Jones County Suggestions in State Soil Conservation Report
The Iowa state agricultural conservation committee backs Jones County proposals to use small grain nurse crops with legumes or grasses and set a soil conserving base per farm. Seeding in 1937 of biennial legumes or perennial grasses will be classed as soil conserving if done to good practices with verifiable proof. A nurse crop may accompany the legume or grass and be pasture hay or rain harvested, but must not be plowed up in 1937.
