COUNTY AGENTS W82 WINTER HAY CROPS Winter hay crops are one of the surest crops that farmers in Haywood county can grow. Winter hay crops that are planted in the fall and cut for hay the following spring. The crops used for the purpose are the small grains, oats, barley, wheat, and rye, usually sown with some of the annual winter legumes such as vetch, Aus trian winter peas, and crimson clover. These crops grow from fall until spring and can be managed so as not to conflict with the principal summer crops. One of their advantages is that they occupy the land at a time when it would otherwise be bare and exposed to the leaching out of soluble plant food, and to erosion of the soil itself. The chief advantage of winter hay crops, of course, is that they furnish a good crop of fresh hay at a time when the supply is likely to be rather low. The seed should be sown in a seed bed that is pulverized to a depth of about 4 inches. It pays to prepare a good seed bed before planting any seed. Whenever possible put the seed in with a grain drill, as this method givs a better stand than is obtained by broadcasting the seed and covering them with a harrow. The drill fur rows also help to protect the crop from freezing out. Fertilizer recommendations for the crop is 400 pounds of 4-10-4 commer cial fertilizer per acre, when the crop is seeded and 100 pounds per acre of a quick acting soluble nitrate in the spring if the crop needs it. A good coat of stable manure may be applied during the fall and winter instead of part of the commerial fertilizer. In sowing hay mixtures more seed is used to the acre than for a single crop, for. the reason that several species planted together will stand closer crowding. This results in a larger yield of hay. Mixture also has the added advantage in that if one Crop in the mixture should fail enough other will be left to make, a good growth.' Livestock like the hay better on account of the variety. It always pays to be liberal with seed. It also pays to get good seed, that are high in purity and germina tion, and true to name. If possible use certified seed. Farmers lose thousands of dollars every year through lack of care in this respect. A good winter hay crop mixture for Haywood county is: Oats 2. bushels Barley 1 bushel Wheat 1 peck Vetch 15 pounds The best time for mowing small CRABTREE.

C. T. K. Brown, General Mgr. L. L. McLean, Sales Mgr. New Tenant Aid Bill Is Explained The Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act authorizing the federal govern ment to help tenants and share-croppers acquire farm homes is now a law, but Progressive Farmer readers should not expect much of it the first year or .so. Only $10,000,000 is avail able for loans the first year and this will purchase farm homes for only 2,000 to 3,000 of the 2,500,000 ten ants in the United States. The amount available for loans will be increased to $25,000,000 the second year and to $50,000,000 each thereafter. These funds will be distributed among the states on a basis of their farm pop ulation and prevalence of tenancy. , Tenants wishing a loan will be re quired to file their applications with the county agent. Local committees of farmers will select tenants to whom farm purchase loans are to be made and will appraise and certify the farm the tenant selects. The loans will run 40 years and bear 3 per cent in terest. In some cases the government may lend the entire amount needed to buy the farm. The tenant buying the land receives the deed to the farm when he pays off the government loan, except that if he pays off before five years the government will not issue a full re lease until the end of the five-year period. The purchaser also agrees that during the five-year period or such time as is required to pay off the loan he will comply with such ! farm practices including national farm programs as the Secretary of Agricul ture may find essential to the preser vation and conservation of the soil. The legislation provides for two other activities designed to help low-income farmers. They are: 1. Rehabilitation loans to prevent small farm owners from slipping into tenancy, and to help tenants, share croppers, and farm laborers improve their living standards. 2. Retirement of land uhsuited for farming. In connection With this the government is authorized to help families now living on submarginal land to acquire good land.- The Pro gressive Farmer. ed by W. D. Smith, former county agent for Haywood county. The chapter has not formally organized as yet, but will begin work when school opens Monday, October 4. grains for hay is when they are in the dough stage, and for winter legumes when they are about one-half full bloom.
