'Great for Peed j and Fertility, Says N. t Win. terp, Extension Agronomirt. Cletnson College, April 25. Of the great variety of legume* which nitty be grown In South Carolina for feed, pasture, and aoH . Improvement, velvet beans probably head the Hat foe the following reasons: They make a fairly good growth on the poorest land In the South. They make a bigger growth than almoat any other legume. Becuuso of their growth they take a large amount of nitrogen from the air; and when plowed under or pan. turod off and all residue and manure incorporated with the soil, most of this nitrogen and lArge amounts of or gantlc matter are idded to the soil. Every Ion of grow h may add to the soil -from 25 to 30 pounds of expon Hive nitrogen. They will make more milk and meat per acre as a pasture next fall and winter than anything farmers can plant this spring. Last, but not least, when planted In corn they help to check that "Fodder pullln' disease,' " an antiquated and ex pensive method of making feed. Varieties. Probably the best varieties for South Carolina are the Early Speckled or Nihety Day, and the Osceola. The former matures in about 120 days and the latter In about 160 days. The Os ceola makes a larger growth of vine and foliage and larger pods than the Karly Speckled; but as It needs about 40 days longer period. It is not so well adapted* to the upper part of the state. The Early Epeckled nuvtures any where in South Carolina. Livestock usually eat the Early Speckled more readily than the Osceola, although they like both. Method of Planting. Velvet beans make more seed and better pasture if they have a trellis to run on? and corn !s the most profit able trellis. Most velvet bean grow ers plant then> in their corn, in alter nate rows with the corn, using corn rows 6 1-2 to 7 feet wide, if the length of season permits, it is a good plan to plant the beans from 20 to .??0 days after the corn, which permits the corn to make more growth before the beans begin to entwine around it, and results in the corn standing up better at harvest time. Another method adapted to the up per part of the state especially is to lay off all rows about four feet apart and plant every third row to velvet beans w+th corn in the two rows be tween. This is especially advisable where the beans are planted at the same time as the corn, as it takes longer for the vines to cover the corn and usually- leaves n bettor- opoaing between the two corn rows in which one may walk in gathering the corn. Amount of Seed Per Acre. Farmers are using from one to two pecks of seed per acre for planting in corn, planting from 12 to 24 inehe? apart in the drill, 'f planted alone in rows, about one bushel of seed per acre Is required, or about six pecks broadcast. Effect on Corn Crop. The first year the beans may re duce the yield of corn about two hush els (about the same reduction as pull ing fodder causes) ; but tbe next year following a crop of velvet beans the yield of corn is likely to be increased about 33 per cent, and cotton about 25 percent. On poor soil the increases are often more than this. Fertilization and Inoculation. <V| It is usual to fertilize the corn as you otherwise wouM and let the velvet beans use what the corn doesn't get. Some farmers increase the amount of their corn fertilizer for the benefit of the velvet beans. It is never neces sary. however, to increase the amount of ammonia in the fertilizer for vol* 1 vet beans. Velvet beans use the sam e inocula- | tion as cowpeas, peanuts, and lespe dnza or .Tapan clover, hence inocula tion is practically never necessary, an our soils are alrerdv inoculated for them Velvet Bean* ? Good Business. Velvet beans are the safest and surest summer legume for South Cam linn, and we are not going to be the prosperous state that Ood intended until every cornfield In South Carolina is wrapped up In velvet henns every year In most of our s^ils nitrogen is the limiting element in crop production ; Tt is also the most expensive p < rt of, the fertilizer that we huv N'earlvj thirty million dollars wjc spent in 1920 by the South Carolina farmers! for nitrogen : yet I' Ms estimated rhat > one square mile of the air contains j enough nitrogen to supply (he whole | world for fifty years for crop produc- 1 tion Th**re are 35.000 tons of nftro- ! gen in the air above every a< re juut ! waiting to be pulled down and made available for growing crops hv tulne velvet beans and other legumes in ih? ; rotation Humns the verv foundation of soil fertility I* also the crying n?ed of our soils Velvet, beans will help as much or more than anv o?her < rop in buUritnc up the supply of humus >n the Soil TV" marketing problem will he wM on the road to solution when grower?
