E\BOR and the maintenance of fertility are two 

 of the more serious problems of the average 

 corn-belt farm. This bulletin gives the details of 

 a system of farming efficient in meeting both. By 

 this system farm labor in general is distributed 

 well throughout the year, and harvest labor is re- 

 duced to a minimum by hogging or pasturing off 

 all or a large part of the three main crops corn, 

 rye, and clover. This process of harvesting 'not 

 only saves much labor at rush seasons but keeps up 

 soil fertility.
