? i M^CORMTCK MESSENGER, McCOKMICK. SOI H CAROLINA Thursday, April 9, 1936 Farmers Can Protect Soil With Lespedeza Lespedeza ir rotation or as a complete cover has been proven a very valuable crop for controll ing erosion, according to recent trials conducted by the South Caro lina Experiment Station and the Soil Conservation Service. Land planted to cotton in these experiments lost, as a result of 3.85 inches of rain, 31,400 pounds of soil per acre. Land covered with lespedeza lost only 300 pounds, reports Ernest Carnes, state co ordinator of the Soil Conservation Service. Comparison of the amount of rainfall lost by run-off also shows a wide variation. Cotton land los- 65,400 gallons per acre while only 15,800 gallons ran off an acre of land in lespedeza. A plot in corn lost 50,400 gallons of rainfall and 17,400 pounds of soil per acre. All experiments were made on Cecil clay loam and Cecil sandy loam. “While it would not be practical for farmers depending on cotton and corn for an income to plant only lespedeza”, says Mr. Carnes, “these experiments conclusively show a definite need of legumes in crop rotations. “Studies made in crop rotations indicate that cotton following les pedeza yielded 939 pounds of seed cotton per acre, against 538 pounds where cotton followed cotton; an increase of 61 per cent. In every instance larger bolls were secured from cotton following lespedeza.” Many farmers on the project areas of the Soil Conservation Service are now growing lespedeza and harvesting their own seed. insurance Fire Insurance And All Ollier Kinds of Insurance Ex- i cept Life.
