Crop Rotation in The Vegetable Garden The term rotation, as applied to crop production, means a systematic arrangement for growing different crops in a more or less regular se- quence on the same land. This pro- cedure, according to F. Chipman, Dominion Experimental Station, Kentville, N.S., is important in veg- etable growing, and should be plann- ed and followed as systematically as possible to assist in the Control of A STA' tEl ENT OF POLICY by the GENE AL MS'f'ORS DEALER handling CHEVROLET o OLDSMO3ILE CHEVROLET TRUCKS Shortly after the war concluded, and because it was of timely impor- tance, we—your General Motors dealer --issued a statement outlining our business policy.

GM.247X disease and insects, and to help the better use of resources of the aojl, bans tieliOn diseases ran be Con- trolled in a practical way by a ,Ys- telnatie rotation in which the host . plant is _grown on the same laud not more often than once 1n every few years. Club root of cabbage can be controlled bykeeping the land free of crue•ileraue ri'ops and weeds for seven years; e .r1y blight of potatoes' and . tomatoes, for a period of two to tinee y are; foot rot of peas, -a 1'0 ration of three years or more: and onion mildew, three to four years. Rotation is also of value in the control of SUMO insects, especially those which are unable to. more far. If the host plants are not near, the insects on emerging will die before reaching them. Here a short rotat- tion is usually effective. Injury from such insects as the white grub and wireworm may be avoided by not planting susceptible plants on. old green sod ploughed down. Continuous cropping with certain -er.etables has a depressing effect on yield. Likewise, there is a belief among' vegetable growers that the previous erop has an important re - lotion to the yield of a crop follow- ing. While it is difficult to outline a definite rotation for all conditions, the following principles should he observed. To utilize the resources of the soil fully, it is well to alternate shallow 1-ome,1 and deep rooted crops, and to follow crops which ftrnish organic matter with those whose culture faro' their decompo- sition. A crop such as fall rye may be used to furnish the organic mat- ter and it may be grown in a rota- tion which will not interfere with the vegetable crop season. In many sections of Canada veg- etable crops are grown in rotation -with general farm crops. In such cases a grain crop may fellaw the vegetable crop, and this, in turn, may be followed with a legume hay. The sod land may then be planted to corn or potatoes, followed by a vegetable crop the next year, or the vegetable crop may follow the hay unless weeds or insects are likely to be troublesome. A clean culture crop such as corn or potatoes should tiered small close -growing vegetables such as beets, carrots and onions. HAS PURCHASED FARM Mr. f=e+ret.

EVERYBODYS' BusIEss by The other day I had an in- teresting nteresting conversation with a piano tuner who was work - Mg in my home. Although I had always thought his profession a rather monotonous one, I was soon to change my mind. For he talked so engagingly about his work, the construction of the instrument and other re- lated matters, that I found myself becoming genuinely interested. But what fascinated me most was his great enthusi- asm for his work. This attitude towards one's job is greatly to be desired. Enthusiasm has a magic, warming effect on all of us. And in a worker—be he sales- man or carpenter, butcher or book-keeper—it wins admira- tion and co-operation from employers, customers and all others with whom he comes in contact. So, especially to younger men, I would say: Regardless of whatever headaches and disappointments your work may bring, keep on being enthusiastic! u a Millions of owners and bene- ficiaries of life insurance pol- icies enthusiastically endorse this form of investment for security.
