Farm Tock: Crop rotations including grass and legume crops are of value on heavy clay soils for promoting a favourable soil structure, for increasing the sup- - ply 'of nitrogen in the soil and for controlling weeds. Experimental 'work at the Experi- 'mental Bubstation, Woodslee, Ontario, 'says J.'W. Aylesworth, has shown that continuous row cropping causes the physical condition of Brookston clay. to .deteriorate rapidly and 'economic re- turns from that soil soon become un- certain. The better crop usually contain one or two years of elovers 'or alfalfa. igumes perform an excellent job of sub- |' soiling, breaking up the compacted layer below plow depth and thus im- proving root penetration and acroation "Alfalfa which is allowed to grow for at least two years produces.an excellent phy- sical condition in Brookston clay. Nitrogen is also added to the soil dur- the yield of the crops which follow. A good stand of alfalfa which is cut for hay two or three times a year will aid in the control of persistent weeds such as-sow- thisle,-Canada thistle-and others. A thick stand of alfalfa is especially effective in controlling milk- weed which is resistant to 2, 4-D spray and which-is particularly troublesome where row crops have been grown to | a large extent on Brookston clay in southwestern Ontario, Austin C.
