Dormant crowns may bo dug and transplanted during the slack winter months —December, January and Feb ruary. K. A. Vaughn of Gnenville, S. C., dug 30,000 crowns from 2 Vi acre*, valued at £360.00. 2 1*> preparation for trans- “* planting, contour strips 25 fast apart should be plowed and harrowed to prepare a good seedbed. Manure and phosphate fertilizer should be disced in before transplanting kudzu crowns. To plant the crowns, open a deep contour furrow in the aeedbed atrip with the same tractor disc plow. 2 i Place crowns in the fur. *** row against the furrow wall. 3 Vi fact betyreen crowns. Tamp dirt firmly around roots Bo hold crown in place. Than plow a second and third fur. row with the disc plow to cover the kudzu buds with a 2-inch layer of loose soil. A Row crops may be grown ** and cultivated between the kudzu strips the first two years, or until kudzu stand is established. Few crops hold greater promise than IcwfatK It is equal to alfalfa as hay or pasture; it builds soil and protects it from erosion; it may be a key link in the growth of a great new livestock industry in the South. But the progress of kudzu is limited tqp the tedious operation of digging and cover ing the crowns by hand. By such method* it would take years to reach the Soil Con servation goal of ten million acres. Allis-Chalmers has been seeking a of expanding kudzu acreage through the use of tractor power. Now-— in cooperation with the Southeastern Region of the Soil Conservation Service — this method ha* been successfully developed and tested. In the interests of Southern Agri culture and the progress of our community, we urge you to try this method. Pictures at the left show the new tractor method—a new chapter of pro gress in the his tory of the South! m 1 /f- -K * . -— aUlS-CHfllMERS 9 AUTHORIZED SALES AND SERVICE J. L.
