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 Car Tunes.By Goodwill Motor Co.

C. 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.
