Crimson and bur clovers and vetch are our : best? winter legumes, and they will grow well pn nearly all well drained soils in the Cotton Belt. Every farmer who possibly can should at least make a start this fall with, one or more of them. Where the legumes are hot planted, oats or rye should-be used. . Seed of . these are com paratively cheap, stands are easy to get and their value in holding the land and in furnishing winter grazing is great. - Good farming big yields at low costs calls for soil-saving and soil-building. When we have grasped and applied this fundamental ' truth; we will be well along the way to success. "
