. Many old beliefs that moon

and (ound to be erroneous.
Dr. Karl S. Johnston, plant
physiologist, concerned himself
principally in the experiments
with the effect on plums of pol
arized light, thu rnys of which
vibrate in only one direction.
Moonlight Is sunlight which pol
arized in being' reflected from

CROP NEWS
EARLY ATTENTION
Plantings Should Precede
Harvesting of Prunes,
Agent Advises.
Cover crops should not be over
looked by Doujtlua county orchard
tats, according to County Agent .1.
Rolu ml Parker, and plantings
should be inada as early as pos
sible, preiorubly before prune bur
vest and immediately following
the harvesting nf pears. Planting
of cover crops in orchards will
bring two kinds of benefits to
many orchurdists this year. Those
who signed work sheets under the
soil conservation program and did
not plow under a green manure
crop this year may earn a benefit
of 2 per acre for the seeding of
the green manure crop, providing
the soil building allowance for the
farm has not been used up by oth
er soil building practices before
the actual seeding of the cover
crop.
Cover crops In orchards assist
hi maintaining the soil fertility by
increasing tlie organic mutter,
which In turn Increases the water
holding capuclty. Cover crops al
so prevent excessive loss of soil by
erosion and the loss of available
pluut food by leeching.
Various Types Needed
IMfforent soil type.4 will require
different cover crops to secure a
maximum growth of vegetation to
be plowed In under. Oats and
vetch or whiter pens and oats
usually gives besl results on the
more ferlilo hill and river bottom
lands, while rye and must aril
itHuully makes the best growth on
the thinner and poorer soils on
bench and hill lands.
The following are recommenda
tions of the rate of seeding for
different kinds of cover crops :
Common vetch, 4n (o 50 pounds
per acre: winter oats, HO pounds.
When winter or hairy vetch is
used, it should be seeded ut the
rate of 25 to ,1u pounds per acre,
with 50 to til) pounds of rye. Aus
trian winter peas seeded at 75 to
HO pounds per ucro has given good
results on the better soils. Where
cover crops have not given a satis
factory growth lu past years, win
ter rye seeded at the rule or tit)
pounds to 100 pounds per acre Is
recommended, and on such lands
a light seeding of hairy vetch with
the rye Is also recommended.

Sweet clover, as a soil building
nop. has proved Us value on the
K. J. Crawford farm at beady, A
group of farmers visiting the
pluntings on the Crawford farm
last Wednesday were told that
wheat sown on a field where sweet,
clover was grown for two years
produced 12a bushels of grain on
approximately three acres, or more
than double the yield of adjoining1
land upon which no legume bad
been grown.
Sweet clover in the fields view
ed also showed that It wus a crop
that would produce an abunduiice
of green summer pasture. Mr.
Crawford has been successful in
seeding sweet clover on hill and
black mud land when drilling ap
proximately 1,000 pounds of agri
cultural limestone with the sweet
clover early in the spring. The
lirst planting of sweet clover was
made by Mr. Crawford In tho
spring of 1935. In lU3t approxi
mately two acres was seeded on
laud on which alfulfa had been
drowned out during the previous
winter and now stands higher than
a man's head. The field is being
saved for seed, and Mr. Crawford
states that he plans on Increasing
bis acreage of sweet clover as fust
as possible.
Special equipment ia necessary
to seed sweet clover, and lime
stone, and it is expected that by
early w later a local implement
bott.se will have in stock a drill
which will permit seeding increas
ed acreages of sweet clover by
farmers in the county, and which
will enable seedings to be uitpie at
a substantial saving. Drilling the
sweet clover seed with limestone
at a rato of not more than half the
limestone required by broadcast
ing is putidblo by improved meth
ods. sum BUSY
