Should the various crops be grown continuously year after year on the same land or should they be grown in suitable rotations? Should any consideration be given to the adaptation soils or should they be different soils or should they be grown irreupective of the soil type? Recent experimental work sup- plies much useful information on these problems. Some crops such as wheat, oats and com, it has been discovered, produce decidedly high- er Yields when zrown in rotation than when grown under a system of continuous cropping. Other crops such as Timothy, tobacco and pot- atoes, may, if desired, be grown sat- isfactorily in a. system of continu- ous cropping provided the soil fer- tility is maintained. legume crops, such as alfalfa, clover and peas, have a. very beneficial effect not only in increasing the amount of proton in the feed but in aeatlnz soil conditions very much more favorable for subsequent crops than is possible wlthhon-legurnes. The effects of weeds, diseases Mid insect pests constitute lndlvl- dual problems which may require in each different case. a different treatment. A rotation may or may not assist in controlling the prob- lem; certain cultural treatments may be required ff efficient con- trol ls to be secured. The lamest yields can be obtained only when the best methods of production are followed. Experiments have shown the best ram and data: of seeding. the moot suitable mnnurc and fer- tilizer treatments as well as the proper time and methods of har- vesting various crops.
