THE MOST PEOFITABLE ROTATIONS 



99 



The following is a summary showing what are the best rotations, according to the data and prices previously 

 indicated, under which the various crops should be grown. 



With a view to avoiding unnecessary detail, the dates are given to the nearest decade or half decade, but, as 

 already stated, such dates are largely determined by the respective prices obtainable for the timber at various ages. 



And, so also, by the rate of interest which a landowner is content to receive. The lower the rate of interest at 

 which money can be borrowed, the longer may the rotation be. 



But, in the following summary, it is presumed that money can be borrowed at 3 or 4 per cent, interest ; and 

 unless there is a big difference in the length of rotation as indicated thereby, an average length of rotation is specified.
