PROFITABLE CROP ROTATION

The most profitable crop rotation
does not consist merely in changing
the crops around from year to year,
regardless Of the relation of the
crops to each other. The central
aim In all crop rotation systems
should be to leave each field in "a
better physical condition, and reas
onably free from pests at the end OF
each rotation cycle.
No hard and fast rotation system
can be laid for any community, but
the most profitable system must be
worked out for each farm, indeed,
for each field. There are certain
general principles, however, that
should be borne in mind in this con-
nection in order to accomplish the
most satisfactory results. For soil
improvement there should be a.
least one leguminous crop in each
rotation cycle. To this class OF
plants belong the %cloyers, alfalfa,
peas, beans, etc. There should al
SO be a sufficient quantity Of live
stock, especially milch cows, on each
farm to utilize the roughage and to
supply the desired quantity of sta
BILE manure, which, in addition to
green crops plowed under, will fur
nish the necessary amount OF hum
us to the soil. The conditions re
sulting from this treatment, II the
soil is properly handled, will make
the succeeding crops more vigorous
and capable Of offsetting, in sons
measure at least, the effects of any
pests that may appear. Again, the
successive crops in any rotation
should be SO selected and arrange.
that no two upon which the sam:
pest may thrive will be grown il
succession. The principles Of dis
ease control by means of crop rota.
tion are based upon the fact thai
certain pests can thrive only on Ger.
tain kinds of plants. Therefore
when the crops are changed and tht
food supply thereby cut off, the
rests. must perish or be greatly re
duced in number.

WINTER CARE OF ROADS

the more water they contain the
greater the expansion which takes
place. But SO long as the road re
mains frozen the damage does not
BECOME apparent. Hence the ire.
quent and idea that 1t
is the thaw which Injuries the road.
The injury was done when the wa
ter in the road rroze and the par
ticles of the road surface-broken
stone, sand, or still finer particles
OF earth or clay-were pushed apart
by the expanding power of the
fIeezing water. The thaw merely
allows the ice to melt and assume
ats original volume as water.
The remedy is self-evident. Keep
the water out Of the road. The
time to begin preventive measures Is
early in the fall, before the rains be-
gin. Ii the road goes into the win
ter thoroughly dry. with the SUI
face and drainage in good condition,
the chances are extremely favorable
that it will come out all right the
following spring.
Keep the bitches and drains open.
Remove all accumulations Of weeds,
grass, ETC., which tend to retain
moisture and obstruct drainage.
Furthermore, do tins work early,
while the ground is still dry and
hard. Vegetation and litter hold
water like a sponge and allow it to
gradually soak in and soften the
earth. The job before the road man
is to keep the hard, dry surface
formed in the summer time from
becoming softened by the TALL and
winter rains and SHOWS. When the
Lail rains begin the earth or gravel

The collection of water. All raveled
places on macadam surfaces should

During the winter, whenever q
thaw is coming on, the cross drains
and side bitches should be opened
up as far as possible so as to pre-
vent water collecting along the road.
way. If the thaw is so pronounced
that the roadway is softened, tn:
drag should be used, sometimes one
round trip of the drag, with the
