In companion -cropping, or the growing of two kinds 

 of plants on the land simultaneously, the following 

 principles are to be considered : (1) the crops should be 

 such as will mature at widely different seasons ; (2) 

 one crop should be of distinctly less importance than 

 the other, or be a catch crop;" (3) the crops should 

 be such as will profit by the same methods of tillage
