BROWN ON SOIL BUILDING, THE COUNTY OFFERS GOOD ADVICE TO SrOKES FARM-j ERS—i.WTTED TO CON VAC i ' i COUNTY OFFICE. I Stokes farmers have until Oc tober 31 to carry out Soil Build ing Practices under the 193;) Agricultural Conservation Pro gram. Compliance reports oi 'most farms show that all oi the Soil Building Units have not been 'carried out in order for the larm ier to qualify tor a full payment, jit is the desire of this oince u 'urge "every farmer to Use eveiy 'effort possible in earning the rnaxir unt payment. Each unit that a farmer fails to carry out mearis the loss of $1.50 from the farm payment. At this time | farmers should give attention to j three main Soil Building Prac- trees that are applicable at this j | time oi year. These are the uses |of liue and triple super-phc.s :phate aaJ the seeding of v.iiitci j legunii 3. Crimson clover is so I j ihigh in price that Austrian Win i 1 Itc r Peas and Hairy Wint.i Vclc!: is recommended where winter : legur.iiK aic to be seeded. T've I proper i lie of seeding per acre jfor winter legumes is as folio .vs - | Crimson Clover, 1U >o 25 poun.'.s, 1 Vetch, 20 to 25 pounds; Austrian Winter Peas, 20 tu 23 pounds. Winter legumes by all mean'', should be iiiocuialed befoi'e seed-1 cd, unless the crop has 1K.,! I grown successfully on the -lan.tj within the past two years. The: same commercial inoculation ca.ij be used for both vetch ar.d Ae.u-, trian Winter peas; however, a. 'separate inoculation is rcpnic-.l for Crimson Clover. Top-.-?,,'] : taken from a fii-lj th.it iuij suc ets.si'uily grown a Winter Legume 'crop may be used for inoculating ' the eioj) was grown on • tire land within the past two years: however, it must be borne j in mind ihat the soil from the; Vetch field wiH not inoculate j ■ Clover or vice versa. The same j ' rule applies with Commercial in- i oculation also applies when soil is! ■sed for inoculating. Many Stokes county farmen have made a fail ure in growing winter legume, crop by not inoculating the seed before sowing. There is no legume that will i build land faster than winter I legumes, also they give the land) a protective cover during the win- j ter and early spring months and .thereby preventing erosion and •nil leaching. To get best results winter legume crops should be fertilized at the rate of 200 to! 300 pounds per acre with a 2-8-4 j to 2-10-4 fertilizer. Winterj legumes are excellent on bottom i 1 Jands that are planted to corn j' continuously. They are especi-i' ally adapted to this kind of land|' due to the fact that the cover i . i crop can be more easily turned! under in the spring than when it' 1 is sown on up land. ; € The farmers the county are' 0 urged to take advantage this fail ! a of the opportunity ot securing lime and triple super-phosphate I GEORGE VAUGHN DIES NEAR KING MOBK RESIDENTIAL CON j SIKIVIiON AND KE.UODLL iN(i—OIHKH KING MKU>». j King, Sept. 14.

Tripte suner-pbocphate is or.j of the best fertilizers that can too [added to legume and grass crops, .in order to obtain more luxuriant growth. Farmers that have used J superphosphate in the county aro jmore than pleased with the rc ; suits obtained. The immediate ' cost to the farmer for triple super phosphate is 30c. per 100 pound bag, which covers the freight and ■ handling charge. The remaining I cost of the phosphate is deducted j from the 1939 Soil Building Pay-! 1 ment, at the same time each 10J pounds of triple super-phosphate |' applied to legumes and grasses counts one unit and each 15001 pounds of lime applied to any I farm crop counts one unit i;i meeting the Soil Building Goal under the Agricultural Conserva tion Program. Farmers are urg ed to contact the County Office a» once to place their order for lime and super-phosphate. J. F. BROWN, . County Agent.
