ADVISES GETTING
READY TO PLANT
LESPEDEZA CROP
--
Agronomist Says Getting
Ready As Important As
Actual Seeding
-&
Getting ready for planting lespedeza
is almost as important as the actual
seeding itself, says Enos C. Blair, ex
tension egronomist at State College.
If the grower raised his own seed,
he should clean and prepare it for
planting so that there will he nr delay
when planting time comes, Blair says.
Otherwise, he should investigate
prices and the quality of seed handled
by different seed houses so as to get
the best available seed at the most rea
sonable prices and have time to order
it before planting time.
Tennessee 76, Korean, Kobe, and
common lespedeza are the varieties
best aadapted to North Carolina soils
and most frequently planted, Blair
points out. About 25 pounds to the
acre is sufficient.
Although lespedeza will not grow
well except when handled carefully, it
is not as difficult to raise as many peo
ple think, and it is one of the best
soil builders and hay crops that can
be grown.
When planting lespedeza on small
grains which were sown the preced
ing fall, Blair says, the lespedeza
should be planted in February or
March. The lespedeza wil grow after
the grain has been harvested and may
be grazed, plowed under, or harvested

for seed in the fall.
For detailed instructions regarding
lespedeza in different sections of the
state, Blair suggests that the farmers
consult their county agents.
