- For the last few years, Leg pedeza has done more toward building up poor and worn out soils than any other known plant. The reason it has been able to do this is because it is a legume that, will make a good growth on comparatively poor land without the use of lime. This character istic makes Lespedeza especially suited to a large amount of the land in Alleghany county. Lespedeza is no longer in the experimental stage in this county. Hundreds of farmers have been sowing some of the seed for the last few years, and a large ma jority of these farmers have found it a profitable crop to grow. Those farmers who have been sowing Lespedeza seed have been better pleased each year with the resi.lts they have obtained. Lespedeza seed prices have not gone up as much as that of other clovers and grasses. On account of the comparatively cheaper prices of Lespedeza seed, I think it would be advisable to substi tute them to a certain extent for other grass seed. The amount of Red Clover and Timothy seed per acre could be reduced and from five to ten pounds of Korean Lespedeza seed per acre added to take their place. Where poor stands of clover were had last year, it would be advisable to sow 10 to 15 pounds of Korean Lespedeza seed per acre on the land. Every pasture mixture of grass seed should have at least 10 pounds of Common Lespedeza seed per acre. Common Lespedeza is the only legur.ie we have that will continue to grow and im prove our thin pasture lands. It not only improves the land but in most cases it will double the - grazing on this land during July, August and September. Every farmer in the county should sow an acre or two of old pasture land in Common Lespedeza using 20 pounds of seed per acre.
