Rotations for Truck Farming and Vegetable Growing.—Rota- tions for truck farming and gardening have not been definitely determined. It is generally recognized that truck crops and vegetables are grown most successfully in rotation with clover or some other legume. In general, root crops should follow non-root crops, and legumes should follow non-legumes. Crops such as cabbage and sugar beets are best grown in rotation with common field crops. Wheat-clover-melons, or ;^heat-clover-corn-melons, are rotations well adapted for melons where wheat may be grown. Corn-cowpeas-muskmelons (heavily manured) is a rotati
