I'Jf " - Du T7 if We Would Increase Production j. By P. G. HOLDEN. ROTATION of crops means diversification, and diversified farming is safe farming. Crop rotation lessens the risk of failure; Increases the sources of income. We cannot expect to make a profit from farming by growing only one crop and devoting two-thirds of our time to doing it. Crop rotation distributes farm work throughout the entire year. It means steady employment more efficient farm help. Rotation Maintains Fertility. Crop rotation, including the growing of alfalfa, clovers or other legumes, and the raising of live stock j maintains soil fertility. Whenever ! icti li -i vo ppnn rntoUnn wrt ViavA live stock ; whenever we have live stock, we have crop rotation. The two are Inseparable. Not only do they maintain soil fertility, but they Improve the condition of the soil. Weeds, insect pests and plant diseases flourish whenever we follow a one-crop system. Rotation helps keep down the weeds, starves out GRAIN FARMING ROBS THE SOIL ? It YEARS TEST.IM TENNESSEE IBQ TO I90T Note the difference the upper line on this chart shows Increase in corn production following a system of crop rotation and live stock raising The lower line shows decrease in production under a one-crop system. many destructive Insects and helps to eliminate plant diseases. Rotation gives us a variety of feed ; makes the raising of live stock more profitable; gives us something to sell every week in the year. In wide sections where the onecrop system predominates, there is no country home life, few children and few country schools. There may be great fields, but the soil is "sick" unproductive. Erosion of the soil is common; there are no big red barns, no silos, no modern homes. Neglect and decay are evident everywhere. Poverty Sure to Result. Soil robbery means poverty poverty not only for ourselves but for our children and our children's children. We only hold the land In tmst for those who come after us. We must turn it over to others In as good condition as we found It. The future welfare of our comnranlty and our state the future of America depends upon our being ood stewards.
