ROTATION 'b.' 



This rotation of 5 years duration includes grain, hay, corn or roots in the order 

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

 alsike 1 lb. and timothy 5 lbs. is sown with the grain each time grain is sown. \Vhen 

 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 very fair. The crop on Bl however was very short 

 on account of the black muck soil being very weedy. It was necessary to cut part of 

 this field while still green so that the average was very materially lowered. B2 waa 

 similarly affected in a less degree. The corn on B5 was a remarkable crop.
