some humus may have to be supplied
from some other source This is espe-
cially true If the soil is naturally poor
in humus. One Of the simplest ways
to supply this is by green manuring.
This means the turning under of
green crop, such as clover. cowpeas or
some other legume. This supplies both
humus and nitrogen. The best time to
pillow under such a crop Is in the fall.
SO that it will have time to decay be-
fore spring. A large mass of unde-
cayed material plowed under In the
spring checks the upward movement
of moisture and is liable to make the
land sour.
Another method of adding to the hu-
mus supply is by moving crop of
clover about haying time and letting it
lie on the ground. The second crop
can be cut In the same way or used for
fall feed or for seed.
