FEED CROPS ARE CONVENIENT
May Not Bring in Much Money, But
They Take Care Of Animals
Which Can Be Sold.

Feed crops may not bring much cash
but they are very convenient to take
care Of the animals. The animals may
be converted into cash or the prod.
ucts from animals such as milk, cream,
etc. 1t is not an easy matter to pro-
duce too much feed. 1t is hoped that
the money generally paid out for feed
will be kept at home this year.

SYSTEMATIC CROP ROTATION
SNhe Lequme Must Be the Base to Re.

Glover Favored.

Good farming calls for a systematic
crop rotation just as much as a gaso-
line engine calls for a balance wheel.
Crop rotation is the balance wheel
for good farming. Some legume must
be the base of this rotation. It will
restore nitrogen to the depleted soil
and help furnish balanced feed for
live stock. Red clover seems well
adapted to these requirements when
we take into consideration the needs
Of the soil and the needs Of the farm
animals.

"Successful tomato growing depends
on good farm practices, good seed,
