"F" which makes no provision for pasture. Manure is 

 applied for corn as in "F". 



"This rotation has also given good results at Brandon : 

 Its average profit for five years excels that of the straight

 They differ from "F" and "G", in that they do not in-

 of cleaning the land. They include fodder and 

 leguminous crops and are therefore more permanent in
