Organic Matter
» ■
By O. E. VanDEMAN
Organic matter makes the soil
more fertile and improves m its
tilth or mellowness. While not a
plant food, organic matter decays
and disappears through natural
■oil processes, and it must be
constantly replaced through the
return of clover, manure, straw
and stalks. Lack of org%pic mat-'
ter will hold down yields even
though yon apply all the lime
stone, phosphate, and potash
Meded.
Soils that are low in org^pic
matter are tough and heavy; they
pack and run together and are
cloddy when broken up. Because
of their poor tilth, such soils are
not able to take up ^nd store wat
er for use by crops during dry
spells. They also drain slowly and
erode more easily than soils that
are well supplied^ with organic
matter. Tou can * supply organic
•
matter by growing legumes and
returning manure, straw, and
cornstalks at the land.
In orchards growing a good
permanent coyer crop such as
ladlno clover, will help to In
dino clover can be seeded In Au
crease the organic matter. La
gust or early next spring. Lime
and phosphate should be worked
Into the soil before the clover la
seeded. Be sure to Inoculate the!
seed.

Social Seevrity
Veterans Benefits
Social Security protection was
siren to veterans of this war by
legislation which the President
signed on August 10, 1946.
If a veteran served 90 days or
more during the war, and was
honorably discharged, he is con
orably discharged, he is consid
sldered to be "fully insured'' und
er the Social Security Act/ if he
lies within three years after his
discharge.
' Payments will be calculated as
though' the veteran had an aver
age monthly wage of 1180. This
actually works out to something
over $56 a month If the veteran
leaves a widow and two children.
This applies to all veterans
who qualify, even If they have
never worked under social secur
ity. There is one exception. Since
this special payment is based on
military service, no payment will
be made under this new part of
the Soelal Security Act if the vet
eran'# dependents get a veteran's
pension from the Veterans Ad
ministration, since snch pay- g
mente are also based on military
service.
This is the fifth in a aeries of
articles on "Tour Social Secur
ity." '
