CROP ROTATION INCLUDES BEETS Crop Rotation Proves Boon To Better Sugar Beet Crop Saginaw, Mich, De>. —Commenting on the subject of crop rotation, in farmers’ bulletin No. 1637, published by the United States department of agriculture, J. O. Lili, one of the foremost authorities in the United States on sugar beet culture, says, ’'The desirability of rotating sugar beets with other crops depends upon several factors. Rotation is not an end in itself but merely a means to an end,-and unless some definite benefit is derived there is no practical or logical basis for it. The main reasons for the generally accepted practice of rotation in the case of sugar-beet growing are: Proper rotation permits the economical utilisation of the condition of the soil as left by the preceding crop. Proper rotation increases the, profits by an elimination of work. Proper rotation protects the • crop to a very considerable extent I against insect pests, weeds, and plant diseases. Nearly every properly planned rotation upon a mineral soil will include one crop that adds organic matter to the soil. This may be a legtime, but other crops are often used for this purpose. If a leguminous crop is used, the double purpose of adding organic matter and nitrogen to the soil is accomplished at one time. Os the various green-manuring crops, red clover, sweet clover, and alfalfa are probably the most important. These are sometimes grown immediately preceding the sugar beet and sometimes as the second crop previous to the sugar beets. There is some objection to using either

I alfalfa or sweet clover immediately preceding the sugar beets, since ; both these crops are likely to . j leave the soil in a poor physical . condition and the plants, which are I j difficult to eradicate, may persist I and become weeds in the sugar- ! beet held. On this account many >: growers favor the use of a green | manure as the second crop preced- ' ing the sugar beets, the interven- ' Ing season giving ample time to .. eradicate any plants of the deep- . j rooted legume that may have persisfPa, as well as to reduce the soil to a desirable state of tilth. One other objection to using a green- ’ manuring crop immediately preced- ,; ing the sugar beets is that in some ,i instances there is greater danger of insect injury. Cutworms and white grubs, as well as wireworms, are often found in grassy, clover sods, and if sugar beets are planted immediately following such a crop insect injury is likely to be sustained. Fall plowing in this case will reduce the danger of injury from white grubs and wireworms, or an intervening crop can be grown in case fall plowing can not be done. In some rotations that have been very successful with sugar beets, heavy applications of barnyard I manure are used in place of a I green manure. The success of i this practice depends to a large ! extent upon the quantity of manure that is available, as it requires relatively heavy applications to equal a heavy growth of a greenmanuring crop in supplying or-; ganic matter. The crop sucession in a properly planned rotation will be such as to leave the soil as free from weeds as possible. This is a factor of great importance. In some places the impression has become established that the sugar beet crop can be profitably used to clean up foul fields in preparation for other crops. On account of the intensive work which is normally given the sugar beet this is possible, but the net cost is likely to ue far greater than is supposed on
