widespread favor, different varieties
being employed according to climate
and crop conditions.
The time of planting and the best
crop to use is matter which local
conditions must dictate. Along the
north Atlantic coast it is considered
best to get these crops in from the
first to the middle of August, while in
the extreme south the planting may
be deferred to early October. In the
extreme north hairy vetch is favored
as lcgume, cover, or green manure
crop, but rye is also largely planted
north Alabama line crimson clover
gives good results. In the extreme
south bur clover, vetch, and crimson
clover are used, as well as velvet bean
and cow peas.
In the extreme southwest, particul-
arly with the orchardists of southern
California, common vctch is Sown in
the fall and turned under as early as
possible in the spring. Purple vetch
is preferred, as it can be turned un-
der one month earlier than other
varieties, but until recently there has
been extreme scarcity of seed, a CON
dition which is being rcmcdicd
through the efforts Of the department
in getting the seed grown i'm more
northern sections of the coast.
When to Sow Cover Crops
Sour clover is used to large ex-
tent, as the seed is cheaper than that
of the vctches. Farther north on the
coast common vctch gives good results
while east of the mountains in the
northwest hairy vstch is used because
of it's cold-resistant properties.
Methods with cover crops vary
greatly. In the south they are custo-
marily sowcd between rows of cotton
at the last picking. 1t is also common
to SOW the winter crop between corn
rows before harvest. Wherever clean
cultivation is practiccd the soil is
| likely to be in shape for broadcasting
the seed. If convenient, it can be
narrowed in. In orchards light har-
rowing or disking may be employed if
the ground is free from sod. Care
must, of course, be taken not to in
jurc the roots. The crop is usually
plowed under in the spring, but this
is not always done with orchards
Data collected in all parts Of the Unit
ed States shows>a general benefit from
this form of agriculture.
Cover crops are of especial value
to small gardens and truckers, who
often find it both difficult and eXpcn-
slvc to obtain stable manure. They
| add the humus which is so necessary
to maintain good physical condition

Planting cover or green manure
crops is a, matter which requires at
tcntion in August or September in
most parts of the United States, say
experts Of the United States Depart
mcnt Of Agriculture.
CloveG >vetcp, and other legumes
serve the IfaSple purpose Of adding hu-

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 a cofcr crop SOwn in
the fall. and plowed under in the spring
to add ove apic matter to the soil. The
cover-crop problem varies largely
with locality, but for over winter pur-
poses there is one rule which is uni

growth ASfore freezing weather,
a Practice of Long Standing
The use of clover or some other
legume to enrich the soil is generally
considered a cardinal agricultural
practice in. the humid sections Of the
United {Ststcs. 1t antedatcs by three
fourths of q century the monumental
discovery that legume:S, store up nitro,

legumes and the nodule bacteria.

Japan clover and bur clover in the
south and crimson clover on the At
