TT IS recognized generally that the crops grown •••and the sequence of these crops directly or indirectly affect the physical and chemical properties of soil. It is the purpose of this paper to report the effects of continuous corn, a rotation of corn, oats, clover, and continuous bluegrass on aggregation, organic matter content, loss of soil and water, and crop yield in a Marshall silt loam soil for the period 1931-41.
