ROTATIONS 



Besides these advantages, in the case of 

 the truck grower it is found that it is a 

 great advantage to turn under a crop, such 

 as the stubble or grass, in order to increase 

 the humus content of the soil. The trucker 

 generally is not so well located as the 

 market gardener, and therefore, his supply 

 of manure is rather limited, and he cannot 

 build up his soil physically by the addition 

 of the limited amount of manure he may 

 use, so he must revert to the use of crops, 

 such as clover or grass, to increase this 

 physical condition of his soil. Any system 

 of rotation which will give every third year 

 or every fourth year a crop of sweet corn 

 may be very beneficial to the land and 

 profitable to the crop.
