ROTATION OF CROPS FOR
DISEASE CONTROL
Clemson College.? The<re are
many crop diseases in which rota
tion of crons is important as a meas
ure of control, such as cotton an
thracnose, several garden crop dis
eases, men anthracnose, bean an
thracnose and root-knot. Root-knot
in fact can not be controlled profit
ably by any other means under ordi
nary farming conditions.
In small areas of intensive work,
such as seed beds, hot beds, and
greenhouse benches, the principle in
volved in rotation can also be applied
However, since more expensive
measures can often be made to pay
under circumstances, soil steriliza
