James A. •Gale, M i niton, Increasing Yields The application ,of a definite scheme of crop rotation is being found an im- portant factor in reducing feed costs. The chief advantages of such a ,prac- tice are: (111) Maintaining and improv- ing soil fertility, thus increasing yields; (2) Assisting inweed control; ('3) Assisting in the control of insect and crop diseases by having various crops on fresh soil each year; and it makes a more even distribution of la- bor throughout the year possible. In- creasing the yield per acre is one of the ,best ways of reducing -cost of production, and in this respect crop rotation plays a real part. • "'Things certainly were tough for ate and my wife the past few months," asserted the 'husband.'
