The farm consists of 45 acres of roling farm land, with the remaining 21 acres a flat river bottom with enough of a rise at one place for the farmstead. The 45 acres are used for crops on which a three-year rotation is practiced, the crops being corn, oats, and clover in the order mentioned. Every fall the stubble ground and new clover is covered with a coating of manure. This helps to protect the clover during the winter and at the same time gets the use of the manure on the clover ground and the corn. By doing this there is but very little extra fertility 6aved over for the oat crop, and therefore it does not lodge under ordinary climatic conditions.
