Other Crops To Take The Place Of Cotton Lands Should Not Lie Idle Food, Forage, Grain And Soil Building Crops Should Take Cotton’s Place By P. H. Kime, Plant Breeder, North Carolina Experiment Station The cotton acreage reduction plan recommends that those acres on which the cotton has been de stroyed not be left idle during the remainder of the summer but that such acres be planted to other crops in order to utilize thef erti lizer in the soil, to furnish food and feed crops needed on the farm and to build up the soil. Crops which meet the approval of the acreage reduction plan are food crops for the farm families forage and grain crops for feeding the farm livestock, and soil build ing crops. The choice of the crop to be grown will depend on the needs of the individual farm, the cost of the planting seed, the labor requirements for growing the dif ferent crops, the time of planting and soil adaptation. Nearly all of farms in the cotton producing area need to grow' more legumes for soil improvement. A large percentage of the farms could use more hay and grain for feeding the work stock, cow's and hogs. The cost of seeding these re placement crops should be rela tively low. The seed will cost from one to two dollars per acre depending on the crop to be growm, and the method and rate of seeding. Labor should not exceed 5 0 cents per acre since the land is in a good state of cultivation. Crops best adapted for planting at this time of the year are cow' peas, soybeans, Sudan grass, millet, corn and vegetables. Legumes should receive first consideration in this program as they have a wide variety of uses and also benefit the soil. Cow'peas may be used for hu man consumption in both summer and w'inter, make excellent hay, mav be pastured and at the same time enrich the soil, and cowpea seed are always in demand for planting purposes. Cowpeas may be planted up to July 15 th but should be gotten in as early as pos sible. For seed purposes they should be planted in rows at the rate of 20 to 30 pounds per acre. The best varieties are Groi, Brab ham, Whipporwill, Iron and Vic tor. Clay, Black and Blackeye may also be grown. On wilt infested soils only the Iron, Brabham and Victor varieties should be planted. These three varieties are also resist ant to root knot. Soybeans also have a wide va riety of uses. The seed may be grown for planting purposes. There is always a good market for Otooton, Laredo, Biloxi, Virginia and Herman seed for planting. The seed of the yellow seeded varieties may be used for oil or exported. The hay is of very high quality, and most farms could use larger amounts to advantage. Soybean pasture supplemented with corn may be used to produce a cheap supply of pork for home consump tion, and when utilized in this way the soil is greatly benefited. Soy beans may be planted up to July 10 or 15 but should be planted earlier if possible. For seed pur poses plant in rows and' cultivate. iSTRANGE KILLING AIRED 1 Griffith Welch, 15, of Hi^'.t j Point, after entering a plea of ! manslaughter, went on the stand |in Guilford county Superior court 1 last week and told how he dropped the body of Bobbie Sechrest, five, into a sewer manhole after Bobby j had been hurt in a fall from I Welch’s bicycle.
