crop rotation systems should be to
leave zach field In a better state Of
cultivation. better physical condition
and reasonably free from pest at the
end Of each rotation cycle.
No hard aud fast rotation system
can be laid down for any community,
but the most profitable system must
be worked out for each farm and. In,
deed. for each field.
There are certain general principles,
however. that should be borne In mind
In this connection IN order to accom-.
plish the most satisfactory results
For soil improvement there should be
at least one leguminous crop in each
rotation cycle, To this class OF plants
belong the cloyers, alfalfa. peas, beans,
etc.
There should be also a sufficient
quantity of live stock. especially
mich cows, on each farm TO utilize
the roughage and 20 supply the de,
sired quantity OF stable manure,
which. in addition 10 green crops
