PUT IN WINTER COVER CROPS
VERY VALuABLE.

DO not forget the value OF wheat,
oats and rye for cover crops. There
are four distinct values of these three
cover crops.
First. They produce fine winter
pasture.
Second They lessen the washing
of the soil and loss Of fertility.
Third The green plants use plant
food that Is being liberated through
out the winter and when they are
plowed under a great deal OF plant
food is saved which would be lost
othrwise.
Fourth. The plants plower under
in the spring will not only add fertil.
fly but humus to the soil and thus in
crease its moisture holding capacity.
