Legumes In
Rotation Increase
Crop Yields

The almost universal value of
Ilegumes for building up different
kinds of soils is being attested by
reports from ovdr the State of in
creased yields when legumes are
rotated with other crops.
Two farmers of different sec
tions in the eastern part of the
State have rdcently given a good
example of how their production
has increased when legumes were
utilized to improve soil fertility.
B. B. Howell. Of Edgecombe
county, rotates lespedeza with cot
ton. peanuts, and oats. In 1888 he
made 81 bales of cotton following
the growth of laspedeka as COM
pared with p bales in 1882 on the
same acreage. In 1882 the cotton
followed peanuts instead Of lespa+,
deza.
In 1888 he harvested 1871
pounds of peanuts per acre, after
thu soil had been built up with
while in former years he
had averaged about go pounds to
the acre.
He stand, 1.-The rotation bears
out fully my argument that I can
make just as much produce on the
land with two years. cultivation
with lespedeza as 1 could with
three years cultivation in the old
way. I thus save the expense of
one years cultivation and produce
the unit cost of production"
In 1929, Ralph C. Mason, of
county, decided, that he
wante higher yields ON fewer acres.
That year he started a rotation in
vatch was turned under for
soil improvement. Now he sows
and turns under s. acres of this
every year.
Before l began my rotation"
said Mason, II did we'll to mako
II bags as bushels) Of peanuts
to the acre. Now I can easily make
IS bags W bushels).'
He also said that it is much more
satisfactory to farm in this way
than to have the PLEASURE of cul-
tivating a large acreage of low
yielding land, as he did formerly.
