COVER CROPS AS AN
AID TO SOIL FERTILITY

The following answer was made by
G. s. Traps, State chemist and chemist
to the experiment station at the Texas
A. & NJ College. to an inquiry concern
ing the use OF winter cover crops for
maintaining soil fertility:
winter cover crops are important,
especially on sandy soils. for the pur-
pose of preventing the loss OF plant
food II a legume Is used for cover
crop. there is the additional advan-
tage OF taking up nitrogen from the
air, and adding II to the fertility. The
vegetable matter produced by such
crops is also very necessary to the
soil II is therefore important to be-
gin the use OF legume cover crops dur
ing the winter Furthermore, II live
stock farming is practiced legume
cover crops afford some material for
use during the fall and spring months.
Most OF the soils OF Texas need crop
rotation more than they do fertilizer.
That is to say. they need first. the
vegetable matter to be added to their
soil, and, second. they need the nitro
gen which would be taken up by
legumes Nitrogen is too expensive
to purchase the entire quantity need

tilizers. The greatest defect OF South
er Sagriculture is the lack Of a proper
crop rotation, and I hope that the
farmers Of the South will be impelled
by the present condition Of the cotton
market to put in a crop rotation that
will build up soil fertility.
A good rotation consists Of oats fol.
lowed by cowpeas. or peanuts followed
by oats as a cover crop. followed by
cotton, followed by corn with peas or
peanuts between the rows. followed
by cover crop Of oats or some SINH.

Just at this time We wish to remind
the boys who are engaged in the boys
club work in Texas that fall prepare.
ton Of your seed bed Is absolutely
essential II you wish to secure the
best results from your next seasons
acre. Probably every boy engaged in
this work fears the results OF the dry
spell that is pretty sure to come be.
fore the growing season is over and
how much you wish for a rain during
these long periods OF drouth. If this
be true just remember that while you
have no control over the rainfall, you
can, provided you start in time, store
up enough water in your soil so that
when the drouth comes, your acre will
still have the equivalent of two or
three good rains in II.
1t matters not in what section of
the State you are located. see that a
deep and thoroughly pulyerized seed
bed is produced before the fall or
winter rains begin. II you have a
disc pillow with which to do the break.
ing, we would suggest that you pillow
lot less than eight inches deep as
this pillow can be set so that very little
of the subsoil will be brought to the
surface. If an ordinary turning pillow
is used and the land has not been
plowed deep in recent years. we would
suggest that you pillow about one and
one-half inches deeper this fall than
has been the custom heretofore. II
there is considerable vegetable matter
on the soil to pillow under. you can
safely pillow even two or two and one
half inches deeper than II was plowed
last season.
In the humid sections Of the State
this acre should not be left bare dur.
ing the winter months. Sow a cover
crop of rye, oats or crimson clover to
be plowed under in late winter. prob.
ably a month or six weeks before
planting time. This will nee, ssitate
an extra blowing, but the increased
yields will more than pay you for It..
In case the cover crop is not seeded,
the land should be narrowed imme.
diately after the fall blowing and as
soon as the soil is dry enough after
every rain during the winter This
will save the water.
In the drier sections Of the State an
excellent idea is to use some form of
subsurface packer on the land as soon

Long time ago, In the days when
the clouds hung over the sky from the
time the people got up until they went
70 bed. and the rain came pattering
down on the roofs hour after hour, tho
old men would gather the little boys
who wanted TO 20 out In the wet woods
TO play. and tell them that they must
walt until the sun had stopped crying
over the death Of her daughter.
And while the little boys listene
the old men would tell them about
how the wise medicine men got word
from the Yunwi Tsunsdi (the little
people OF the woods to send the rat.
uesnake TO kill the sun. In those days
the sun shone so hot every day that
many people were made sick by the
heat
The old men would tell about how
the rattlesnake went up to the house
OF the daughter of the sun, in the
middle OF the sky, and made a mis-
take. II was the daughter Of the sun
be killed instead OF the sun herself!
so" the old men would say. the
sun began to weep as soon as she
found out that her daughter had been
killed. staying up In her daughters
house so long that the people grew
cold and afraid because 1t was dark all
the time.
Then came the chief OF the Little
People and told the wise medicine men
that they would have to send messen.
gers TO Tsunginai (the Ghost Country
In Ushunhiyi (the Darkening Land in
the Vest to bring back the daughter
OF the sun.
so the wise medicine men chose
Ieven hunters to go TO the Ghost Coun-
try, and they set out carrying a box
TO bring the daughter OF the sun back
Ia. When they got to that country.
they found all the ghosts at a big
dance, just as the chief OF the Yunwi
rsunsdi said they would.
And just as they had been told to
do. they stood close by the circle OF
dancers, and. whenever the daughter
OF the sun came round in the dance,
