SOILS AND SOIL FERTILITY
No. 6. Rotation of Crops.

By L. w. Osborn, Assistant Agronom-
 ist, College of Agriculture.
 In the improvement of present sys- tems of farming there is nothing upon which success or failure depends to a greater extent than the method of cropping the land Experiments which have been carried upon the oldest ex- pertinent stations have shown conclu- sively that cropping practices bear a very definite relation to the way the soil fertility is maintained.
 As result of sixty years work at the Rothamstead Station, England wheat in good rotation gave nearly double the yield per acre as was ob- tained from the same crop when grown continuously on the same land The yields under continuous culture have fallen off most rapidly during the first few years of the experiment. During the last fifty years the falling of under continuous culture has been comparatively little, and has now reached stage at which it may be maintained regularly. The expert ments in America. though conducted for shorter periods, tend toward the same results. At the Illinois station, after ten years continuous culture, corn yielded thirty-five bushels per acre. Rotating corn with oats and legumes gave a yield of sixty-flve bushels of corn per acre.
 These figures are of extreme impor- tanoe when it is considered that cot ton is grown continuously on the same land in Arkansas, and present low yields, in large measure, can be at tributed to this factor Experience has shown that no nation, state or community can maintain prosper ous agriculture without maintaining soil fertility.
 There are many reasons why the yields of a crop grown con tfnuously upon the same land decline. In the first place, where certain crop is grown continuously, the roots

Her movements | were 1.-the and noiseless like an ami malls, and not one of the heavy sleep CTS stirred. In the narrow passage which led from the street to the en- trance of the cafe man in European dress waited for her. There was sope- thing furtive and restless in his movements that suggested a fear more subtle than that of dan ger. The girl touched him on his arm, and without a word he followed her across the room of sleepers through a curtained doorway into second apart ment. Here there waslno door or win dow A charcoal brazier burned in the center. and its dull sullen glow lighted up the shadows and revealed phantom outlines of low divans and oriental tables, and hid their dirt and disorder in soft mysterious twilight.
 The girl put her hands upon her
 
 at him. He had removed his hat. and the somber light spread a pale repel lent reflection over his white features It was as though an artificial life had been conjured into the face of dead man.
 You are changed, Desire. What has happened in these days? Has there been no comfort for you?"
 His eyes opened. He threw back his head so that they looked each other in the face.
 T tried to kill him." he said quietly but distinctly, ''and mean to kill him. That Is the only change"
 "Is that any change? Has 1t taught your fair, pure young wife to love and honor your" He ground his teeth to- gether without answering. and she went on, her voice grown suddenly harsh and contemptuous. You are fool, Desire. You are fool. like all men. What is there in this one wom- an that you should care? She Is pretty. but others are prettier. I have seen her. for 1t amused me to have a glance at the wonder who could drive two men to the devil And what is she? 4 charming doll with child's eyes and a sparrow's brain. What else
 The girl rose. She took one of the long-stemmed pipes from the table and lighted 1t at the brazier The red em bers glowed up on to her face, where was written somber inscrutable bit terness. She came back and placed the pipe in his inert hand.
 "There.' she said simply. That is what you have come for. Forgetful- ness"
 He nodded. Silently he covered back among the ragged cushions and with half-ciose1 eyes began to smoke. In the hovei there was perfect silence. As tue minutes passed the subtle magic perfume sleeping beneath the rank sweetness awoke. the lurking dreams and faneies came out from among their shadows and moved lightly to and fro n the frightening circle of freight Arnaud smiled wlstfully at
