A mulch of corn stover and barnyard manure has given excellent control of soil and water losses from corn after corn on a steeply sloping deep loess soil. During 9 years of measurement in Wisconsin, losses of soil and water from corn after corn with a mulch were less than from corn or oats without mulch in a corn-oats-hay rotation and were about equal to the losses from the meadow in the rotation. Corn yields averaged 3 bushels more from the corn after corn than from the corn in the 3-year rotation.
