I '* I Colur ham russ, pr 2, 1939 j gumes especially suitable for ; growing in this section. The chief" value of winter legumes lies in the fact that they gather nitrogen from the air; and j when turned under supply this j nitrogen and an enormous amount | of organic matter to the soil, j They may be turned under in | time to plant corn, peanuts, soy| beans, cowpeas. milletts, sorI ghums, and sometimes cotton. Corn, the crop that most often follows winter legumes, will under average conditions yield 20 to 25 bushels extra per acre on account of the legume. The effect of the legume then continues two or three years longer. Winter legumes may be sown between crop rows and covered with a cultivator, planted between crop rows with a corn planter or a one-horse drill, or may be drilled or broadcast on a prepared seed bed. Turn under the crop when it reaches a height of 12 inches or any time thereafter until it is in bloom. Before plowing the crop in, cut it up fine with a dies harrow. Turn the furrow slice on edge rather than all the way over. Always wait two weeks before planting another crop; otherwise, fermentation of the legume may cause a poor stand. INOCULATION To be effective, winter legumes must be inoculated with nitrogengathering bacteria. In the spring inoculated plants are easily recognized by their dark green color and vigorous growth, while plants without inoculation are pale green, yellow, or red, and never grow more than three or four inches high. Always inoculate seed before sowing on land not known to be inoculated. There are three methods of inoculation: 1. Mix the seed for one acre with .1(10 nniirtrie nf ? well inoculated field, and drill it in or broadcast and cover at once. This is the only sure method for sandy soils. 2. Moisten seed with molasses and water. Mix with an equal volume of inocfllated soil, sow. anil cover at once. 3. Use commercial inoculation according to instructions on container. Some farmers use a combination of the above methods. Applying stable manure to the field helps to make inoculation effective. Inoculation will live in the soil for four or five years without the legume.

There | should be a corresponding decrease in the fertilizer applied to j the crop that follows the legume, j This latter crop will make a bet- j ! ter yield than if the fertilizer ; were applied directly to it. Austrian winter peas, a comparatively new one in North Carolina, is a variety of the Canada j 1 field pea. It is a good crop for j soil improvement and in hay mixtures except on very sandy soils. | It may be turned under about ten days earlier than hairy vetch, i and is easier to inoculate. On the i other hand, it winterkills more I easily than vetch and is more subject to root-knot and bacterial blight. Whether to use hairy I vetch or Austrian winter peas depends largely on which costs ; less per acre to seed, j This crop should be sown beI tv/ken September I and October j 15, in the sariie way as vetch, at the rate of 30 pounds per acre. Hairy vetch is easy to grow j on practically any soil that is inoculated, is hardy, and may be sown during September or October (the earlier the better). Sow 20 pounds of seed per acre, and cover 2 or 3 inches deep. Hairy vetch contains more nitrogen per pound than any other legume grown in North Corolina, [ which makes it one of our best soil builders. Do not sow a mix; ture of vetch and rye for turn- j ing under, because the rye reaches the proper stage for turn- j ing at least a month before the | vetch. Use oats or wheat if a mixture is wanted. Hairy vetch makes good hay in1 | combination with the small grains, ] increasing both the yield and the : I protein content of the hay. It is a profitable seed crop, 1 when 5 pounds per acre are i sown with wheat or oats. The 1 vetch and grain are cut and : threshed, after which the seed are separated with a spiral separator. Yields of 150 pounds of vetch ' seed per acre have been obtained ' in this way, with little or no de- , crease in the grain yield. Hairy vetch grows much better in North Carolina than HungarI ian, Monantha, common, Augusta, : purple, and other varieties. Crimson clover is adapted to medium to heavy soils, rather than to light soils. One reason for this is that the' seed are small and should be covered less than an inch deep. On sandy soils this means that the seed may sprout and die before the roots get to a ijvr.Ufi i n ...

The latter met hoi produces only unhulled seed. Crimson clover is often used fo hay. The hay is good if cut early but dangerous to livestock if cu later than full bloom. SMALL GRAINS The small grains are planted ii the fall and mature for hay ii May and for grain in June. Thi seed bed is made by discing o: plowing four inches deep, and har rowing. Deep plowing may causi the crop to freeze out. The seec should be sown with a grain drill if possible; otherwise, broadcas and harrowed in. The crop is ready for hay a: soon as the grains reach the mill stage, and should be cut for grail when the heads and stalks havi turned yellow and the grain i: well dried out. Wheat does well in all parts o the state. The best soils for it an sandy loams, loams and cla; loams. It should never be plantei on poorly drained land. Sow Octo ber 25 to November 15 in thi coastal plain. A good rule is t< sow immediately after the firs killing frost. Use 5 to 6 pecks of seed pel acre, and treat with ceresan oi copper carbonate to prevent smut Good varieties are Red Hart an< urple Straw for the eastern hal: of the state.

This crop is less hardy than - wheat and should be sown 10 days i earlier. Treat the seed with cerei san, which is a partial remedy i for barley smut. Use 2 bushels i per acre of North Carolina Beardl ed or Tennessee No. 6, which is J beardless. Barley is a good substitute for r corn, having 80 of corn's feed ', value per bushel. Yields run from t 25 to 50 bushels per acre under favorable conditions. The hay of the beardless variety is first-class i in every way. i Oats will grow in all parts of e the state, on almost any soil that r will grow corn. This crop was - formerly very subject to cold ine jury, but the new varieties, such 1 as Fulgrain, 32-1, 33-47, and Lee I, are practically as hardy as wheat, t All except the last are also smutproof. s Oats should be sown in October, < February, or March. The October i sowing gives the best results. i The rate should be 2 to 1xk bushs els per acre. Oat hay is excellent in quality f and usually yields from 1 to 2 e tons per acre. Grain yields run f from 25 to 50 (or more) bushels 1 per acre, but the grain is light - in weight. The grain is valuable e for feeding horses and mules, catJ tie, and poultry. t Rye will grow on practically all North Carolina soils, under all r conditions. It will also stand more r cold than other grain crops. Ab:. ruzzi is the best variety. 1 Rye is the best poor-land grain f crop and yields from fs to 15 bush els per acre.

HAY MIXTURE Mixtures of small grains and winter legumes make bigger yields of hay than any single crop; and the hay is better balanced in nutrients and more palatable. For best results sow hay mixture in September on good land, and fertilize as recommended for small grains. The mixture is ready to cut when most of the grain is in the milk or dough stage, and the legumes in full bloom. Mixtures will stand a higher total rate of seeding than j will a single crop, which partly: i accounts for the high yield of hay. Some good hay mixtures fol-1 low; 1.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the warehousemen of the S. C. Tobacco Belt Association at their annual meeting, duly assembled, with the reliable information they have before them, recommend only tied and graded tobacco be offered in any of the warehouses in the S.

B A farm in the Cherry Grove B section, near the home of EJddie fll Worley. was full of tobacco that I I apparently was ripening too early.
