it
may be we'll to suggest a few govern
ing principles. The live stock indus
try, should form a very integral por-
ton Of dry farming vastly more than
1t does at the present time. It must
not be forgotten that the whole basis
Of farming rests upon successful crop
production and it is to this element
that q attention is first attracted.
The basis Of successful crop produc-
ton is the soil, and in most Of North
Dakota it is the water supply Of the
soil that is the chief limiting factor.
Therefore some part Of any success
full crop rotation which includes the
small grains, must have for one OBJ
ject the conservation Of moisture at
some period Of the rotation.
Put In other words, this mean that
q rotation containing small grains
must contain an intertilled crop, such
as corn, demanding less moisture for
its maturing than fell during the
growing season, SO that at time of
harvesting such a crop, there will be
q greater quantity OF moisture In the
soil than there was at time OF seed
ing. As far as this principle is car
r1ed out in North Dakota, the clean
~ corn. crop should form one OF the
basal elements Of rotation.
II, however, the moisture is INSULT

allowing q portion to be conserved,

clean summer fallow in place of the
intertilled crop.
: Where money crops are made a
feature Of any system of farming,
there is a constant tendency for hui
mus and organic matter to be lost
from the soil. This loss has an in
furious effect upon the physical prop
critics Of the soil and often in q
marked degree. After having lost
humus and organic matter a soil is
nor apt to elbow" Furthermore
such soil is not so easily titled when
wet and Is more apt to run together
or puddle. The water holding capac-
ity of the soil is decreased by the
loss of humus, as humus Is q valuable
storage. agent of water. With these
facts in mind it ia Of the greatest i'm
portance that. any system Of. rota'
ton which has for its main feature
the production of grain crops should
look towards the retention of the
humus within the soil. The desired
results may be secured ~ by the ap-
plication Of barnyard manure; (2) by
the blowing under of green manure
crops, such as winter rye or sweet
clover; 90 by the Inclusion of pas
ture into rotation-the rotting of the

GOOD POINTS OF ROTATION
Among Other Things It Will Keep Soil
In High State Of Productivity
and Decrease Cost.

(By r. c. DoNEGHUE, Professor of
Agronomy. North Dakota Agricultural
College.)
A well-planned rotation will keep
the soil in a high state Of productivity.
Second, it will prevent excessive losses
in dry years. Third, it will keep down
weeds. Fourth, it will make it posi-.
BILE to obtain a better distribution Of
farm labor. Fifth, it will decrease the
unit cost of producing farm products.
Sixth. it will provide feed for live
stock, which serves as a means Of mar.
