. FARM MANAGEMENT IN CATAWBA COUNTY, N. C. 23 



On other lands corn should receive a prominent place. For this 

 purpose a two-year rotation is suggested. (Rotation 6.) When 

 the land is somewhat evenly divided between the upland and lowland 

 the three-year cotton rotation and the two-year corn rotation together 

 make a very desirable system. Of course these rotations may be 

 varied to suit different conditions. 



Rotation 6. — Two-year lowland rotation for Catawba County, N. C, and other southern 



Piedmont areas. 



First year. Corn. Plow in April or later and plant corn from April to June; harvest 

 in September or October; disk land and drill oats or other winter and spring 

 crops. 



Second year. Oats. Harvest in May or June; plow or disk and plant cowpeas or 

 soy beans for hay and seed; cover crop from September to April.
