Small Supply Seed
For Winter Legumes
Because weather conditions
have barred a plentiful supply of
w-inter legume seed this year, it
is necessu.y to make Available
supplies go as far as possible,
says E. C. Blair, extension agron
omist of N. C. State- College.
This may be rccomplished -by
reducing the rate of seeding p^r
acre, but to do this the best pos
sible methuus of seed bed prep
aration and planting must be
followed.
Seeding legumes in September
has two advantages. First, they
do a better joib of covering the
land during the winter; and sec
ond, they are ready to turn un
der at least .’10 days earlier next
spring than if planted later.
Blair pointed out that a good
seed bed should he prepared by
shallow plowing or adequate disc
ing. followed by harrowing and
discing until the soil is thorough
ly pulverized. Soils that have not
been limed in the past four or
five years should receive an ap
plication of 1.200 to 2.000
pounds of ground lime.stone per
acre before the 1-d.st harrowing.
Then the crop should be ferti
lized w-ith 200 pounds of Ifi or
20 per cent superphosphate and
50 pound.s of nuirirte of potash
fter acre. This will cause the win
ter le.eume to make a much bet
ter growth and will, in turn,
bring about a better yield of the
following c-rep.
One of the best w-ay, of con
serving seed, the State College
specialist explained, is through
the use of a grain drill. Fifteen
pounds of hairy vetch and 20
pounds of Austri; n winter peas
per acre will suffice -where the
seed are planted with drills.
Crimson- clover will give excellent
results at 15 pounds per acre if
the drill is equipped with a spe
cial attachment.
