Value of Turning Under Legumes Pointed Out
Prof C B Williams head of the State College Agronomy Depart explains that turning under legumes yields the soil the fertilizer equivalent of 600 to 750 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre or 1404 to 200 pounds of cottonseed meal. He notes increased organic matter and nitrogen by about 40 percent per ton of dry material added, with 2 3 tons of dry matter supplying the soil substantially. Removal for hay reduces original nitrogen reserves and requires added acid and potash for each ton of material removed.
