Farther up in the piedmont section on the sandier soils, where cotton 

 and corn are of about equal importance, rotation No. II may be found 

 profitable. This is one of corn, cotton, and oats, or wheat, as local con- 

 ditions may demand. By this rotation crimson clover may be sown in 

 the cotton either at the last cultivation or after the first or second pick- 

 ing. This clover should be plowed under in the spring preparatory to 

 planting corn. Cowpeas should be planted in rows between the corn 

 rows, and oats or wheat sowed after the corn stubble and peavines have 

 been thoroughly disked to pieces and plowed under. When the small 

 grain is cut the land may be plowed and sowed to peas, which may be 

 cut for hay and the land seeded to rye and crimson clover to be ploAved 

 under for cotton the following year.
