Clay Soils that Bake Hard

Clay Soils that Bake Hard,
This is from Mecklenburg county.
y. c.: II have some red clay land
which has been lying out for some
time and which | am endeayoring +,
bring into a high state Of cultiva-
ton. | find, however, that following
rains such as we have had recently
the soil quickly bakes very hard on
top, 50 much so hat seed which arc
ready to come up, cannot break
through this crust. Will you give
me some advice, both as to the gene
raj treatment Of the soil to cure this
defect, aud also as to how | should
treat it now, after the planting. of
e in order to enable the seed to
get up 2"
1t is the lack OF humus or vegc-
table decay in the soil which makes
it mor liable to bake on the sur
face. The soil is also very prob
ably acid, and needs lining. \
dressing OF lime will do a great deal
towards curing the defect, tempo-
rarilN at least. as the lime will NOT
only sweeten the soil, but will have
the mechanical effect of ]nocculatinc
or gathering the clay into loose par
ticIes. But the man treatment
must be from the grow ing and use
OF legume crops. like peas and Grim
son clover. TO restore to the soil the
vegetable matter that has been used
up in the past. and which is essential
in the m~cllOwing of the soil and en-
Aiding it better TO retain moisture.
a. we'll rs adding plant food.
You can for a time practice a very
short rotation in order to get as
much humuS-making material into
the soil as possible, and afterwards
I"ngthen the rotation. For instance.
divide the land into two parts. Plant
corn on one part and cotton on the
other. Sow peas among the corn a.
last working, and after the corn is
cut and shocked, disk down the peas
thoroughly and SOW crimson clover
in September. Turn this clover for
cotton in the spring, and among the
cotton about the first picking, SOW
crimson clover again, and turn this
for corn when in bloom and then re-
peat by sowing peas and clover ami
back to cotton. Give the clover each
tin 4 heavy dressing of acid phos-
phate. In this way YOU will gain
humus-making material in the soil
more rapidly than any way / can
suggest.
Some think hat ii does not pay tc
grow crimson clover for the cotton
crop, because the land must he
plOWed earlier for cotton thangsar,
corn. In the spring the clover will
have done its duty as a soil protec
tor in the winter; and will have got
ten nitrogen from the air and saved
that which would have leached from
the soil in winter. and even if turned
for cotton when not over six inches
high it will be a profitable invest
MT 1t. This short alienation of
crops gives YOU a green cover to the
soil every winter, and if the land is
we'll supplied with phosphoric acid
in acid phosphate you will need no
other fertilizer, since the clover and
peas Will furnish the nitrogen. and
will act with the lime in releasing
the abundant store Of potash which
your red clay soil contains.
