FARM SEEDS BeckerVs Seed Store, 101 and 103 Federal St., N. S., Pittsburgh, Pa. Miscellaneous Grain Crops and Soil Enrichers Secure Greater Yields of Vegetables or Farm Crops by Using Green Crops Instead of Manure The use of leguminous, or nitrogen-gathering forage plants as a means to replenish soil fertility has increased by leaps and bounds. There are weighty reasons for this. One in particular is that green-manuring crops increase the moisture-holding capacity of soils and lighten heavy clay soils, as explained by the United States Department of Agriculture. The New Jersey Experiment Station calculates that two crops of green manure contain as much phosphoric acid and potash, and nearly as much nitrogen and organic matter, as 20 tons of stable manure. Although the potash and phosphoric acid are stored in plants they become quickly available after being plowed under. If the green manure used is a legume, nitrogen is added to that already in the soil. Moreover, it is expensive to handle the stable refuse, while the green-manure crop can be grown directly on the impoverished land, and be plowed under when ready.
