Succession of Soiling Crops.—The succession of soiling crops 
to be grown, and the details in carrying out either full or partial 
soiling, will vary greatly according to climatic conditions and the 
crops adapted to each locality. An extensive literature has been 
published by our experiment stations and the United States De- 
partment of Agriculture relating to this system. The following 
references include the more important experiment station publica- 
tions relating to soiling conditions in the various States:

Summer Silage.—It has been shown that the soiling system

down more or less in seasons of extreme drought. For these and
