Vetch Beats Clover'
" A* Cover Crop
As a winter jrrSwing, soil improv
ing, cover crip, vetch was su
perior -to crirftson clover In a- demon
stration conducted in eastern Caro
lina this season by W. P. Meadows
of Trenton. Jonet County.
The two "crops ww e planted side bv
s>de last faK with part ot the field
lelt bare as a check plot. The rate
ol seeding was 29 pounds an acre (or
each crop and a good stand was se
cured in both cases. ' -
"Last Mav. when I examined ;the'
growth of the two crons, the vetch had
;? spread Over the land t6 an average
*Tength of two feet' and the crinlson
clovcr was standing about -La, .inches'
high," savs K. C. Blair, extension ag
ronomist at State C ill?:? "Both crops
?had the ground' welrynvered in their
respective areas. ths?i*h'~the crimson
rioter made the bast show, Mr.
Meadows tcrrned the crops under-on
May 6 and nlanted' corn over the en
tire field a lew- days later. -He fer-i
1 tilized his corn with"200 pounds of an
8-3-3 mixture and used no nitrogen j
side application."
,Mr. Blair says that it was not long
before the*corn began to show the!
elTects of the turned under legumes. |
Where the vetch and crimson clover
h?d been plowed in, the corn was
greener In color, the height of the
stalks viae greater, and. later, the
crop was ijetter earfd
The corn crop was harvested on
October 30. That " from'' each shock
was shucked, and weighed and gave
the following results: Where no cover
rrop was plowed ui^drr only 17-1 bu
shels an acre was produced; where
the crimson clover had been grown
and turned under J5.8 bushels was pro
duced. and where the vetch was
turned under 38 9 bushels an acre wad
produced. The crimson ' clover In
creased the yield loo per cent and
the vetcjj did slightly better' than
that. i \
However. Mr. Blair points qui that
this slight difference .might b" due to
the stand, by minor variations In the
fertility of the soil or other slight
differences. Both vetch and crimsotf
elover are excellent soil improvers in
eastern Carolina as . thU demonstra
tion shows.

Farm Work Animals
Are (letting Old,
Horses and mules used jin the
farmi' of North Carolina are getting
old and few colts are being grown to
replace them.
On January 1, 1925. there were408,
411 horses and mulea on the farms of
tijf State t and the figures (VST 1928
show'that there has Been little change!
in this number. The statistics further
dhow that the State la Importing about
5,000 work animals annually. Estlmat-J
ing that this imported stock costs <200
a head, farmers of the State are send
ing .out one million dollars each year
for' replacement? This la' a serious
and constant drain upon local agricul
ture and could be largely avoided by
-raising?a-few colts oiu the farm.-..
_ The piedmont section is ideally
suited-tor this purpose, say agricultur
al workers at State College ' The an
imals consume phlfly those crop? which.|
are not readily sold for cash and with
the abundance of forage crops' and
the good pastures of the. piedmont
region, colts could be grown - here
economically.
The farmer who raises his own
bolts, handles them properly and pro
vides plenty of roughage on his own
place win get his powet very econo
mically. About the only cash outlay in
such a case Is the money required for
harness find shoeing - Harness may be
cbtalned for tl2 a pair and shgeing
costs little. Those fete. who are now
racing their own colts' find that much
of the forage and pasture consumed
would otherwise be unused and say
that few farms ara _so heavily stocked
with dairy cattle, beef cattle or sheep
that there is not grazing available for
colts. .
However, no one who is not pro
vided with ample pasture should at
tempt to grow colts, say the livestock
folks. This Is essential In keeping the
cost of producing work animals at a
low figure, and also keep the young
animals In prime health and wgoe
