COVER CROPS.
Vigorous Campaign to Push Cover
Crops This Year.-Letter to DEM
onstratiOn Agents.
Clemson College, April 9, 1913.

clemson College, April 9, 1913.
To all agents in South Carolina:
want to say to you right in the outset
that my policy will be to vigorously
push the cover crop and grass propo-
sitions already begun. I feel that we
! have merely made a beginning in this
work and while the beginning has been
encouraging, yet we realize that al
most everything depends upon a Wig
orous campaigns this year, to fix the
practice already introduced, to lar ely
increase the acreage among our last
years demonstrators, and to vastly
increase the number of demonstrators,
even though the acre be small with
each of the latter.
All open lands should at least be
covered with rye or other grain cover
crops, and with this grain should be
sown vetch or clover, to as great an
extent as it is possible to properly in
oculate. Of course, always allow those
who prefer to do so to SOW vetch or
clover aloneA This question of inocu-
lation on lands where vetch and cloy-
er have not recently grown success
fully is so important that unless you
can get the demonstration to properly
use as much as 500 pounds of we'll in
oculated soil per acre, I would advise
that he be left off your list.
an negotiating with number Of
commercial houses which seem favor
able to the proposition of furnishing
vetch, clover and grass seed, some at
actual cost, and others at not exceed
ing 10 per cent. above cost price to
demonstrators, through county agents.
You will begin the enrolment Of
grass and cover crop demonstrators at
once determining the kinds and
amounts of seed desired by each. Dem
onstrators in any number may be
taken for grass and and cover crops,
or for either, exclusive of other dem
onstration work. Of course, the sup
ply of seed may be more or less linn
tied, and all will be subject to the
custom: First come, first served" F"
Send list of such demonstrators, to-
getber with addresses and amount of
each kind of seed desired by each,
completed, to your district agent.
Grass and cover crops will rebuild
and maintain the fertility Of the soil
more quickly and more cheaply than
any other method known to modern
agriculturists. Besides, this practice
lays the foundation for success along
all other lines.
Please remember that 1 do not rec
ommend this grass mixture, except on
clay and clay loan soils.
1 am authorized to offer $25 to the
county agent in the State who induces
the farmers in his county to produce
the greatest number Of pounds Of
yetch and clover seed for seed pur-
poses, the award to be made by the
district agent by December I, 1913.
- Very truly yours,
W. W. Long,
State Agent and Supt. of Ext.
