B. Stuckey’s account of it. He is a firm believer in the value of rotating to produce the best results. His farm consists of 75 acres divided by neat wire fences into three equal fields. In one of these he plantsooni and in another Option and in the oth er pats, each field containing 25 a- cres. Every year each crop rotates. Cotton follows oats, com follows cot ton and oats follows corn. In the com and oats sections peas are planted. The corn he plants ontheWiUiam- son plan using only 700 pounds of gu ano to the acre, his land is: ed. The yield is per acre; 75 ot corn, 100 bushels of oats and 2 bales of cotton,besides peas and pen- vine hay. Mr. McLeod says it ia bard to tell which field produces moat in dollars and cents—and he had it all down in his books, the cost and val ue of the products of each acre.
