Soil in Excellent Condition
For Seeding of Crimson
Clover.
•
The recent rains have put the soil j
in excellent condition for the seed
ing of Crimson Clover. If chaff seed
are used they should be broadcast
over the land without any prepara
tion to the soil. If this is the first
time this clover has been seeded on
the land, inoculated soil from a
field on which clover grew last year
should be broadcast over the field
at the rate of about 400 pounds per
acre.
Where it is desired to get seed
paich of clover started on the farm
we would recommend sowing 50
pounds of chaff seed per acre and
j | covering the land with stable ma
nure. This nearly always gives good
results.
Seed oats as soon as possible.
Treat the seed for smut. Mix one
ounce of Formaldehyde with two
gallons of water and thoroughly
moisten the seed with this solution.
! Pile into a heap and cover with
sheets and allow to remain for at j
least 4 hours or over night and sow
Another formula that some like i.« ;
to mix a pint of Formaldehyde with
a int of water and the seed as they
are turned with a shovel. This works
fine and after the spraying the,
seed should be piled and covered
and allowed to remain for four
hours or over night, If you prefer to
use one of the arsenicals such
Ceresan that will work effectively.
Be sure to figure your corn yield,
per acre and the cost per bushel and
se e if you could not feed your work- !
stock cheaper by using oats.
Under the 1939 farm program you,
get R class two payment for soil
building practices such as seeding
winter legumes. This payment may
be fairly accurately figured by each
farmer . T ake the cotton acreage al
i 0 , men t from the cultivated land
and multiply this figure by seventy!
cents and you get ihe dollars you I
can earn as class 2 payments. This;
