the winter cover crops will add
legumes, conserve tWWstUre and
keep down washing of soil during
the winter and early spring.
On the of the farmers in the
Polk County Soil Conservation
District who has planted soil
conditioning crops is L. S. Stan-
ford, chairman of the Polk Coun
Soil Conservation District
of Supervisors.
Mr. Stanford seeds all his cotl
ton land every year with el
Vetch and Singletary, peas or At
trian Winter peas. Following
winter cover crop, he seeds a poi
tion of this same land with Soy-
beans and harvests seed from this
crop.
Mr. Stanford reports that all his
Vetch and Oats are reseeding
this year on all his pastureland
where they were allowed to make
seed. He says that these Oats and
Vetch are really growing since the
rain the other day.
Also “Let’s not overlook the
fertilizing of our cover crops,"
says Mr. Stanford. This is very
Important since about 50 percent
of next year’s fertilizer needs can
be saved by planting a soil im-
proving crop.
Arnett Jones,„whp Jives three
Thiles east of rant "Blank, has
made a basic conservation plan on
his. home place. Soil Conservation
Service technicians working with
the Polk County Soft tfonservation
District assisted Jones in planning
and applying his conservation
practices:
Jones says he plans to rotate
his cattle on his small grain and
legumes and leave as much top
growth as he possibly can in or-
der to maintain a hardy root sys-
tem. Jones says use it, but don’t
abuse it, and you receive maxi-
mum efficiency out of your pas-
tures.
