In these three buildings, approxi

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. Coffman will
leave the first of next 'week for St.
Petersburg, Fla., where they will
make their, future home, Mr. Coff
man having accepted a position as
superintendent of the large printing
plant of the Tourist News and Press
Company.
Mr. Coffman came to Clinton eight!
years ago and accepted a place with
Jacobs & Company as superintendent |
of their printing plant, a position he i
has most creditably and satisfactorily
filled. r Durinlf 1 this period he and
Mrs. Coffman have made a wide cir
cle of friends in the city who will
learn with regret of their departure
and whose best wishes will follow
them to their new home. Their resi
dence on Calvert avenue will be occu
pied by Col. and Mrs. E. L. Glasgow.
