Co., McCormick, S. C. Plant Winter Legumes To Improve The Soil And Get AGP Grants Clemson, Sept. 4.—There are 73,- 899 farmers in South Carolina co operating in the 1937 Agricultural Conservation Program, and to any of these who have not planted suf ficient soil-conserving crops to fully qualify for the maximum pay ment, R. W. Hamilton, state ad ministrative officer, AAA, suggests the planting of winter legumes this fall. “Such legumes as Austrian peas, vetches, and clovers may be plant ed to qualify for the maximum Class I payment and also for a soil building practice payment”, says Mr. Hamilton. “The planting of fall legumes of course is always an excellent farm practice, this being one of the most economical and profitable methods of conserving and increasing fer tility of the soil, the prevention of erosion, and the production of grazing. “The 1937 Agricultural Conserva tion Program encourages the planting of these winter legumes by setting up a payment to co operating farmers of $1.50 per acre for the seeding of legumes, provid ed, of course, the cooperator has built up a sufficient farm soil building allowance to permit of the payment for the practice. “During September and October”, Mr. Hamilton advises, “every farm er should try to plant at least some acreage to winter legumes, even though he will not receive any Government payment for so doing. It is a fine practice to sell the seed from a bale of cotton and invest .the money in fall legume seed, and thus build up the soil so that more profitable com and cotton yields can be obtained.” FINAL SETTLEMENT STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, ' County of McCormick.
