PLANT SOYBEANS AND COWPEAS DURING MAY Soybeans, “the crop with a fu ture,” produce a better yield of hay and seed if planted in May rather than in June or July. The many uses that are being developed for this crop are fast making it a valuaMe source of cash income, to say nothing of its value in soil building. Growers who wsh to have a good acreage of soil-conserving crops to qualify for payments under the soil conservation program will find soybeans well adapted forth s pur pose. For plowing or disking under soybeans, velvet beans, or cowpeas as green manure after they have attained a normal growth of at least two months, payments will be made a t the rate of $2 an acre. If they are left on the land, the pay ment will be $1 an acre. One dollar an acre will be paid for planting crotalaria, which is considered the best legume that can be grown in sandy soil areas of this state. Velvet beans should be planted as early in May as possible, while crotalaria should be sown during the latter part of the month. Cowpeas may be sown at about the same time as soybeans. Payments usually take care of the cost of growing these crops, but their soil-building value to a farm is worth far more than the payments. These crops may also be used to replace cotton, tobacco, and other soil-depleting crops when farmers wish to earn the diversion pay ments offered for taking land out of depleting crops and putting it THE ZEBULQN RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MAY SEVENTH, 1937. -\hT 15 JCMW ip , ~ £ 1-X Jy g' & [ l i m Seedbed Protects Young Plants From Sun, Wind and Washing Rail 7M SCREEN FOS I iOLD WiNDC.'T" T_ K'CTION FROM I SCRcFM TO B3EAK f HOT SUN 1 ( Foac£ C^,' N S -° issspsr .Miff iipif ' Pjs.is£ SSEO ' V b-D FOR. ~!cct a SheltereJ Position for the if Possible.

BERRIES MARKETED North Carolina’s strawberry season is late this year, due to un usual weather conditions. The peak of the market has not yet been reached at Wallace where it is. ex pected that 20,000 crates will he sold da ly a little later. The price is good this year, but labor for picking is less easily secured than in recent years.. Only about one per cent of the berries grown in N.

Very few strawberries are sold from patches near Zebulon.
