VELVET BEANS
" ? '
TM lit ?t and $ure?t 8ummtr Legume
fer South Carolina? '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,
