' That farmers of Tennessee are
keenly interested in adopting a g.xd
cropping system is indicated by the
numerous inquiries coming to J. C.
McAmis, specialist in agronomy. Di
vision of Extension, University of
Tennessee. Letters asking for Bug
gestions and information on the sub
JeH ore being receive! from all parts
of the State ami it is believed that
the following letter written by Mr.
McAmis in Teply to one of these in
quiries will be of interest to many
farmers:
"One of the first things that should
be piovided on any farm 4s plenty of
good hay and an abundance of pas
turage. On limed land red clover and
a little alfalfa mokes a good combi
nation. These crops may be sown
separate cr they may be mixed. In
the absence of gocd red clover scy-b.-nns
or cowpeas o:' a mixturo of the
two are the bes' substitutes. When
fet ding either cowpeas or soybeans,
the manure must be carefully saved
and returned to the land if any im
provement is to re expected. Lime
and I'hcspbatc, of course, help both
of these crops as well as red clover
aud alfalfa. Crimson clover, or crim
son clover and rye mixed makes the
test winter pasture.
FIVE YEAR ROTATIONS.
"A" rotatioa that Las often been
suggested is as follows: Fir3t year
corn and. soybeans planted in the
same row1, with rye sown after the
corn is harvested. ; Ti c rye may be
grazed and turned under and then
planted to soybeans or cowpeas.
These to be followed by small grain.
On good land, sown late in Septem
ber c early October, barley is best.
For later sowing, wheat is usually
used. Grass should be sown with the
grain in the fall, and clover the fol
lowing spring. The clover and grass
is then used for hay for one year and
pasture for another, going back to
corn the next year. '
"When the farm is limed and
grow3 clover successfully, the soy
beans and peas may eliminated, ex
cept as they are planted in corn. In
thi3 rotation the corn might be fol
lowed with wheat,, the wheat har
vested and the land plowed in sum
mer and limed, and sown in late Sep
tember to barley or winter oats and
red clover and grass. The barley
would then be harvested and possibly

a hay crop the following year, anoth
er hay crop the second year and then
the land could be grazed the follow
ing year. Both of these are five year
rotations. The latter rotation might
be shortened into four, provided
there is an abundancp of permanent
pasture on the farm."
While it i3 difficult, in fact almost
impossible to outline a cropping sys
tem by letter on any given farm, as
every farm is bound to have a differ
ent one, and it must be subject to
change with a satisfactory . alterna
tive, the man living on the farm be
ing the only one abe to determine
these points in the end, however it is
believed that these suggestions will
be of some help to farmers in general
thruout the State, says Mr. McAmis.
SOME ROUGH.

is the motto of Charles L. Gray, 40,
