ground, that the yields may become
smaller than those produced the first
year on sod. There are many exper-
fences which indicate the crop of to-
matoes secured when tomatoes fol-
low tomatoes may be less than one
half of what it would have been if
they had followed some other vege-
table in the rotation.
This reduction in yield may be due
to soil conditions or to insect or
disease attacks. The important thing
to remember is that crop rotations
should be followed whenever possible.
Garden plans should always be
made at the beginning of the sea-
son and, when changes are made, a
record should be made on the garden
plan. These plans should be used in
deciding where to plant the vege-
tables the following and succeeding
years. 1t is best never to plant to-
matoes on the same ground more
than once in four years. Likewise
cabbage, caulifower, sprouted broc-
coli and turnips should not be grown
on the same ground two years in
succession. There are certain vege-
tables that apparently can be planted
on the same ground year after year
but the safe plan is to rotate them
