Otto I. Berg, superintendent of the

some Of the principal benefits as fol-
Flows: It provides larger supply of
plant food for each of the crops in the
rotation; it keeps the soil in better
filth; it affords more opportunity for
the destruction Of weeds; tends to de-
crease plant diseases and insect pests {;
tends to increase the chemical as well
as the bacterial action, resulting in
more abundance of available plant food,
: and larger crops; distributes labor
more evenly throughout the year, and
insures against total losses, which, he
said, were not uncommon under one
crop system, from plant diseases, un-
favorable climatic conditions, insect
pests, and weeds.
