By J. B. SNU>ES,
Goonty Agent
After looking over hundreds ol
acres of (bottom land which were
covered with mulch and sand dur
ing the 1940 flood, I saw a defi
nite need of seeding this land to
some crop which would build it
up again.
Since Crotolaria is recommend
ed especially for sandy soils, I
contacted Mr. A. X. Wyatt of
North Wilkesboro route one. In
regard to carrying out a Croto-
laria demonstration on some of
made a growth of approximately
five feet. Crotolaria is not rec
ommended for feed at all, but is
a legume and is definitely recom
mended for a land improver. Mr.
Wyatt turned this Crotolaria un
der in the fall, seeded the same
land to Austrian Winter Peas,
■which be is turning and ^d-
ing back to Crotolaria. By fol
lowing such a practice for a few
years , I am sure that this land
will be built up In a few years to
a state of cultivation, to where it
will produce a good itoija .or toy
