100 FIELD CROPS FOR THE COTTON-BELT 



cotton; second year, corn and cowpeas; third year, winter 

 oats or wheat followed by cowpeas as a catch crop. 



If the farmer wishes to grow more cotton than is pro- 

 vided by the above rotation, he should grow cotton two 

 years in succession, and thus employ a four-year rotation. 



For thin land the Georgia Experiment Station recom- 

 mends the following rotation: First year, corn with cow- 

 peas; second year, oats or wheat followed by cowpeas; 

 third year, oats or wheat followed by cowpeas; fourth 

 year, cotton. 



In the northeastern part; of the cotton-belt, the follow- 

 ing rotation is rather widely applicable: First year, corn 

 with cowpeas; second year, peanuts; third year, cotton; 

 fourth year, cotton. 



In many sections, crimson clover is grown following 

 cotton and preceding corn.
