Have a cultivated or heed crop that the land may be cleared of sweeds. Rotate shallow-rooted = with. deep- rooted crops so as to enlarge the feed. | ing 'ground of your crops. Where live stock is kept plan to have about the same amount of forage every year. Rotations - will naturally vaty, de- pending upon soil, climate conditions and the physical peculiarities tof the farm. Pioneer settlers usually prac- tice a very short rotation andidevoy a large percentage of their growing grain. With dairyingy mixed farming or truck farming, the indi- vidual 'must take into consideration not only soil condition but alse market requirements and plan his yotation accordingly. Where the soil 8nd eli- mate are particularly adapted; to the growing of some one product' which sells at a premium over the same pro- duet from other districts, then quite frequently the rotation is dropped, but special measures are adopted to keep the fertility of the soil. This, how. ever, is the exception and farmers, if they are to continue producing good crops without infpoverishing the soil, must rotate their crops-aleng some de- finite line, A rotation thoroughly planned and held to in a systematic manner, brings with it more orderly arrangement of the farm business. . The fariner works to greater advantage, with clearer purpose with his efforts centred for a longer time on-definits objects.
