Four things should be considered in planning what to plant: (1) is the crop to Ibe grazed? (2) will tobacco be planted on the field in 1052? (3) is the crop to be planted for soil building only? (4) is the soil sandy or loamy? On land to be planted in to bacco next year a winter cover crop of small grain is (best, since winter legume crops tend to throw the fertility level off balance for' toibacco and thereby create au added problem of how to f»tilize, as well as in many cases encoura^ ing disease. Winter peas are partic ularly risky to plant, since they harbor root knot and are there fore detrimental to tobacco farms. For fields to be planted in com and cotton in 1952 it is a hi^ily profitable practice to plant either a legume carop or a conrit>ination legume and sm2ill grain or a com bination legume and grass crop, during the winter when it is often left hare and subject to loss of soil fertilizer nutrients throu|^ wind erosion and bleaching. They also provide the best temporary grazing available during the win ter and spring. They build up the organic matter in the soil as well as. increasing the amount j£ nitrogen. A good growth of Crim son Clover or Vetch turned under will add the equivalent of MO 1»* of nitrate of soda per acre io the soU. If the cover crop»is not to be grazed 20-2S lbs. of Cruaaaott Clover or 20-25 ybs, of VeU* (Continued on hecK $•••)
