Many Fields In
Chowan Are Green
In Winter Months
Health Condition Attri
buted to Increased
Fertility
There are many green fields in
Chowan County this winter, according
to R. C. Jordan, soil conservationist.
Many of these fields are green be
cause farmers cooperating with the
Albemarle Soil Conservation District
are conscious of the need of conserv
ing and increasing the fertility of
their soils. They have planted their
fields to the various kinds of winter
growing soil improving crops. Some
farmers prefer to use Austrian win
ter peas, while others prefer to use
either crimson clover or hairy vetch.
“Regardless of the choice,” says
Mr. Jordan, “they are all growing
with rapidity this warm winter sea
son and they are making green can
opies of much of Chowan County’s
land. Land fertility is being increas
ed by their use.”
Carter Bright White of the Cen
ter Hill community developed a soil
conservation farm plan on his farm
in 1944, with the assistance of the
Chowan Soil Conservationist, Mr.
Jordan. Since then Carter Bright
has been growing wheat and vetch
as a winter cover crop. He feels that
this small grain and vetch combina
tion is particularly adapted to his
Norfolk sand soils. Carter says “Con
sidering what it does for my sandy
land, I had rather have it planted one
year to the wheat and vetch than to
have it planted to three years of
Austrian peas.” This- conclusion is
based on tests that he has made.
During the winter of 1948-49 Car
ter planted five of these Norfolk sand
acres of his to winter cover crops—
one-half to wheat and vetch seeded
together and one-half oto Austrian
winter peas. All of the winter
growth was turned under as a green
manure crop and peanuts were plant- I
ed on the whole of the five-acre
tract. He harvested 48 bags of pea
nuts from the 2%-acre* that were in
Austrian winter peas and 59'bags of
peanuts from the 2 Vfe acres that were
in the wheat-vetch combination.
Mr. Bright says that in addition to
the increased yields from the wheat
and vetch he also gets much more
hog grazing from it during the win
ter months.
J. 'L. Wiggins, another SCS cooper
ator of -the same community, uses
vetch as a soil improving crop in his
tobacco-peanut rotation. By sowing
vetch following tobacco, he takes ad
vantage of a long growing season to
obtain good tonnage of green manure
crops to turn for his peanuts. Mr.
Wiggins says that he, too, likes vetch
best for deep sandy soils.
A number of other Chowan farm
ers are using vetch for their soil im
proving -winter cover crop. Like
Mr. White and Mr. Wiggins, they are
getting good results with it, especial
ly on the sandy and deep sandy soils,
according to Mr. Jordan.
