O'DELL Soil Conservationist W. P. Dickson, of the Hopewell community, was disking a seven- acre field of kudzu last week in preparation for the planting of corn next spring. The field has been; in kudzu for the past six or seven j ears and there is a tremendous | amount of residue of leaves and vines on the land. Mr. Dickson said that he plans to give this a second •^ disking during the winter or early tipring in order to get the organic ! g matter into the soil to hasten de- «•; composition. Farmer experience and experi- ;j ment station results show that corn g yields are greatly increased by fol- \\ lowing a corn-kudzu rotation. At :;j the Alabama Experiment station jj corn yields were increased from j.j :;j 14.7 to 34.0 bushels per acre in four \\ crops of corn in such a rotation. j* Mr. Dickson, who is a district :j supervior, said, “There is a large j.j § acreage in Laurens county thaf needs kudzu for protection and soil j.j building. In addition to a corn ro- g tation, a field of kudzu can always j.j be used in late summer and early g fall when other pastures are low.” i It * * * 8 Oliver Poole and Cleophus Cleve-,8 land, colored cooperators of the Mt. ti Zion section, were assisted this past g ♦ # ♦ # ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ *# tt x s: 2C :: x * Pepsi Cola Refreshes !?
