crimson clover or 10 pounds of crimson
clover and 10 pounds of hairy vetch We
would prefer to handle the land so as
TO secure a good fine friable seed bed
and SOW the grain as early as possible.
We often drin in rye and vetch and
scatter the crimson clover ahead of the
drill rubes by means of the grass seed
er attached to most up-to-date grain
drills. OF course, you can sow oats, and
such varieties as Texas rust proof, APP
pier and Fulghum will do well in your
section of the state. Crimson clover
is a fine soil improving crop. We have
generally considered it the best practice
to combine ii with a cereal, and we
have grown it with oats for hay for
several years past
We believe 1t advisable to SOW ac' d
phosphate with oats or any of the other
cereals mentioned on thin land. We
think It is all right to use 200 to 800
pounds per acre. 4 little organic nitro
gen VIII often prove an advantage or
thin land and a top dressing with quick
available nitrogen In the spring is de-
sirable. II you desire to build up the
land in question. we advise that you
SOW the mbinat ton suggested as soon
as practicable and cut for hay in the
spring. and then devote the land to cow
peas to be plowed under in late August.
The velvet bean is a fine soil building
crop but will probably not mature seed
as satisfactory IN your section of the
state as some other legumes. Cowpeas
should mature their seed before ready
to pillow under, and you could gather this
seed and still turn under the vine. BY
this method you would enrich the land
and also secure a crop of grain of con-
siderable value from the land during the
summer. When a crop is cut off, such
as red clover or other legumes. most of
the nitrogen is removed from the soil
as il is chiefly found In the leaves and
seed. although some is found in the
roots stubble and fallen leaves. In the
case Of cowpeas this will amount to 20
to 80 pounds per acre. and in the case
OF clover it might amount to a little
more.
