Need Winter Cro^i
To Build Up Soil
Making land produce heavily,
and at the same time keeping it
in good condition for future high
production, is a problem that
American farmers now face.
The answer to the problem, be
lieves G. T. Scott, State PMA di
rector and chairman of the State
Agricultural Mobilization commit
tee, is for farmers to make greater
use of winter cover crops? green
manures, and improved grass and
legume production. In this way,
he says, they will be protecting
their soil while also providing in
creased feed for livestock.
State goals for fall-seeded grains,
as announced by Scott, are 450,
000 acres of wheat, 525,000 acres
of oats, 50,000 acres of barley, and
16,000 acres of rye. All these acre
ages are on a planted basis except
rye, for which the goal is given on
a harvested basis.
“Maintenance in 1952 of the
1951 large acreages for many im
portant crops, including wheat,
and the expansion of feed produc
tion will again place heavy de
mands upon American farms and
their soil resources,” says Chair
man Scott.
“Each year this happens, it be
comes increasingly important that
concern be shown about the future
ability of our land to produce suf
ficiently to fill requirements of i
the growing population. It becomes
necessary, therefore, that , 1952
crop production be undertaken
with the widest possible use of
those practices which are knoton
to increase production while build
ing the soil resources for still more
intensive future use.
“There never has been a greater
need for more winter cover crops,
green manures, and improved grass
and legume production,- both be
cause of the need for protection
and building of the soil and be
cause of the need for increased
feeding of livestock,” Scott adds, j

Launching Crutad* for Freedom
Judy Hatula, of Detroit, prepares to release "pillow balloon" in the
nationwide Crusade for Freedom which seeks to enroll 25,000,000 new
American members and to raise $3,500,000 for additional radio stations
to penetrate Iron Curtain from Europe and Asia. The 1951 station
wagon is one of 49 which the Chevrolet Motor Division has provided
for Motorcades to visit principal cities in every state. Balloons used
in Crusade dramatize millions of "Winds of Freedom” messages sent
to people of Soviet satellite countries. The word “Wolnosc” on the
balloon is the Polish word meaning "Freedom.”

No Iron Curtain can stop it!
Support Radio Free Europe... give your
dollars to send the truth behind the

The bully boys are at it again in Europe.
But this time they’re Stalin’s not Hitler’s.
And this time, free Americans are doing
something about it before it’s too late.
WE’RE SENDING THE TRUTH...
OUR MOST DEADLY WEAPON
AGAINST COMMUNISM ... BEHIND
THE IRON CURTAIN. Hard-hitting,

striking behind the Iron Curtain with
deadly impact... sowing fear and confu

and collaborators. But an even better job
must be done. At least two more powerful
transmitters are needed to reach the cap

other satellite nations. Your dollars are
also needed to halt the spreadsof Com

time of the year to build perma
nent lawns because the young
grasses get a chance to become
well established before next sum
mer’s heat and dry weather. If
you are interested in building a
new lawn this fall, you should
write to the Agricultural Editor
at State college for Extension Cir
eular No. 292, “Carolina Lawns.”
“I should like to say a few
words here about winter lawns.
Most established lawns in this
state arc of Bermuda grass, crab
grass, dallis grass, blue grass or
a mixture of these and others.
All except blue grass will turn
brown at the first hard frost. With
the mild winters that we are
blessed with over most of the state,
if is very desirable to keep our
lawns green the year round. This
is made possible by sowing Ital
ian rye grass in the established
sod during late September or early
October.
If your permanent sod is heavy,
it may require 5 pounds of rye
grass seed per 1,000 square feet
of lawn. If the sod is not heavy,
2 to 3 pounds per 1,000 square feet
should be sufficient.
Italian rye grass is an annual
and will die out next June. By that
time, the permanent grasses should
take over again. Since blue grass
remains fairly green in winter, it
is not recommended that rye
grass be planted in a good blue
grass lawn. The spring growth of
rye grass is often very heavy and
may kill out the blue grass. In or
der to give a good dark green col
or to the rye grass it should be
fertilized before planting. About
2 pounds of a 5-10-5 or other good
garden fertilizer per 100 square
feet of lawn should give good re
sults.
