C.. Miss Eloise Corley, Warrenville, Mr. J. P. Sullivan, Walhalla, Miss Marian Harmon, Lyons We expect to plant kudzu crowns during March and April”, Says Mr. C. S. Moss, Assistant Soil Conservationist, “and experience has shown that the best stands cx kudzu have been obtained wherj the plants were set on well settled beds. We hope that the farmers who are to receive kudzu from the Soil Conservation Service will get the land prepared at least by the middle of January”. Mr. Moss suggests the following means of securing a good land preparation: 1. Plow deep furrows 25 ft. apart on the level with any suitable plow. If land is so cut up by small gullies that it is not practicable to run rows on the level, then place them to the best advantage. 2. Apply 250 to 300 pounds of Superphosphate and available- compost in the open furrow. If it is not convenient to put the acid he land at this time, it can b2 dressed in the early spring- 3. Bed on acid and compost witli 6 to 10 rounds with a turn plow. The bed, when finished, should be at least 10 ft. wide and th;* beds (or rows) 25 ft. apart in the field. About 500 crowns can thus be planted to the acre. “It is very necessary to cultivate the kudzu during the first grow ing season”, Mr. Moss says. “The wide spacing of the kudzu rows will give ample room for some other row crop, such as corn, to be grown between the kudzu”. Due to the war, our supply of kudzu crowns has been slightly curtailed. Therefore, we plan tj deliver the plants to the farmers who have their land prepared first. Please advise Mr. Moss when your land has been prepared. and all scrap metal. A group of boys rallying to the call for vol unteer defense workers will come to your home Saturday morning to collect these articles. Never was the old saying more appro priate “Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of their country”. Do your^part! America must win complete victory!
