Excerpt from Cover Crops The topic selected for study at this meeting is of the greatest importance to Texas. There can be no doubt that our State is losing tens of 'millions of dollars every year from failure to grow suitable cover crops during our mild winters. While the late summer and early fall drouths, the long growing season of the summer crops, and the ravages of insects offer serious difficulties to be met by those planting cover crops in Texas, it is nevertheless true that these difficulties can be overcome if attacked with intelligence and persistence. The discussion offered at this meeting will go a long way toward solving the cover crop problem in Texas. In addition to acquiring the general information given in the discussion below, it Will be necessary to make experiments in every locality in order to find what is best suited to the soil, climate, farm needs, and market facilities of that section. Each one should try out a fraction of an acre each in rape, one or more legumes, cereals, and winter root crops, in order to learn the best times and methods of planting and handling these crops and to find out which are best suited to his needs. It is much regretted that this subject could not have been presented in August. Unfortunately, the schools were then closed. When the rural schools are open nine months in the year and schoolhouse meetings are held twice every month, such important topics Will not have to be delayed two months waiting for the majority of our rural schools to open.

Excerpt from Cover Crops for Porto Rico Any quick-growing crop which will make a thrifty top and root growth and will not, if it escapes cultivation, become a weed, may be used as a cover crop. In most localities of Porto Rico any such crop is preferable to clean cultivation. The selection of the plant will depend upon its resistance to disease and insect enemies, its vigor in seasons when desired, its habits of growth, and what it returns to the soil. Since nitrogen is an expensive fertilizer element and one which is present in comparatively small quantities in most Porto Rican soils, the choice will be from the number of leguminous plants which, in addition to the good qualities of other plants used for cover crops, have the power of storing in the soil nitrogen which they take from the atmosphere. The selection of legumes suited to the peculiar needs of the fields in which they are to be grown is of great importance in Porto Rico, as there is a great variety of soil types, a wide range of rainfall for different sections, and a great difference in the length of the growing season and habits of growth of the different plants, [which suit them to a peculiar condition. Soils devoted to horticulture here are of two general classes - the light, sandy types, and the heavy, clay loams. The surface of both is subject to drying out quickly when rainfall ceases, and should be protected from the intense sun heat throughout the long summer. Vegetable matter is needed for bind ing the sandy types, for loosening the heavy ones, and for enriching both, and. A Vigorous grower should be planted to supply it. The heavy soils are, as a rule, poorly drained and require a crop that will thrive under such conditions, while those for sandy areas must resist the short, intermittent droughts and be capable of sending out a large root system which will enable them to thrive where the fertility is low. An extensive root system is needed also to prevent surface wash ing which in every locality results from the heavy rains.

Excerpt from Weekly News Series, 1936 The summary shows that in approximately 250 comparisons of yields made between cotton grown following a cover crop and cotton grown without a cover crop, but otherwise under identical conditions, the average yield on the land where no winter cover crop was used, was 264 pounds less of Seed cotton per acre than the average yield of pounds produced on the land where the winter crop was planted, says. Austrian peas, vetches, clovers, rye, and oats were the cover crops used in these tests. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Southern Field Crops, (Exclusive of Forage Plants) For high-school use, the matter may be further abridged by the omission of the study of those particular crops that are unsuited to the locality. College students are expected to prepare all the matter in this book, including that in fine print, and all Exercises. Their instructors will probably assign additional work on the crops of chief interest to the locality. These additions will usually take the form of supplementary lectures and of collateral reading selected from the literature cited under each crop. It is scarcely necessary to point out that the use of a text book to afford at least the outline of the subject - matter on crops will enable the student to cover much more ground than would be possible if he relied exclusively on lecture notes. The use of a textbook is also advantageous to the instructor, since it permits him to devote a larger proportion of his time to supplementary lectures, which will direct in creased attention to local problems and practices, suggest methods of agricultural investigation, and discuss the most effective methods of teaching the subject of agriculture.

Excerpt from The Agricultural Utilization of Acid Lands by Means of Acid-Tolerant Crops In sand, however, there 1s no such acid neutralizing substance, and both soil and leaves remain in an acid condition unfavorable to complete decay. The next year a fresh fall of leaves brings a new accession of acidity, and the acid condition of the leaf litter becomes permanent. In a sandy oak or pine woods there is thus built up a tough mat of upland peat often several inches in thickness, com posed of half-rotted leaves interlaced-with the rootlets of trees and underbrush. -'such peat mats arealways acid, like ordinary bog peat.

Excerpt from Our American Land: The Story of Its Abuse and Its Conservation Dense plant growth helps to slow down this soil movement. This gives nature time to replace what little soil is removed by erosion. Nature does this by constantly forming new topsoil from underlying subsoil and rock. This slow process, known as natural erosion or geologic erosion, goes on unnoticed over hundreds of years. This type is not dangerous usually; it may be beneficial to man and the earth. Many fine agricultural areas have been formed in this way. But where land is cultivated or left bare, another and faster kind of erosion occurs. This is accelerated erosion, and it is caused by man's carelessness. When land is cultivated there is no dense growth of plants to protect the soil, and erosion may be a thousand times faster than on protected land. Accelerated erosion damages grasslands when the grass is thinned out by overgrazing. It damages woodlands left bare by overcutting, overgrazing, and burning. This is what we now know as soil erosion, and unless it is checked, it may ruin most of our good land. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Soil Management for Intensive Vegetable Production on Sandy Connecticut Valley Land Since the 20-ton manure treatment more than maintained the original organic content of the soil, it is reasonable to suppose that a lighter applica tion would have prevented any decline. The data are not sufficient to reveal the minimum rate of manuring needed for exact soil organic matter stabilization. However, under the program of intensive cropping without green manure or cover crop used in these trials, it seems likely that 16 tons of manure per acre per year would prevent any decline in soil organic matter. It should be understood that this is based on' results on a light sandy soil containing approximately percent of organic matter. A summary of relative yields in manure and fertilizer comparisons for all crops grown for more than four seasons of these trials is shown in Table 5.
