Adapted to Different Sec

Secure Good Growth

Planting cover or green manure
crops is a matter whith requires at
tention in September In most parts
of the United States, says the United
States Department OF Agriculture.
Glover, vetch, and other legumes
serve the triple purpose OF adding
humus to the soil, accumulating nj
trogen, and preventing soil erosion.
With some tender berry and fruit
crops they also serve to protect the
roots from severe winter weather.
Outside OF the nitrogen-forming
plants, rye is largely used as cover
crop sown in the fall and plowed un-
der in the spring to add organic mat
matter to the soil. The cover-crop
problem varies largely with locality,
but for over-wlnter purposes there is
one rule which is universal, and that
is to get the crop In the ground in
time to secure good growth before
freezing weather.

Fortunately though, they have put

The fire-colored sunset Is quite diff

FARM AND GARDEN HINTS

FALL PIGS TO EAT THE CORN
On account OF the relative high
price OF hogs many farmers have
planned to produce fall litters OF pigs
instead of fattening their brood sows
for the market. The ratio between
the prices OF hogs and corn makes
this q commendable practice. With
corn at present prices, eight or nine
cent hogs should return liberal prof
it's and farmers who raised q good
spring pig crop should consider them
selves fortunate. With another big
corn crop practically assured, the
production of fall pigs has been en-
couraged. While hogs may not hold
their present high market position,
1t would take a material drop In
prices to make feeding improbable
ut present corn values. Men who
have gone thru similar periods of de-
preston In years past say that once
again hogs have come to the rescue
OF the farmer. Time and again hogs
have rooted" the farmer out OF dis
tress, and there is every reason to
believe they will do it again. An
abundance OF corn plus good pork
prices bid fair TO hold up the morale
OF the farmer, provide him with
mo Dey to pay his interest aud taxes,
and encourage him to stand ready
for another year.
FALL. SOWN CROPS IMPORTANT
Fall-sown grains and winter le-
gumes will help to accumulate the
nitrogen so badly needed In southern
agriculture; will prevent washing
and erosion and will add the much
needed humus to the soils, besides
furnishing winter pasturage and
summer feedstuff for the livestock,
says Director j. N. Harper OF the

tee. Not only this, but these crops
will help In that rotation OF crops
now being sought for by many far
mers.
