FARM SYSTEM NEEDS.
Expert Says Farmer Should Distribute
Work Over Entire Year.

Washington. April 4.-According to
the report of an investigator OF the
office Of farm management, an Ell
acient system for the corn belt must
distribute the labor we'll turnout the
wear and eliminate the greater part
If the rush work during crop gathering
neriod by harvesting most of the crops
with livestock, principally swine
II "a possible on most farms 70 gro"
a greater acreage Of crops than can
be harvested with the regular ~ Z
force The work that the hogs are able
70 do by this plan relieves the CON
sestion when outside laoE is most
needed and makes it possible TO hanole
a. greater acreage, thereby increasing
the size of the business and the net IN
come.
The system in itself is simple. There
are only three crops grown-corn, rye,
and a mixture of clover and timothy
These are generally run in four year
rotation as follows: First year, corn
(hogsed DOWN: second year, corn
fcron cut and rye sown); third year
rye (pastured and hogged of); fourth
wear. clover and timothy (hog pastured
and cut for hay).
The hogs are turned in on the rye
field early in the spring and allowed &c
pasture that crop until about the 10Th
of Nav Then they are turned in or
the clover field, where they remain
until about July Is. BY that time the
rye will have been ripe for about two
weeks. The hogs are then turned II
on the ripe rye to gather that cror
and to Craze the young clover which
has grown up therein.
Six 100 pound hogs will gather
seventeen bushel per acre crop OF rye
| In six weeks. Timed in this way, the
rye crop will be gathered by Sept. l
AS soon az the hogs can be brought
to a. full feed on corn they are turned
in on the first-year corn and allowed t.
gather that crop also. Thus three crop:
LOT the four are gathered by the hogs
and the fertility contained in thes'
