ad there was no big eastern orders
and packers were AFRAID to load up
any as The outlook for tomorrow is
for big receipts, consequently pack

on the toboggan. The start was sc
below yesterday and soon went to
L0c below, and it was hard work to
keep the prices at that level Sales
were very slow in the closing hour
and thousands were left over to be
picked up by packers at their own
price late today, or to swell The
number for tomorrow. The bulk of
the sales were made at $7.70@7. 80

7.90@S.05 last Wednesday; $500

Winter Cover Crops.

Every farmer owes it to himself
to his family and to posterity, tt
take the best care of his land that
ne possibly can; to maintain it's fer.
tility and to keep it from washing
away.
Investigators, whether scientists
or practical farmers, have found
that winter cover crops of any kind
prevent land, in a large measure,
from washing, and when turned un-
der the following spring make it
more productive than if no crop had
grown on it.
An experiment covering number
Of years, in one of the North West
arn states, showed that more plant
food was lost from the land during
the months when no crops were
grown on it than was taken off in
the regular summer crops. If this
was true in that state where they
have long and cold winters when
teaching is impossible for weeks at
a time, how much more would it be
true in North Carolina with her
open winters when plant food can
be leached from our soils almost
any week during our winter months.
A ton of green rye contains, ac-
cording to good authorities, about
6.6 pounds nitrogen, pounds phos-
phoric acid, and 146 pounds potash.
A ton Of green wheat contains 1913
pounds nitrogen, 3 pounds phos
phoric acid, and IA pounds potash.
Green oats contain just little less
plant food than does green wheat.
A ton of crimson clover contains 8.6 |
pounds nitrogen, 2.6 phosphoric acid
and 9.8 pounds potash. Red clover, |
Bur clover and the vetches contain
more plant food in their green state
han crimson clover does. The wheat
md rye mentioned above was prob
IDLY grown on fertile land which ex-
,lains their high percentage Of nj
rogen, for it is an established fact
hat crops grown on rich land con-
ain more nitrogen than when grown
N poor land. For that reason grain
crown on rich land has a higher
eeding value than that grown on
,oor land. It may be well FOR us to
this when growing grain
or our own feeding purposes.

Rye, wheat and oats take nitrogen
from the soil and store it in the
plant. thus saving much of this cost.
} ly element of plant food that would
otherwise be leached from the land
by our winter rains. The stools or
punches and their roots and leaves
retard the flow of water and act as
brakes which will prevent to a large
degree the washing of our 70 ling
lands. The clovers save the land
from washing in the same way and
in addition to this are beneficial by
being able to take nitrogen from
the air through the agency of bac-
terra which adds to the fertility of
the soil. But to grow these latter
crops successfully the soil must con-
tain the bacteria peculiar to the par
ticular crop grown.
1t has been the experience of many
of our farmers that any crop grown
after a winter-cove crop, when
turned under at the proper time in
the spring, and disked we'll before
and after turning, will produce a
great deal more, often as much as
so per cent more, than if no winter
cover crop had been grown. The
seed for cover crop will cost from
one to five dollars an acre according
to kind and quantity of seed used. |
This should save to the soil and add
to the next years crop more than
twice the cost Of the cover crop.

An application Of manure, or
from 200 to 500 pounds acid phos-
phate, per acre and Is to so pounds
of potash on sandy or gray
land, will be helpful to the clovers
and vetches. For rye or other small
grain it may be better to add per
cent nitrogen to the above.

The tornado was accompanied by a
