PU.NT LEGUMES
Winter Corn Crops Are Impor
tant As Soil Builders Says
Marshall
The two most important things be
fore Sumter copnty now are des
truction* of cotton stalks and the
•planting of winter cover crops, de
declared George O. Marshall, county
agent, today. Sumter’s soil must
must be made more productive, he
says, today, and the plantting of leg
gumes is the cheapest ’.vay to gain
this end.
“The Bank of Leslie,” says Mr.
Marshall, “has recently sent out
two circular letters dealing with
the following subjects: “Fall an 1
Winter Cover Crops” and “Destiny
Cotton Stalks Early.”
“These are probably the two m'w!
important items just ahead of t’.ie
Sumter county farmer outside of
the usual work of the fall. It will
mean a 90 per cent control of the
boll weevil in 1925 if the cotton
stalks can be cut down or ploughed
under before frost, or as soon as
the cotton is picked.
“An effort is being made to got
as manv farmers as possible to
■olant nt least a small acreage of
Hairy Vetch for soil improvement
purposes. Soil building is one of
our big problems. It the soil in
sufficiently productive, a profit i?
mere easilv assured.
“Hairv Vetch is one of our best,
-oil builders an.d {should be planted
luring the month: of October at the
-ate of 25 pounds of seed per acre
Inoculation of seed is necessary an 1
mav be purchased, at a cost of fifty
cents per acre.
“A desirable plan is to plant
Vetch in cotton fields where corn if
>o be planted next season: this will
enable the leaving of the Vetch un
'll it has made sufficient growth in
'lie spring to he of value. Th p r
’urn under and plant corn. It ma -
be planted between catton rows by
Ibwine seed and covering with scoot
er and scrapeharrew—or anv immi
