CROP ROTATION ANALYzED
Experiment Shows Even Mineral
Distribution in State.

Al the end Of twenty -hve years on the
rotation field at the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station all plots we're care
fully sampled and the soil analyzed.
Little difference was found in the am
cunts Of phosphorus and potassium in
the soil Of different lots Very signifi-
cant differences were found. however,
in the nitrogen supply Of soils that had
been handled with different cropping sys.
tens for a quarter Of a century.
~Corn. the only cultivated crop in
cluded in these experiments, was the
most exhaustive Of soil nitrogen, due to
two causes. Corn is a gross feeder and
uses much nitrogen; but more important
is the fact that corn ground lies bare
Throughout the season giving every op-
portunity for teaching and washing. The
process Of cultiyaiiOn hasiens decompo-
si.ion Of the organic mater by repeatedly
turning the soil over. stirring air into it
and thus hastening oxidation or decOm-
position, the report Of r. r. Hudelson
and c. A. Helm says.
Wheat and oats are much alike in
their drain on the soil Nitrogen, being
cultivated only when seeded Wheat
plots are shown to contain a little more
nitrogen than oats plots. which is due
to The fact that winter wheat partly COW

gives less chance for the teaching away

sod crops, are the most important Of
all from soil saving and soil building
point Of view They include: clovers,
alfalfa, timothy, and pasture grasses.
These crops cover she ground through
the winter. reduce soil washing and fill
the soil with masses Of roots which later
decompose and increase the supply Of
organic matter. There are various leg
umes which do moi, belong TO the class
of sod crops but which have a value as
nitrogen crops. In this group are soy
beans, cowpeas, and Canada field peas.
ANY rotation to be satisfactory must
include at least one legume. Generally
it hould contain one or more sod crops
as well as a cultivated crop which, serves
to keep the soil clean. On soils that
are rolling or occupy steep slopes, sod
crops are more imperative because they
are effective in the prevention of soil
washing and erosion

witness for the State, had testified they
were in conference with other cOnsplra-
