H D Hughes of Iowa State College reports that sowing alfalfa or clover or rape in corn at the last cultivation can save a year in crop rotation. Sweet clover can provide pasture or green manure, with 6 to 8 pounds of rape used where hogging down is planned. Success depends on late rains and timely harvest, with about half the seasons yielding a good stand under average conditions. Seed broadcast with a cyclone seeder before final cultivation.
