EOTATION 8. 



First year — Tobacco. 



Second year — Wheat or oats, soybeans or cowpeas. 



Third year — Grass mixture. 



Fourth year — Grass mixture. 



Fifth year — Corn, rye put in to be turned under in spring. 



Sixth year — Tobacco. 



EOTATION 9. 



First year — Tobacco, followed by crimson clover or vetch plowed under. 

 Second year — Corn. 



Third year — Wheat or oats, soybeans or cowpeas, followed by grass seeded 

 in fall. 

 Fourth year — Grass mixture. 

 Fifth year — Grass mixture. 

 Sixth year — Tobacco. 



In rotation 8, corn precedes tobacco and can be used on land that is 

 too rich to grow good tobacco after having been in the grass mixture 

 for two years. Most of the tobacco land in the wilt section needs more 

 nitrogen and organic matter however, and it is very probable that 

 rotation 9 will give better results. 



EOTATION 10. 



First year — Tobacco, with crimson clover or vetch in fall. 

 Second year — Corn, with cover crop of crimson clover or vetch. 

 Third year — Cotton, followed by crimson clover or vetch. 

 Fourth year — Corn, cover crop of vetch or crimson clover. 

 Fifth year — Cotton, with rye in fall. 

 Sixth year — Tobacco. 



Rotation 10 is a good one, and can be used with good results pro- 

 vided the cover crops are put in every year and plowed under in the 

 spring. If this is not done, the main crops, being clean cultivated crops, 

 Avill soon render the land so infertile that a profitable tobacco crop can 

 not be grown. 



Rotation 11. 



First year — Tobacco, with oats and vetch or rye and vetch sown in fall. 



Second year — Harvest fall crop for seed and follow with summer crop of 

 cowpeas or soybeans either for seed or hay. Fall-sown wheat, oats, or Abruzzi 

 rye for seed. 



Third year — Soybeans or cowpeas to succeed the wheat, oats, or rye. Rye 

 and vetch, vetch or crimson clover to be turned in spring. 



Fourth year — Corn, with rye and vetch or crimson clover in the fall. 



Fifth year — Cotton, with rye in fall. 



Sixth year — Tobacco. 



Rotation 11 has two small grain crops, the first, oats and vetch or 

 rye and vetch to be harvested for seed. The vetch is a legume crop 

 and can be harvested with the rye and oats for seed. This will insure 

 an abundance of legume seed for the farm and possibly some for market. 

 The second year wheat, oats, or Abruzzi rye can be planted alone for
