Planting Kudzu
Failure to prepare the right
kind of plant bed is often re.spon-
slhle for poor stands of kudzu,
according to P. W. Edwards.
Work Unit Conservationist, of the
Soil Conservation Service in the
Wilkes Work Unit, Wllkesboro,
North Carolina.
“To Insure a good survival,
kudzu should be planted on a
well-pKopared,' flrmr plant bed,”
he said. “Under no conditions
should the seedlings be planted
on bed.j where the soil Is in a
lno.se, spongy condition.”
“When preparing plant beds,
space rowf about 25 feet apart.
Open a deep furrow along each
vow and apply two tons of ma
nure. and 200 pounds of super
phosphate per acre in the fur
rows. Cover this furrow by plow
ing enough furrows to it to form
a broad flat lied. Harrow- or drag
these beds down until they are
approximately fiat.
“It is best to prepare the beds
in the fall or early winter so that

he prepared, it is important to
harrow-, roll or otherwise firm
the ground to produce the firm
seedbed so important to the suc
cessful establishment of kudzu.
“Plantings along large gullies
or roadbanks should be made in
well-prepared highly fertilized
row-s parallel to the gullies or
roadbanks. Rows should be far
enough from the gully to allow
cultivation of plants w-ith a plow.
In area.s where the preparation
of a plant bed is impossible, plant
in w-ell-prepared hills.

provides, among other things,
that, effective with returns for
the calendar year 1940, the per

purposes in the case of single per
sons shall be $800 instead of
$1,000 as heretofore, and In the
case of married perwns, living to

as heretofore. The Act further
provides that the gross and not
the net Income shall be the de

the liability for the filing of In
