I Millet, though grown for hay, has 1
practically the same/effect on the soil
as a grain crop. These crops deplete

Under “grass cyop®” may be includ-
ed timothy, bromus and the clovers. ,
Though tbe clovers are not true
grasses, they have heavy root sys-
tems, and add vegetable matter to the <
soil. The alovers also add nitrogen .
to the soil; but their chief value in a
rotation seems to be due to the feet
that their heavy root-systems fill the ]
soil with vegetable matter, thiis mak-
ing it more hospitable to plants.
