CROP ROTATION

The United States Department Of
Agriculture has issued statement
to the effect that in general, "crop
rotation has been found to be prac-
tically 95 per cent as effective as
farm manure, or complete fertilizers,
in maintaining the yields of wheat,
corn, and oats, and about 80 per cent
as effective as these fertilizers in in
creasing the yields of these three
major crop" The statement goes on
to say that the beneficial effects of
crop rotation do not impair the ben
efits derived from the use of fertiliz-
ers; so that when these two farm
practices are combined the one prac-
tice adds to the benefits of the other.
All the conditions of crop rotation
and fertilizers are discussed in Far
mer's Bulletin 1475-F, which may be
obtained free by writing to the Uni
ted States Department Of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c. ,
