The text argues against a rotation that omits peas or clover. It recommends alternating corn, cotton, and a legume crop, then oats, with crimson clover sown through cotton. Peas or velvet beans add nitrogen, while weed growth provides little soil restoration compared with legumes and manure. It suggests cutting corn with peas, spreading hay and stover, and using resulting manure to enrich clover for the next cotton phase.
