ROTATION OF CROPS 207 



fruit, dairy products — to make the very best use of 

 this we must, instead of raising the same crop in 

 the same field year after year, adopt the plan of 

 varying our crops, changing from one of one kind 

 to another of a different character, so that what 

 earlier plantings have left in the soil may be turned 

 to account by later ones. This succession of differ- 

 ent sorts of farm produce is called rotation of 

 crops."
