For this reason, it should be better cured with unchopped hay. Even with precautions, chopped hay sometimes gets damp and heats. . For example, there have been cases reported in which chop ped hay was put through driers, and the bulk of it well-dried. H owever,' little bunches of damp hay slipped through. ' As a result, the, damp spots heated. 7t some of these spots the hay merely browned or char red, but at others fire actually broke out;, causing much loss.

Then, too, a large num ber of fa-rmers are storing chop ped hay in buildings apart from their livestock.

North Carolina is greener with each pass ing year, but there are still too many barren fields that should be growing something the year around, says Enos C. Blair, agro nomist of the State College Ex tension Service, Since the Agricultural Conser vation program came into existence in 1936, farmers have become in creasingly conscious of building and maintaining their soils. Each succeeding year the program has had more farmers adopting . soil building practices especially in growing winter legumes. "But," Blair said, "too many far mers still think their year's work is done when they plant crops in the spring, gather them in the fall, and sell those for which there is a market." i The State College agronomist ex-, plained that with North Carolina's climate this kind of farming is wasteful of time, of plant food, of the soil itself, and of an oppor tunity to become independent. "We can plant crops, in the fall," he said, "that will keep the land busy during the winter mak ing grain and hay for livestock, or gathering nitrogen, from the air to be used as plant food when the crop is plowed under. "At ,the same time,'' he said, "these crops keep the best part of the soil from washing away.' They do not interfere with spring-planted crops, are inexpensive to erow, and require little labor to plant." Some of the principal winter cover crops for laying a green mantle over North Carolina fields are; small grains, such as w'heat, barley, oats, and rye; and winter, legumes, such as hairy vetch, Aus trian winter peas, crimson clover, and bur clover. . A free bulletin on winter cover crops, giving time of planting and amounts of seed to use, may be obtained by writing the Agricultur al Editor, State College, Raleigh.
