Raleigh, Sept. 7,—A. total of
3.127 adults enrolled during the
last fiscal year In studies provid
ed by the State College Extension
Division, Director Edward W.
Ruggles announced today.
With tolaccn moving to market
and cotton being picked for gin
ning, North Carolina farmers are
devoting many of their few s-pare
moments to the seeding of winter
cover crops, says E. C. Blair, ex
tension agronomist of State CoJ-
iege.
Largely through the AAA
grant-of-aid program which en
ables growers to secure certain
seed without cost at planting
time, the acreage devoted to
these winter legumes and grasses
has increased steadily during the
past few years.
One of the main objectives in
growing winter cover crops is to
increase soil fertility, Blair ex
plained. To get the maximum
benefit in sol] improvement, the
whole crop should be turned un-
I der at such a time and in such
a manner as to allow the crop to
decay in time to do the most
good for the crop that follows.
However, Blair said, many cov
er crops may be grazed to a lim
ited extent, but grazing must be
discontinued in time for the crop
to mature for grain or seed. If
