Seed Winter Legumes
Under AAA Program
Columbia. Aug. 29.—R. W.
Hamilton, state AAA adminis
trator, reminds farmers that
planting of winter legumes will
net them as much as $1.50 per
acre in benefit payments under
the 1938 Agricultural Adjustment
Administration program. (
To encourage soil-building
practices and to help defray the
cost of seeding, the AAA is paying
for the seeding of vetch, Austrian
winter peas, crimson clover, and
burr clover.
Maximum payments for which
each farm is eligible, Hamilton
explains, may be computed as the
sum of the following: (1) 70
cents per acre of cropland in ex
cess of one and one-half times
the cotton, flue-cured tobacco,
and. Burley tobacco acreage allot
ments for the farm, plus any
other special acreage allotments;
(2) $1.50 per acre for the aver
age acreage of land on which
commercial vegetables were grown
in 1936 and 193T (if grown only
in one year, one-half the acreage
in that year is used); (3) $2.00 per
acre of commercial orchards on
the farm Jan 1, 1938; and (4) 25
cents per acre of fenced noncrop
open pasture land in excess of
one-half the number of acres of
cropland.
To receive the maximum pay
ment computed in this way, the
farmer must fulfil the soil-build
ing practice goal for his farm.
£oil-building units making up this
goal are equal to two-thirds the
number of dollars maximum pay
ment for which the' farm is elgi-
ble. No payments will be made
above this maximum.
Each acre seeded to winter le
gumes according to AAA specifi
cations counts as one unit toward
the soil-building goal. Deductions
from the payments for failure to
reach this goal are made at a
rate of (1) $1.50 for each unit by
Which the goal Is not reached.
Specifications for the seeding
of winter legumes are: Vetch
must be seeded at an average rate
of 20 to 25 pounds per acre;
Austrian winter peas, 20 to 30
pounds per acre; clean crimson
clover, 20 pounds per acre; chaffy
crimson clover, 50 pounds per
acre; burr clover, 50 pounds per
acre. Inoculation is necessary,
Hamilton said, on land where
these legumes have not been
grown before.

Growing Crimson
Clover
(By B. E. G. Prichard, Assistant
Extension Agronomist)
»
Crimson clover, being a legume,
must be properly < inoculated to
give good results. Crimson clover
is inoculated by the same organ
ism as red clover, white clover,
alsike clover, and hop clover.
There are several methods of
securing proper inoculation, (1)
commercial cultures and (2) soil
inoculation. Commercial cultures
may be purchased from any re
liable seed dealer and must be
used as specified by the maker of
the seed cultures. Soil inoculation
is secured by getting soil from a
field where any of the crops
inoculated by the same organism
as crimson clover have grown
successfully. In securing the soil
for inoculation, remove one or
two inches of the topsoil and
gather for your inoculation pur
poses the next three or four inches
of topsoil.
One precaution that cannot be
neglected is to not allow the soil
used for inoculation purposes to
become dry and exposed to sun
light. The soil should be taken at
once to the field where it is to be
applied and either sown broad
cast and harrowed in or it may
be applied with an ordinary fer
tilizer distributor by running fur
rows from one to two feet apart
and covering with a sweep. Apply
three to four hundred pounds of
soil per acre.
Crimson clover seed can be pur
chased either in the chaff or as

Clemson, August 27.—“Because
of the increase in hog prices and
the prospect for an increased corn
crop, many farmers are directing
their attention to the hog crop,
and the results are the price of
feeder pigs has advanced. Indi
cations are that shipment of hogs
for market will be greatly in
creased, and the increase of in
come from hog sales will add con
siderably to the farm income.”
This statement from Major W.
J. Tiller, Chesterfield county
agent, sounds the keynote of new*
coming from many South Caro
lina counties that farmers are
finding another real “money
jrop” in hogs. Witness two other
typical reports:
“Around 1500 pigs are being fed
for market by adult growers, and
55 pigs were started on feed by
20 club boys, to be fitted for the
jhow and sale at the State Fair.’
says Joe Graham, Jasper count.,
agent.
“There are a great many hogs,
on feed over Florence county, and
we are working hard toward get
ting hogs on the early fall
market”, says Ed. Baskin, assis
tant agent. “The plan is to finish
pigs by hogging down early corn.’
Illustrating the money valut
and profits from hogs are these
figures from five county agents.
The Marion Farmers Marketing j
Association during the period
February 5 to July 2 marketed
3099 hogs for $43,456.14, County
Agent W. R. Wells reports. Tn«.
total marketing of hogs fron.
December 1 through July 2
brought $54,919.52.
Sales records for the first half
of this year show that Hampton
county farmers marketed 3,670
hogs, returning $38,946.70 to the
farmers, from the Ehrhardt Auc
tion Market. This is approximate
ly 50 per cent of the sales that
have been made from this county,
according to J. C. Anthony, coun
ty agent.

SPENCER GLASGOW, Rep.
ing Association, it was shown that
from September 1, 1937, to July 1,
38 cars of hogs were handled for
179 farmers, who received $46,-
728.15, says County Agent S. W.
Epps.
In July says County Agent L.
B. Massey, 424 hogs were handled
through the Orangeburg County
Association, the 95 shippers re
ceiving $7,758.41.
J. W. Talbert, assistant agent
in Sumter county, reports that F.
M. Johnson of Dalzell put $221 -in
a few feeders, fed them for two
weeks, using 60 bushels of corn
and $2.00 worth of tankage, and
sold them for $321.90. In this way
he sold his com for $1.35 per
bushel.
