Field Station, 1930-41 The rotations in field E contrasted short rotations that included sweetclover with somewhat longer rotations withand without this soil-building legume crop. In three of the 2-year rotations in which the oat crop was used as a nurse crop for sweetclover immediately preceding sugar beets, mediocre returns were obtained from the beet crop when the sweetclover was fall-plowed. The yields of roots and sugar were better than those obtained by a rotation in which no sweet clover Was grown but fell short of what is possible by more efficient management of the sweetclover. A rotation in this 2-year series in which sweetclover was spring-plowed as green manure for a potato crop provided an increase of approximately 5 tons of beets per acre, in comparison with fall plowing of sweetclover. Excellent returns also were Obtained when the sweetclover Was pastured during two seasons prior to growing the beets. The results obtained over the 12-year period have confirmed in all important particulars the preliminary conclusions drawn from the 6-year cycle first summarized. In general, unfavorable rotations re ported on the basis of 6 years have continued unfavorable, with definite trends toward still greater reduction in sugar-beet yields. The favorable rotations that utilize alfalfa and sweetclover and those in which manuring is used to supplement the legumes continue favor able, often showing a definite uptrend in sugar-beet. Yields.
