Hairy Veteli I or
Soil Redintegration
1. The chief needs of the average
soils of Georgia and Alabama, from
a fertility standpoint, are nitrogen
and organic matter.
2. These needs can be supplied
most economically by the addition of
both summer and winter legumes
to the cropping system. Winter leg¬
umes should be looked upon primari¬
ly as soil building crops to be turned
under.
3. Hairy Vetch has proved to tie
the best winter cover crop for soil
building purposes. It has the follow¬
ing desirable qualities: (a) it is cold
t resistant; (b) it is adapted to prac
tieally all soil types; (e) it is not
difficult to plant; (d) it rarely needs
lime; (e) it ran l.e planted in the fall
and turned under in the spring in
time to plant either corn or cotton.
4 . Plowing under a crop of green
Vetch, which, if cured, would
made a ton of dry hay, per acre, will
add as much nitrogen to the soil as
is contained in 400 pounds of nitrate
of soda. A crop of this size is not
unusual where the land is well inocu
lated. As turned under green, it will
weigh about six tons, and will also
put into the soil as much organic
matter (humus) as there is in four
or five tons of stable manure; and
should practically double the yield of
corn on average land.
6. Inoculation is very essential
where Vetch is planted for the first
time. Most failures are due to the
Uck of inoculation. It is best to use
both commercial cultures and inocu
lated soil to insure inoculation. After
inoculating the seed according to the
directions directions (riven givtn on on the mt culture cuituri nark
age, mix the seed thoroughly with
anil taken from a field where Vetch
has been grown successfully. It is
very necessary to use enough soil
to coat all the seed well, but the
more soil used the better. Sow the
seed, and cover immediately. Sun¬
shine kills inoculation where seed are
left uncovered.
6. Timq of planting is important *
October is the month in which plant¬
ing should he done except in North
Georgia and North Alabama* where
planting may well begin September
twentieth. It is best to plant Vetch
following a good season.
7. Sow from 20 to 25 pounds of
Vetch seed per acre. Do not sow with
oats or rye for soil improvement
Vetch alone is better.
8. Vetch seed should be covered
from an inch to an inch and a half
deep on heavy soils, and two to three
inches deep on sandy soils. The seed
may be covered with any kind of
plow or harrow that will get them
in at the proper depth. Probably the
best implement for getting the seed
in at uniform depth and give inocu¬ :
a
lation proper protection, is the three
row grain drill, using the Cole Man
ufacturing Co. special Vetch plate
and narrow shovels or plows.
P. Except on land that has been
heavily fertilized, apply at least 400
pounds of acid phosphate or basic!
