VAUGHAN, County Agent Cover Crops When you are going through youir fields turning and bending stalks of cotton over, looking at the bolls, you ask yourself if you have - not already done so, where do you find the best stalks of cotton with the most bolls on them. Is it on the gall places, on the hillsides, is it in the bottoms where it was partly drowned.lor is it in the very thin land? If you have any old terraces planted in cotton, if you have a piece of soil in cotton that was full of humas, there you will find well boiled cotton and you will find that this cotton stood the drought bet ter than any other places. Now ask yourself, why is this true. I was in a field of cotton a few days ago and in old terrace spots it will make a bale to the acre, while between terraces the land was thin and had no humus in it and it will only make ci«2-thiru of a bale to an acre. Experiments with cover crops and crop rotations conducted in the South have given results and justified the confidence of farmers. Some of the experiments* show the following: Cotton, following cow peas, gave 511 pounds to the acre; cotton fol lowing cotton yielded only 279 pounds. Both plots were on similar soil and each had received 336 pounds of ferti lizer to the acre. Oats planted to fol low crab grass, gave 7.1 bushels to the acre, but coming After velvet beans, the yield was 28.6 bushels, four times as much. Land left to “rest” does not improve as rapidly as when worked with a good cover crop. When corn is plant ed every three years and the land is left to weeds in the intervals, the yield was only 18 bushels to each acre. The weakest crop grown on South Carolina farms is the corn crop, which in total value comes next to cotton, yet only two states in the Southern group produced a yield of more than 20 bushels per acre last year*. Vir ginia averaged 29, North Carolina 22.5 and South Carolina 16.5 bushels ner acre. This production can and should be doubled, and must be dou bled if we ever expect to make our feed any ways, within reason of cost per bushel. Soil Deficient in Humus The soil in South Caroliiia is very deficient in humus or decayed organic matter. Therefore, the problem supplying the deficient organic mat ter is one of the first with which the farmers is confronted. Humus must be put in the soil for the following reasons: 1. Humus is the chief source of supply of nitrogen. - * 2. Humus, when decaying, iqalces available plant food from the store of unavailable plant food in the soil. 3. Humus acts as a sponge and in creases the water-holding capacity of| the soil. 4. Humus makes the soil more mel low and granular. 5. Humus binds together the soil particles and thus prevents the soil from drying by wind or washing by rain. 6. Humus permits air to enter heavy clay soil more readily. 7. Humus makes soil darker in color. 8. Humus furnishes food for count less numbers of bacteria that are helpful to plant growth. 9. Humus prevents baking. 10. Humus helps to prevent leak age of fertilizers. All organic matter produced on the farm that cannot be used as food should be returned to the soil to sup ply humus. Com and cotton stalks, straw and all spoiled hay, etc., should not be burned, for in burning, the or ganic matter is destroyed. It should be worked into the soil for they will decay and form humus. All manure produced should be saved, spread upon the fields and worked into the soil. If enough of material is not furnish ed in this, manner to keep up the sup ply of humus then some crop should be plowed under for this purpose. The following crops may be sown for cover crops: Hairy vetch can be sown in the cotton fields any time up to the first of November. The vetch seed are cheap. They can be bought from 10c to 12c per pound The seed should be innoculated be fore sowing. When sown in cotton land, first pick the cotton clean then sow the seed at the rate of 15 pounds per acre and cover with spring-tooth cultivator. Crimson clover can be sown in the above manner except sow the clean seed after the cultivator has been run through the cotton middle. Do not cover the seed. Good stands can be obtained by sowing the seed in the burr or chaff, on the ground without any preparation. Crimson clover seed can be bought in chaff for 8c to IQc per pound. Rye grazing crops during winter and when the grazing is finished it can be turned under for a cover crop. Rye does not add nitrogen to the soil like vetch and clovers but it adds hu mus. Only use the Abbruzzi variety. Put a blanket of green on every acre of cultivated land this fall. It will keep thousands of dollars of fer tility from being washed away by the winter rains, and will increase pro duction next fall, and besides adding to the attractiveness of the country. Bare, desolate looking fields are a poor advertisement. Mr. and Mrs. H. S.
