FARMERS WILL SOW URGE ACREAGE WINTER LEGUMES Many farmers in Baldwin county will *oon befein to sow winter gumes. Indications are that a large acreage will be seeded this fall. Al ready 10.000 pounds of Winter peas have been stored wLh the Boston Hatchery for delivery. A supply of vetch and other seed will be secur ed within a few days. Farmer* who have visited crops that followed any of these legume* this year realize that one crop of winter legumes plowed under will more than double the following crop. On the 'aimers’ tour to Perry and Fort Valley many farmp ’ visited where legumes were seeded last fall and in every case the re sults were outstand'ng. Last fall the Exchange Bank fi- -nnced fifteen boys to seed one acre to a wnter legume. These boyn have com following these legumes and those acres will make double tha yield of the land in the rest of the field. Due to the fact that a cotton plan will soon be announced for 1934 that will reduce the acreage that can be planted to cotton next year it is believed that the farmers will take advantage of this oppor tunity to sow this land to cover crops. Farmers wanting information concerning any cevcr crops shauld see some farmer who has been grow ing them or call on the County Agent who will be glad to assist them In any way possible.
