THE VALjTE IF GREEN IYL The necessity i! Organic Kitter In the Sol! sod Dow to Ob tain It. But should not this rye and clover and peas be fed to cattle and the manure put on the land rather than plow them under green? By no means 1 till your land can spare them. Always feed the hungrier creature first If the land is more in need of fertility than the cattle of forage, feed the land first and continue to feed it until it Rains sufficient strength to produce a forage crop for the cattle, then market your forage and. feed through live stock. But is green rye worth any thing as manure before feeding it to stock? 1 am going to let vou answer the question for your self. Below you will find a table showing the manurial value of green rye as compared with that of fresh cow and horse manure Examine this table carefully be cause there is a great deal in it. POUNDS PER TON. Nitr'g'n Phos. Potash Green rye 10 6 6. 14.2 Cow Manare 7.6 16 7.3 Horse Manure 8 7 19 7.8 The above table sepresents an average of a large number of analyses of both rye and the ma nures The analysis of the ma nures in the above table refers only to the solid excrement and does not have reference to the liquid manure which on ninety farms out of a hundred goes to a waste. You may be surprised to note that a ton of green rye is worth more as a fertilizer than a ton of fresh horse or cow manure. You may consider it from every point view. The rye has nearly a third more nitrogen per ton nearly three times as much phos phate, and twice as much potash, as either of these manures. You can, therefore, see the impor tance of the use of green rye as a manure for any crop you wish to grow. we recommend tne use of rye preceding a corn crop in case the growth of rye is rather large, The rye crop is hard to handle as a green manure preceding the cotton crop unless the rye is sown early in the fall and allowed to make a good growth during the fall and early winter and plowed under a month before the cotton is to be planted. Treated in thiB way, there should be no trouble in the use of rye as a green ma nure preceding cotton. It will be only necessary to roll tne rye and disc it two or. tnree times thus cutting it to small bits, plow it under, six or eight inches deep, and disc the land once or twice more in order to thorough ly incorporate it with the soil. After this the cotton land may be prepared in the usual wry. An acre of rye that Will make one ton of cured rye hay will, if plowed under, add to the soil about 45 lbs. of valuable nitro gen :201bs. of valuable phosphoric acid; and 56 lbs. of valuable pot ash. Now, do not get the idea that rye is a legume and collecs nitrogen from the air because such is not the case, but the growing rye does build into itss tissues large amounts of nitro gen already in the soil which would be lost by leeching during the fall, winter, and spring months and hence, rye is seen to be a real conservator of nitrogen. The phosphate and potash are not really added to the soil but the rye builds these elements al so into its tissues and conserves them against loss by leeching in the form of a nitrate. To get this much nitrogen you will have to use about 6 tons of horse manure, or 7 tons of cow manure or one ton of 8 2 2 com mercial fertilizer, in order to get this amount of phosphate you would have to use about 10 tonB of horse or about 13 tons of cow manure. To get this amount of valuable potash you would havs to use about 7-$ tons of either horse or cow manure. The chief advanatage of stable manure over green manuring crops lies in its being decomposed and ready for use and in the large number of bacteria it car ries into the soil with it. This advantage is only temporary, however, because as soon as the green manuring crops break down, they are found quite as advantageous to plant growth as the Btable or barnyard manure and when plowed in while green and succulent, the processes of decaying go on quite rapidly. In our further discussion f this subject we will frequently have occasion to compare green manure with stable manure. This comparison will not be made with a view to discourage the use of stable manure which every one knows to be the standard of perfection in fertilizer but we will make comparison in order to bring out the value of green ma nure more prominently than it has been brought out heretofore. Perhaps the greatest draw back to the use of any green ma nuring crop is the old idea that land may be "soured" thereby and rendered infertile for a num ber of years. Next week we hope to dispose of this erroneous theo ry by explaining what really happens when a large crop of vegetable matter is turned into the soil in the ordinary manner. J. L. Burgess, N. C. Department of Agricul ture. George Hems. Mr. S. P. Britte of Severn was a visitor in town Sunday. Miss Mayme Lassiter returned home last week after spending some time in Halifax visiting relatives.
