"THE FIRE BRIGADE &
Crop Yields Increased
By Use of Legumes
Raleigh, N. C There have been
many notable ecxamiiles over North
Carolina during the past yeaer of liow
soils may be improved in fertility.
The method used is simple since it
includes largely the turning under of
legumes.
"Some Yl these examples included a
tobacco crop which sold for over
$500 an acre, a twenty-seven horse
cotton crop that made over a bale
to the. acre and many unusually high
corn yields," ays E. C. Blair, ex
tension, agronunist at State ccollcgc.
"Interest in livestock is increasing
in the state and a large part of the
land now planted to such cash crops
as tobacco, cotton, 'peaenuts and other
crops may . be shifted to feed crops
for liveestock with a good cash in
come from the animals, as well as
an increased yield of the money crops
made on less land. The . way to do
this is to follow the example of
those men who are making the best
use of legumes in their crop rota
tions." . Mr. Blair states that C. H. Gorham
of Edgecombe county made .72 bush
els of corn per acre where he plowed
under clover as compared with 33
bushels where no clover was used.
Removing the clover as hay decreased
the yield by five bushels per acre.
J. F. Cowan, of Hertford,' county,
made 49 bushels of corn per acre
where he used no vetch as a cover
crop and 87 bushels where a volun
teer stand , was plowed under. G. E.
Callahan, of Bladcnc county, has been
following a good- crop rotation since
1923 and how sells about $3,000 worth
of tobacco, cotton, beef, pork, and
poultry products from 32 acres of
cultivated land. C. M. Foy, of Jones
'county, and T. J. Purdie, of Cumbcr
(land, are. two other farmers who
nave iounn mac a crop rotation win
legumes will bring better yields of the
main cash crops and will leave the
remaining acreage for producing feed
and food crops.
The ideea of a systematic crop r o
tation is old, states Mr. Blair, but in
actual practice it is ew. ;antl more
landowners are becoming interested
each year.
Short Courses Planned
For Wintere Months
Raleigh, N. C. Practical short cours
es for poultry growers and beekeepers
of North Carolina will be held at
State ccollcgc during the month ' of
January according to rcent announce
ments. The beekeepers of the Mate will

27. This course will be given under
the direction of Dr. Z., P. Metcalf,
heaed of the department of ento
mology, who will be assisted by C. L.
Sams, extension specialist in bee
keeping, Frank B. Meacham, assistant
professor and H. H. Root,, general
manager of the A. I. Root company.
Mr. Root is a national authority on
bees and beekeeping. Dr". B. W.
Wells, botanist, will give a lecture on

lina. Th State Beekeepers association

partment will be used in th lec
tures and demonstrations to b given.
Dr. B. F. Kaupp, heead of the poultry
department, has some interesting facts
on poultry disease and other labora
tory problms that will be of great
interest.! He states that about 200
poultry growers are .expected to at
tend. Last . year there were 75 per
sons present and the increasing in
terest in modern poultry raising leads
himto believe that a much larger
number wil lattend this vear.
