A Winter Cover Crop.
j. II. HUDNALL, Agent

The farmer who does not try to
get all he can out of his land dn-
nually and yet leave it in condition
to yield more the following season
has mistaken his vocation.
One way to do this is to plant
cowpeas in the corn at the time Of
the last cultivation; harvest the
corn in September and pasture the
cowpeas in October. Early in
November deep break and plant to
rye, using about one bushel per
acre. Our reasons for preferring
rye are the following:
l. 1t is hardy. It will germinate
and make a stand when other
grains fail. Oats and barley will
winter kill when rye will remain
practically uninjured by the frost.
1t stands tramping and grazing
better than other grains.
2. It takes kindly to poor soils,
which is an important factor on
most lands.
i
| Where hairy vetch will succeed,
the addition Of a peck Of vetch seed
to a bushel Of rye is an improve
ment.
Where there is no boil weevi|
