per acre and where the soil is sandy sow
ten to fifteen pounds of crimson clover
per acre or if the soil is a heavy clay
gumbo, use the same amount of Burr
clover instead of the crimson.
Now the vetch and clover may be an ex-
pertinent in some sections yet it is an ex-
pertinent that l would certainly make
and one / feel safe in recommending. SO
here we have a combination of winter
barley, vetch and clover which may be
grown either for pasture or hay or for
both, as the stock can be taken off in time
for all these crops to grow up and make
a crop of hay. However if hay is want
ed, would not advise pasturing, and II
pastured at all only light stock should
be used, and these put on only when
the soil is dry. Sheep, calves, pigs and
poultry would be the best for grazing
on the crop. When the barley is in the
dough state, cut for hay. Get this crop
of hay off as quickly as possible turn
back and pillow the field and sow to cow
peas and sorghum for another crop of
hay. Sometimes discing the land will an
swer, but as a rule, If time will permit,
It is best to break the land. The peas
will need to be put in deeper than will
the sorghum, so that after the land is
broken and narrowed fine the peas may be
put in with a grain drill or sowed broad
cast and cultivated in and the sorghum
seed narrowed in. Use at least one bushel
each of the peas and sorghum seed per
acre. When this crop is cut for hay, sow
the field again to the winter barley.
yetch and clover, as recommended above.
which may be used either for hay or
pasture.
BY the time these three crops of hay
are grown the Bermuda will have been
entirely eradicated and the soil left in
fine condition for almost any other crop
that we want to grow on the land. Or
course, we have been whole year in
killing the grass, but at the same time
we have been growing paying crops, for II
the farmer is up-to-date In such mat
tiers he will have grown from four to
six tons of valuable hay per acre, be-
sides getting valuable pasture while he Is
killing his grass. Besides this, the sys-
tenn that is recommended will put the soil
in such a high state of cultivation that
big crop of grain, potatoes or cotton may
follow this rotation, and such a crop be
produced at small expense.
There is just one thing to be taken INTO
consideration in this rotation, which IS
that in many sections where Bermuda
grass thrives we are likely to have dry
summers. and the weather may be dry at
time of harvesting the first crop of hay,
so we may experience some Difficulty IN
preparing the soil for the second crop
of hay. Where this is the case L would
recommend that the soil be plowed as
fast as the hay can be cut and taken UP,
and that good disc and smoothing mar
rows be used at once before the soli mas
time to become dry behind the plow
Use the disc first, then the smoothing
harrow. Often it will pay to follow these
with roller, and this is especially recon-
mended for dry sections. Roll the land
both before and after seeding.
