Why . Growing Cover Crop.

A correspondent wants to know II
the grass and corn stalks, II left on
the land during tho winter. will not
serve a. cover crop for land to be
planted to cotton next year?
The grass and corn stalks will
serve one Of the purposes Of a cover
crop. but will not serve the other
purposes Of q winter cover crop.
which are Of great importance.
The purposes Of cover crop may
be stated a. follows:
1. To fill the soil with the roofs of
q growing plant that will in their
search for plant foods take up ard
hold In the plant, the soluble OF
available nitrogen in the soil that
might otherwise be leached out and
lost II legume cover crop, Il will
also gather extra nitrogen from The
aiE. which will be used b., and stored
In the growing plant
and fills 1t with roots which prevent
surface washing Of the land.
3. A cover crop may furnish graz
Ing. give spring crop Of hay or tor-
age. or supply extra material to Liow
under to make humus.
1t is apparent that the grass and
corn stalks on the land docs only
one Of these things--that stated in
No. 2. They merely cover the land
and In a measure. depending on the
amount Of grass prevent washing of
the surface soil.
OF course. the grass and corn
stalks furnish humus-f orming ma
terials but this Is no gain as they
may be plowed under when the cover
crop Is sowed.-Progressive Farmer.

second, logic; the third, which is the
