WEEKS Tobacco Plant Beds: , ' As soon as the plants have been culled the tlant beds should be seeded to some -cover crops such as Crotalaria, Velvet beans-, or peas J This is especially important where tobacco plants will be grown an-' other year. This practice will add much needed organic matter to the soil and help control weeds and grasses. -V' Corn Fertilization:- ' In view of the shortage of Nitrite of Soda and - other nitrogen ferti lizers for sidedressing corn, grow ers may use mixed fertilizers as a substitute. It is recommended that a fertilizer be selected which car-. ries a high percent of nitrogen sncn as 7-7-7, or 6-8-6. It should be ap plied early In order to give the crop as much time as. possible to utilize the .fertilizer. Tobacco Plants: ' i 1 Growers who are short of tobac co plants may order from growers in states south of us. D..E. Lawton, County Agent, Ft Lauterdale, Fla., says he has a party who can tarn ish 1,000,000 plants of the Mam moth Gold, and Gold Dollar varie ties at $3.00 per thousand, FO.B. farm. Any grower1 who finds it nec essary to leave his farnr4o secure plants should be careful and avoid farms which have tobacco disease such as branville wilt and black shank. Temporary Grasug Crops: May is a good time to plant soy beans, millet, and Sudan Crass for temporary grazing. Such crops will cut down the cost of feed and are especially good for hogs. .
