In keeping with the well-known and j established policy of the Kxtension [Service it Is now coming forth in u special effort to induce the farmers of the - country to look more to the planting of legumes for soil building, and with the .strong tendeucy to go jbaek to aafe farming by planting not j more than our third of their cultlvnt j ed lands to cotton there should be no j trouble for one to fiud land, time and fdabor for handling these other neces isary crops. This is doubtless one of j the best years which wv have ever jhad or that we are likely to ever have j to start, a soil building program. Such i leguminous crops as velvet beaus, cow peas, and soy beans will , improve the soils because they have certain bac teria on their roots which can take nitrogen from the air (something which no plant can do alone) and fix it iu the nodules ou the roots in such form that it is available for the growth i of crops. The amount of nitrogen which a I leguminous crop will, add to the soil , depends upon the fertility of the soil ' and the size of the crop grown. Ordi I narlly a good crop of velvet beans. I 1 cow peas, or soy beans will add from I < w i i.M> pounds of nitrogen if the en* tin- crop is turned under. This is as j much nitrogen ;is \\e Mould got by ap p!\ ing to POO pounds of nitrate of j soda. and in ^ddltlon to the nitrogen <>ne adds organic matter which is so greatly nee<led in tin* vast majority of tin- soils of this section Thes?? crops can !*> grown as com pant. >n crops with corn or they can be >o\\ 11 separately and turned under. Tin- important thing is to turn under tins vc.ir as inu< h a~ possible of these legumes 1; will reduce the fertili zer bill next year. ?John W. Sanders f Vainly Agent.
