BEST USE OF STABLE MANURE IN
THE PROPER ROTATION OF CROPS
The Common Practice Is To Manure the Corn First
Manure Without the Reinforcement OF Mineral Ferti-
izers Must Be Considered Chiefly AS Carrier OF
Nitrogen and Vegetable Matter
CBy ]. c. McAmis, University of Tennesseeo

Zone of the foremost advantages Of
well-planned rotation OF crops is
that it provides a suitable place fol
the application of stable manure and
renders possible its most efficient use
Since it is impracticable to attempt tc
spread the manure over the entire
farm during any single year, and since
it is desirable that each field should
receive its share during the rotation
it seems to be the best plan to apply
it always to that crop which makes the
best use of 1t.
The question naturally arises: TO
which of the farm crops shall manure
be applied, how, and when?" While
all crops ordinarily grown on the farm
would be benefited by appropriate APP
plications, there are some to which it
is better adapted than others, and
should have the preference, if there is
not a sufficient supply for all.
The common practice is to manure
the corn first. The reason has been
that this crop holds first place as a
food producer and as an economical
user Of plant food. Manure without
the reinforcement of mineral fertiliz-
ers must be considered chiefly as a
carrier of nitrogen and vegetable mat
ter. Corn has greater power to utilize
immense quantities of nitrogen, even
in the form of coarse organic matter
than any other crop. 1t RECEIVERS a
higher percentage of any plant food
placed in the soil.
There are other considerations, how
ever, in the use of stable manure. Its
residual or permanent effect, aside
from it's plant food content, must not
be ignored It's great value in getting
and maintaining stands of clover and
grass stands out unquestioned in the
light of actual farm experience. More
over, this is of first Importance in the
improvement of soils which have gone
down in crop production. How to grow
clover successfully is the fundamental
question of Tennessee agriculture.
For the present at least the Expert
ment Station is recommending that
manure be applied to the grain crop
with which clovers and grasses are
usually sown. The only exceptions to
this practice are made in limited areas
where the natural fertility of the soil
is such that there is danger of the ma
nure causing the grain crop to lodge
there clover can usually be grown
without manure), and where clover
is being grown successfully because
of liberal applications Of lime and
phosphate. When this condition is
true on the average farm, the practice
of applying manure should be changed,
but until clover is grown successfully,
it should continue to have the
preference.
1t is not always possible to get onto
the grain fields in winter The alterna-
tive would be, in the case of fattening
cattle or sheep, to leave it under the
feet of the animals on the concrete !

THE MANAGEMENT OF WINTER PASTURES

out the season, provided, of course
that they are given some grain, as they
| always should be.
Since cereals intended for grain pri.
marily are sown later and at smaller
rate Of seeding, they can not be relied
upon for as high production as those
seeded for winter pasture only. The
grazing period must be much shorter
by beginning later in the fall and stop.
ping earlier in the spring. They should
seldom be pastured later than March
first. Horses and heavy cattle should
be removed even earlier, while sheep
and hogs may remain with less dam.
age.
Wherever practicable, crops should
be grazed at successive stages by
changing the stock at intervals of sew
eral days or few weeks. This prac
rice requires the division of the field
into at least two areas, but pastures
are made more productive than they
would be under constant use.
Rye will stand closer grazing than
any of the other grains. The closer
grazing should be done in the spring
rather than in the fall on fields where
grain crop is not expected.
The aim should be never to allow
stock on these pastures while the land
is wet or the crop covered with frost.
The injury to the physical condition of
the land, especially clay soils, from
tramping while wet, may far exceed
the profit obtained with the growth of
the stock. Even with thick, early
seeding, this difficulty will remain and
must not be lost sight of. However,
the more abundant the covering, the
smaller will be the damage.
To overcome this difficulty, rye may
be seeded into red clover or Japan
clover sod by discing lightly, and then
seeding the rye with disc drill dur.
ing the first days Of October. The
land remains firm and there Is little
damage from treadlng of stock.
We can not emphasize too strongly
the Importance of providing ample
winter pastures for all classes of
stock, and especially hogs and sheep.
They can not be raised at good profit
without it. 1t is equally important that
both the pastures and the land upon
which they grow be used judiciously.

Probably larger acreage of small
grain and clover has been sown this
fall, for the sole purpose Of grazing
throughout the winter season, than
ever before in Tennessee. Moreover,
the usually high prices of ali kinds of
live stock, and the extreme scarcity
Of roughage available for winter feed
ing will invite many stockmen to turn
stock on both the area sown for that
purpose and also the fields that are
to be harvested for grain. Both prac-
tees seem to be wise In the former
case, if clover is sown with the
grain, fertility will be added to the
soil at the same time it is furnishing
one of the most economical feeds in
the South. In the case of the crop
intended for grain, grazing may often
be practiced on rich lands without de-
creasing the grain yield. 1t is occa-
sionally beneficial On poorer lands,
a decrease in the grain yield Is likely
to result, but at present prices, the
overbalance the decrease in grain, and
at the same time keep the fertility on
the land. 1t is important, therefore,
that the winter pasture should be man
aged so that the maximum amount of
green forage will be obtained, and in
the case of the grain crop, the de-
crease in yield will be reduced to a
minimum.
The key to success with cereal crops
and legumes sown entirely for pasture
purposes lies in thick seeding In late
August or early September, on seed
bed that has been well prepared. The
crops should then be allowed to attain
a height of three or four inches before
the stock are allowed upon them. Too
often pastures are injured. and their
possibilities are wasted. for the sake |
OF few days pasture in the early fall, |
whereas their efficiency might be
greatly increased for winter and spring |
use by waiting a short time.
The greater the number of stock to |
be used on given area, the longer |
should the grazing period be delayed.
Climatic and soil conditions must also
be considered Under ordinary con-
ditions, an August-sown pasture on
land of medium fertility should carry
six fifty-pound shoats, or one yearling
calf, or four sheep per acre. through

floors of a shallow pit, which insures
the exclusion of air and prevents fer
mentation, as the silo does with the
ensilage. In the case of horses and
dairy cattle, it is best to provide a
manure shed with floors and walls of
concrete, to which stock (eXcepting
hogs and chickens) should have access
in order to keep the manure well pack
ed Water should be added if the
manure is dry.
1t may remain under the shed tenn
porarily, but even with a shed it
should be hauled to the field as quick
" as possible, because the soil is the
best place for manure.
AS soon as stock are removed from
the stall or manure shed, the manure
should be spread Immediately upon
the fields. Otherwise it dries and as "a
result air is admitted and fermentation
begins. Whenever heating takes place
in manure it results in serious loss
of plant food.
Wherever it is impracticable to APP
ply manure to the grain and clover, the
next best place is to winter cover
crop or winter pasture that is to be
turned under for corn. 1t is always
desirable to disc the crop and manure
thoroughly before breaking, especially
if the manure is coarse and not well
rotted. Where manure is held in the
stalls until spring, to be applied to
corn, it is usually we'll rotted, and it
should be applied after breaking and
before discing. If 1t is not well rotted,
it should be disced into the land pre-
vious to breaking. Some mixing with
the soil is desirable, and should be
done Immediately, except when it is
applied to winter grain and clover as
a top dressing.
Manure must not be expected to re-
place lime and phosphate in building
soils. Its highest. efficiency is obtain
ed on lands well supplied with these
materials The plant food which it
contains is chiefly nitrogen.
1t has been found that all plants be-
longing to the legume family, by the
aid of bacteria growing upon their
roots, will appropriate the free nitro
gen of the air. If the soil is well sup
piled with this element in readily
available form, the bacteria prefer to
use the soil nitrogen instead of fixing
it from the air.
Nitrogen in soluble form is readily
leached by exposure to rain and snow
and easily lost as gas In fermenta
ton. Above all, this process can and
should be prevented by spreading di-
rectly on the field or by keeping it wet
and compacted on air and water-tight
floors.
Note the losses from exposure to wealth
