. VALUE OF COVER CROPS.
A few of the valuable features of-
a cover crop may be named as fol
lows "
t. It dV "vents los of soil fer
tility hv washing. Lands that lie
bare during the wdnter may 4 loose
more olant food bvleachin than 19
used bv the cfon that grows there
during the summer.
2. It furnishes Grazing to
stock at a time when food of all
kinds is scarce. It also produces
health and vigor in animals and
keeps un a good flow of milk , of
dairv cows. Any successful system
of live-stock production is largely
dependent upon winter as well -as v
summer grazing.
3. If we ever establish an en
during and prosnerous agriculture
in the State we shall have to get
humus (vegetable or organic matter)
into our soils. Growing a winter
cover crop is one of the ways of
doing this. All fanned lands
should grow at least two crops ner
year, a sale crop and a soil-im
provemerit crop whether this A is
left on thi land or first fej to
stock and then returned there.
A decline in so;l fertility is not al
ways due to a lack of nitrogen,
potash or phosphoric acid. It .is
often due to the absence ofliumus.
There are ten or plants that are
suitable for winter growing in North
Carolina. One or' more of them r is
adapted to the various soil tvoe
and sections of the State. We shall
be pleased to enroll all farmers who
will help carry forward this i mi' -tant
movement,
Cordially yours,
