Buy Yours How At: Crop Rotation Vital Necessity In the -early years of sugar beet growing on the North American continent (1890-1905) the imortance of kroner crop ro­ tation was not thoroughly under­ stood. One of the mistakes made Was growing sugar beets year after year on the same field. The ■reason for this was that, since beets and weeds do not thrive together; a farmer once haying cleaned opt the weeds, was tempted to replant beets the fol­ lowing years to avoid too much hoeing. During the last* half-century the vital need of good crop rota­ tion has come to be understood, certainly by all our good farmers Of Southwestern Ontario. True, some of them act againBt their own better judgment by repeat­ ing the same crop too often in too large acreages for the size Of their farm. This is brought about, usually, by high spring prices of a certain crop which the farmer fondly hopes will still hold good at harvest time. Unfortunately, too many other farmers make the same mistake and so, at fall harvest time there is a lot of disappointment as the market for the particular crop is glutted. This is one condition that does not apply to the sugar beet crop. It’s a rare thing for a farmer to plant too many beets for the size of his farm and thus upset his rotation program. On the con­ trary, many farmers who could’ improve their whole farm econo­ my by growing sugar beets con­ sistently each year, are "in and outers” on this particular crop. They will often pass up sugar beets and "plunge” on some other one crop when the fever is on — usually caused by high spring prices. They would do better to follow the wise counsel of the most successful farmers who follow a sound rotation pro­ gram, including sugar beets, year after year and. let the other fellow do the “plunging”.
