THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
“CHEMICAL AND CLOVER” ONCE MORE. 
./. N. H. (Vo Address)s —In former years 
The R. N.-Y. gave the figures of sales from 
the Lewis farm in Now Jersey where the 
rotation known as- chemicals and clover is 
followed. What was the last year’s out¬ 
put? 
Ans. —Mr. D. C. Lewis has sent us 
the following statement of sales for the 
year ending April 1, 1911. 
Taking out five acres for timber and 
lane and uses for yards, we have not to 
exceed 95 acres. 
SALES. 
Milk and calves. $643.35 
Hay . 921.18 
Potatoes, 15-acres. 2,083.10 
Wheat and corn. 532.32 
Chickens and pork. 140.00 
Income, $45 to 
half crop of corn 
$4,319.95 
$47 per acre; only one- 
owing to drought. 
We repeat briefly what has often been 
said about this farm in Middlesex Co. 
The soil is naturally strong and level. 
For some 30 years it has been conducted 
as a fertilizer farm, chemicals being 
used heavily. The sod plowed under 
provides humus, and the cornstalks and 
part of the clover hay are fed to dairy 
cows—the milk being sold to a cream¬ 
ery. A five-year rotation is followed. 
Each year all the farm manure is spread 
on the second year sod and plowed 
under for corn planting. The next year 
this corn ground is planted in early va¬ 
rieties of potatoes. Here is the key¬ 
note of the rotation. At least 1200 
pounds of high-grade potato fertilizer 
are used to the acre with the potatoes. 
When they are dug the ground is seed¬ 
ed to wheat and Timothy, with clover 
added in the Spring. Should the po¬ 
tato crop be above the average some 
fertilizer is used with the wheat. If the 
potato crop is not large it is assumed 
that there is enough plant food left to 
produce the crop. The wheat is har¬ 
vested, then the clover and grass are 
cut two years, after which the sod is 
plowed for corn, then starting a new 
rotation. The manure gives a large corn 
crop, when the season is right, and leaves 
the soil in fine condition for potatoes. 
As this is the money crop of the rotation 
it receives nearly all the purchased fer¬ 
tilizer—the theory being that a large 
dressing will provide for the potatoes 
and leave enough over to produce the 
wheat and grass. In former years the 
handling of the cornstalks was waste¬ 
ful, as many of them were simply rotted 
down in the barnyard or spread on the 
grass land and plowed under. Now they 
are put into a silo or shredded and fed 
dry, thus adding over $500 to the farm 
receipts and supplying a large quantity 
of manure. Under this system of hand¬ 
ling the farm has grown richer and 
richer, and is more productive than ever 
before, although as we see it is annually 
selling large quantities of hay, potatoes 
and grain, all of which are known as ex¬ 
haustive crops.
