Investigators, whether scientists or practical farmers, have found that winter cover crops of any kind prevent land, in a large measure from washing, and when turned un der the following spring make it more productive than if no crop had grown on it. An experiment covering a number of years, in one of the North West ern states, showed that more plant tood was lost from the land during tne montns wnen no crops were grown on it than was taken off in the regular summer crops. If this was true in that state where they have long and cold winters when leaching is impossible for weeks at a time, how much more would it be true in North Carolina with her open winters when plant food can be leached from our soils almost any week during our winter months A ton of green rye contains, ae ording to good authorities, about G.6 pounds nitrogen, 3 pounds phos phoric acid, and 14.6 pounds potash. A ton of green wheat contains 10.8 pounds nitrogen, 3 pounds phos phoric acid, and 14 pounds potash Green oats contain just a little less plant food than does green wheat. A ton of crimson clover contains 8.6 pounds nitrogen, 2.6 phosphoric acid and 9.8 pounds potash. Red clover, Bur clover and the vetches contain more plant food in their green state than crimson clover does. The wheat and rye mentioned above was prob ably grown on fertile land which ex plains their high percentage of ni trogen, for it is an established fact that crops grown on rich land con tain more nitrogen than when grown on poor land. For that reason grain grown on rich land has a higher feeding value than that grown on poor land. It may be well for us to remember this when growing grain for our own feeding purposes. Rye, wheat and oats take nitrogen from the soil and store it in the plant, thus saving much of this cost ly element of plant food that would otherwise be leached from the land by our winter rains. The stools or bunches and their roots and leaves retard the flow of water and act as brakes which will prevent to a large degree the washing of our ro Uing lands. Tne clovers save the land from washing in the same way and in addition to this are beneficial by oeing able to take nitrogen from the air through the agency of bac teria which adds to the fertility of the soil. But to grow these latter crops successfully the soil must con tain the bacteria peculiar to the par ticular crop grown. It has been the experience of many of our farmers that any crop grown after a winter-cover croD. when turned under at the proper time in the spring, and disked well before and after turning, will produce a great deal more, often as much as 50 per cent more, than if no winter cover crop had been grown. The seed for a cover crop will cost from one to five dollars an acre according to kind and quantity of seed used. his should save to the soil and add to the next year's crop more than wice the cost of the cover crop. Sow at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds rimson clover seed per acre and cover lightly with harrow or culti vator. These can be sowed in grow ing crops, on stubble land, or after peas, bow trom W to 30 pounds ot that way no cotton will be knocked out in covering the seed. Put in the crop that will succeed best in your locality and experiment with other crops in a small way un til you are assured they will make satisfactory growth on your land and under your conditions.
