JWfe haven't enough * * A- -" ?AiilflVQ t I woods to wvt?i mc vuam ? ed area one time even lightly. Then we should have to wait for years to make the second application, whicn would be too costly even though sufficient quantity could thus be had -each year. There is no Reason why all other wis? idle lands should not be sown, to rye in September and October to fur nish this humus most cheaply and M most abundantly from year to year, and in addition to furnishing humus, V it conserves plant food that would AT otherwise leach out of the soil and be lost. Such a cover crop, furtherW more, prevents land from washing, I which means a heavy loss to all hill and rolling land. Abruzzi rye Is the best know rapid, vigorous growth, and makes B Tiety lor this purpose as it makes a p- It earlier than any other crop on or1 dinars land. I It is a well known fact thiat one heavy crop of rye turned land followed by cotton or corn will, in a dry sea k son, often make double tne yieia on B poor land fertilized as similar land E "without such a cover crop. This is true because -water is the limiting factor in crop production in a Iry Br summer. The turned rye holds moist I ure and gradually feeds the plant on > the fertility present, when otherwise *the crop would ruin of starvation in (the midst of plenty of fertility which i ii is unable to use for want of humus to hold and supply moisture. "With, rye, there is no inoculation problem?just a negro job of scratching about one bushel per acre in the -cotton rows, corn rows, and on the pea stubble in -September and October. Even when clover or , vetcft is used as a cover crop, rye should be sown with them; for, humus is our greatest need, and the two crops together will furnish more of this material than either one growing alone. (Rye, furthermore, paves the way for easier success with all winter legumes in that it supplies the soil with humus, which always makes j easier the inoculation of the land J for legumes. During July land [August put your surplus money in RYE?not the lx>ttled variety, but the BAGGED article. An Announcement. The Ladies' lAid Society of Smyrna church, will meet with Mrs. C. A.
