KUDZU IN CROP ROTATION
Kudzu works well In a crop ro
tation, Soil Conservation Service
technicians point out. Because of
its value as a soil-building crop,
studies have been made to determ
ine the best method of returning a
field into cultivation. On one kudzu
! area where an excellent hay crop
was grown the year before, the en
tire field was plowed in the spring
after the residue on top of the
ground had been cut with a weight
ed disc harrow. Little difficulty was
experienced in turning the soil.
! rolling coulter was used on the plow
I beam. After settling for a few
the land was harrowed again
a disc and was planted to corn.

-BITS OF
Southern
Sunshine
By Mrs. Henry Odum
SUPPOSE
I walked today in the woodland,
Felt dew on the grasses sweet,
Today I went exploring
Away from the burning street
I waded knee-deep in shadows
1 And found a moss retreat,
The earth’s heart beat in pleasure
To the sound of tiny feet.
Small feet of wild life seeking
j It’s food in pair or herd,
As the brook sang a song of sum
mer
To the lilt of a mocking bird.
The hills and greening valleys
Grew lush with food to share,
The shadows waded deeper
Into the forest’s lair.
My thoughts and heart grew
frightened
| With agonizing fear,
Suppose that fire and hunters
Left no wild life to hear!
Oh, wouldn’t the world be empty
If we should shout or call
And there should be no answer
From creatures great or small,
