In 1927, how-! ever, Mr. Braddy began his rotation | system and added soybeans in his corn for turning under. The beans! were planted between1 the rows off corn and also in f.he row with the j corn. He arranged his plantings so j thai this happened to each field each) I two years. In the meantime, he dis-j continued the gwW of cotton and! used the released land for peanuts, j cow peas and soybeans. , Mr. Blair says these crops made! it feasible for Mr. Braddy to increase! his cattle and hogs and to grow the! same acreage of tobacco as thereto-j fore. R? ' y. he told Mr. Blair that! to $1,000 but in 1932 it was only! S200. Yet he has better crops thisj year than in 1927. He also reported j that his checks for hogs iasl year; enabled him to sack out the long' session of the General assembly of which he is a prominent member.
