An article argues for a defined crop rotation on farms with corn and potatoes on sod, alternating with grain and grass to maintain soil fertility. It advises planting on sod, using phosphate, and applying manure in later years, plus long term plans for four to six year cycles and hay production.
The speaker argues that every farmer should breed plants as well as livestock. He notes farmers resist inferior animals yet allow poor crop varieties to persist, calling it a serious error and a degeneration of species.
The article argues that farmers should select seed with desired traits to breed superior plants as carefully as animal breeders do. It cites lima beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and fruits as examples, notes risks when introducing new varieties to different environments, and urges cautious experimentation with others’ varieties.
The article explains that much feed value is lost to digestion while manure returns nutrients. It shows clover and cottonseed meal yield profit via manure, with nitrogen and minerals largely ending up in the manure heap. Feeding to live stock gains oil and starch but benefits the soil less.
A farmer should protect stock, implements, wagons, and tents with a good roof and regular upkeep. Keep equipment painted and well maintained to resist weather, clean and oil harness, and perform these tasks on rainy days as essential for lasting quality and efficiency. Published advice from M Sumner Perkins in the New York Tribune Farmer column.
