Cover Crops Essential. |
With the present high prices of ferti
liser* no progressive farmer can afford
to overlook afiy matter which will help
him to solve hi* fertilizer problems and
the winter cover crop 1m of untold value
in its rapacity on Southbern farms
today. They protect the land from
wasftlpg, prevent los* of plant food by
leaching, furnish grazing for live-stock
during the winter, aud in tbe spring
muy, he plowed under to the great bene
fit of the soil or may be left for har
vest for bay, grain or seeds. CSreen
crops In the fields also make it uncom
fortable for the boll weevil to spend the
winter there.
Probably the most satisfactory cover
crop for this section is rye. Vetch sown
with oats. comes In a* l?elng well worth
a trial as does also burr clover.
The problem of the soil must be look
ed after. Kxhaustlve methods of farm
Ing improve the land and make It un
productive in the years that follow. We
must put hack to the soil as \v?lr as
take , a way from It.
