It to, therefore with pleasure that I am conveying to my readers the following article J from Extension Service . Review, United States Department of Agri culture, August, 1985" Issue. J ;'r "Fourteen years of consistent effort on s. winter legume program In Alabama have resulted in- the planting of 29,040,602 pounds of seed and have added $28,256,930 to farms in the form of Increased crop yields. '?r-&, ""4 " "Soil buUdlng- by use of winter legumes offers the bestmeahs for Alabama farmers to achieve" the live-at-home program and the low er the cost of cotton production", declares J. C. Lowery, Alabama agronomy specialist, who has been working on this matter of winter legumes for more than 14 years'. The records clearly show the re sult. A total of 6.649,89 pounds of winter legume seed was used in Al- aba ma In 1934, according to reports of county agents. This to 600,000 pounds more than was used In 1933 despite the big Increase In price or seed. Had seed been available at a fair prjee, probably 12 to IS million pounds would have been used. Two limiting factors through the years have been the high price of seed and the limited supply. Millions of Pounds of See Although the early educated pro gram did bear fruit,: the first real 1 progress was made when purcbas-, ing agencies sponsored, by the Ala- bama -Farm . Bureau " Federation started buying seed cooperatively In 1931. In 1920, 10,470 pounds was used: In 1921, 35,508; In 1922, 19, 466; In 1923, 315,765, and in 1934, 505,905 pounds of seed was bought. This consistent increase shows the results of cooperative purchasing. The biggest cooperative job ever ac compltohed In the buying of winter legume seed was done at a State wide meeting of farm leaders in Montgomery last May, when an or- 7C3 was already in their hands and that they could handle what Jftr tie remained. . "Now let us see what has hap pened in this SlouxOlty-Wynot territory. First of all the grain rate by rail to Sioux City and the East waa three cents per 100 from the farthest, point on the line. Now the rate Is 10 cents a bushel to Sioux City. Coal was laid down In the farthest town for 20 cents a ton, whlleat pre- , sent trucks are offering to de liver coal to close-in points at two dollars a ton. Farm values have depreciated from SO per .cent to IS per cent .Some farm er are 60 miles from a railroad. Homes in the towns erected at a cost of 14,000 are .begging for buyers at. levels as low as $500 and there are no buyers. Lastly, the Omaha road paid 28,0OO each year in taxes and this sum has been shifted over to the re maining taxpayers. - ' ' . "This Is not a nice picture, yet If the rural merchants and the rural community do not a waken, It Is a scene that Is go ing to be. enacted In scores of towns that are today thriving trading points." der for more than 3 million pounds nmhl4im ftf tL limlted seed j supply baa been met in two ways by the cooperative purcnase ox seea in Oregon and the home production of seed. Out of a conference bet ween Director Duncan,, of Alaba ma, and former Director Maris, of Oregon, a number of years ago grew the practice of buying large Quantities of Oregon seed. Repre sentatives go from Alabama to Oregon to buy the seed pracucaiiy every season. The Oregon extension agronomist has spent some 1 time studying the legume prdgram In Alabama so that the Oregon, grow ers may better meet their needs. Tests of new strains are carried on by the Alabama-Experiment, Staged, by cotton committeemen);, after tion. At thjt present time two pro mlslng new strains. can, oe grown in- large (Ai an titles uV Oregon and sold at a very moderate price. . Produce Seed At Home ' ' Home production of seed is being promoted In a number , of areas, larrelv as a trial proposition. A new strain of Austrian Winter peas developed at the Alabama Exper- bushels of corn per acre by wing iment Station has been distributed winter legumes And lespedeza. Sta over a considerable area, and 128,- jte demonstration farms averaging 450 pounds of Austrian pea seed was saved last season, Saving vetch seed to not usually considered practical, yet a consid erable number of -farmers in Lau derdale, Madison; and Blount Cou nties are now saving seed of this crop. As hlgb as 200 acres on some Madison County farms have been planted w - hhome-grown ; hairy vetch seed. , Grimson clover to the most pro mising winter legume for seed sav ing in Alabama. Of 158,715 pounds used in 1934, about 120,000 pounds was home-grown seed. Blue-prints 'for the construction of strippers j and Instructions for harvesting are .furnished all crimson clover pro- ducers. The educational plan for the winter-legume program-has been , re vised from time to. time to meet changing conditions.

County Agents were i given help with News articles exhibits, radio talks, and printed bulletins. Meetings at the sub-station and ex periment fields offered a good op portunity for teaching the proper use of legumes and were widely used. .. t . , Legume Acres and Money Makers ' The value of - these winter legu mes to' Alabama farms to difficult to estimate. Stated in one way, the quantity of lugumes grown last year should add nltrogent worth $1,702,240 at current prices. If fol lowed by corn, the crop should be Increased about ' 0,300,000 bushels, worth' more than $4,000,000, ; ac cording to the average of past years. Since 1918, Alabama has used 29,040,602. pounds of winter legume seed, according to available records It Is estimated on the ba sis f conservative returns that this ouantltv of winter lesrumes has ad ded $26,256,930 to Alabama farms in the form of increased crop yteias ; jargely com.

Members of a one-variety community In Madison County are averaging approximate- lv a bale per acre and 25 to 40 8 to 12 bushels per acre before the beginning of the legume program are now averaging 30 to 60 bushels per acre Jn one instance, corn In 1934 without legumes averaged 4 bushels per acre; on adjoining land after legumes the yield was 58 bu shels per acre. The possibilities In winter legu mes are growing more evident to Alabama, farmers every year, and as lowering production costs Is the most important problem in the pro duction of field crops, winter leg umes will occupy an important place in the extension program." ,;. -i'..i,.'V-V o .1 ' Vvi"v ;t.
