Several Farmers In Distriet Are
Ready To Plant Summer Legumes
Several farmers and ranchers in
the Lower Clear Fork of the
Brazos Soil Conservation District,
are getting ready to plant summer
legumes, according to John Wil-
liams of the Soil Conservation
Service. Summer legumes are ben-
ficial crops in many ways. The.
improve production on crops that
follow them, production is often
doubled on ciops following a sum-
mer legume. They add valuable or
ganir matter to the soil which rs |
so essential for plant growth L"
gumes help open up the soil 'o
make it take up more water, and
hold more water for crop us ■
Summer legumes make a good c.i -h
crop when harvested for hay or
seed production, Williams said.
Sunnier legumes adapted to t'l -
diltrict or* cow poos and guar.
There are several adapted vantics
of com- peas including: Chinesa
Red. B'ack Fyes. Brabham, Whip-
poorwill, and others.
Guai has become a valuable sum-
mer legume since it's introduc-
tion into West Texas. Several
thousand acres are planted ea?h
year. Guar pioduces up to ten or
twelve tons of top growth which
11 mighty important in adding or-
ganic mattei to the soil. Other
crops following guar have shown
from thirty to sixty per cent in-
crease in production.
Any one desiring further infor-
mation about summer legume*
should contact his local soil con-
servation district supervisor or the
local Soil Censer vaUou Service
technicians.
