Rotation ' B.' 



This rotation of five years' duration includes grain, hay and corn or roots in the 

 order named, the first crop of grain following a crop of corn or roots. Red clover 10 

 pounds, alsikc 1 pound and timothy 5 pounds, is sown with the grain each time grain 

 is sown. When grain follows hay, the land is ploughed in the early fall. When corn 

 follows hay the land is ploughed in the spring, the spring growth of grass and clover 

 being ploughed in along with the manure which will have been applied during the 

 preceding winter. 



The crops on this rotation were rather unsatisfactory. A large part of ' Bl * 

 consists of black muck, and hay, did not do well thereon this year. On ' B2 ' the 

 grain suffered from the dry sununer. Off ' B3 ' was harvested a good crop of mixed 

 luiy. ' B4 ' gave a small crop of corn on account of dry weather. The quality was 

 excellent. ' B5 ' gave a very light crop of grain.
