tell us that there was more business

INTENSIVE FARMING.

A Clever Crop Rotation Plan Which
Has Proved Success. H.
We have one-eighth acre patch that
makes more money for us than any
two acres on the farm, writes E. P.
II. Gregory in the Farm and Fireside.
Our present rotation is two years in
potatoes and two in strawberries, and
the yield increases each year.
The second crop Of potatoes is al
ways dug and disposed of about the
1st Of July, when prices are good.
Then the ground is prepared for straw
berries and the plants set out at once
We are always able to get sufficient
growth for full crop the next year
when plants are set at this time. We
cultivate once week until frost comes
weather we mulch this patch with
cOrnstalks. the refuse part of shredded
fodder and a good deal of manure.
The mulch is made four or five inches
deep, which effectually prevents heav-
ing. The plants start to grow as soon
as a few warm days come. and the
heavy part of the mulch is then raked
off the row.
Some of the mulch is left between
the rows to help keep the weeds down
until the berry crop is harvested. Some
time after the crop is cared for, and
just before the weeds go to seed we
drive in with the mower and NOW
weeds. vines. and all close. to the
ground. When this cutting is perfectly
dry match is applied, and the patch
is burned off clean. Then the berry
vines are cultivated until frost and
kept trimmed back to a dense row
about a foot wide.
Two crops Of berries are taken off.
The ground is mulched heavily each
winter and burned over each summer.
The heavy mulch is good for the
ground, as are also the two coats of
manure. The ashes made by burning
the trash help to balance up the ferti-
lizer so that this ground is never want
ing in the necessary plant food.
We then proceed to crop this piece in
potatoes for two years, sowing wheat,
rye or rape for winter chicken pasture
and for making a green growth to plow
under before planting potatoes in the
spring. Our fifty hens usually take
care Of the green stuff so that there is
never enough left to choke the plow.
We usually get forty bushels of pota-
toes off this one-eighth acre patch.
