ing. The fields should be cultivated
reasonably early in the spring and
before the crop is sown. if grain is
raised, to kill any plants that may
have started
A good crop rotation will do more
to aid in keeping mustard in check
than anything else. The arrangement
of crops may be varied to suit the
needs of the individual farm. Where
grain raising is principally followed
for climatic or other reasons, it may
be difficult to meet all of the require
ments of good rotation, but some
modified form can be used to advan-
tage. We would suggest this five-
year rotation: D grain seeded to
timothy and clover. (2) hay, (3) hay
or pasture, ca corn, and 60 grain.
The hay land should be broken in
the fall of the second year and the
land carefully prepared in the spring
for corn. Thorough cultivation must
be given the corn and stray mustard
plants removed by hand pulling or
hoeing.
A good seven-year rotation for grain
growers is Q) barley, seeded to tim
othy and clover, (2) hay, (3) hay, (N
corn, 60 wheat or flax. CO. oats, and
CD wheat.
