 various rapid growing legumes which will 

 add humus and nitrogen to the soil. 

 Such a crop will also prevent washing out and 

 leaching during winter. The time to plant is 

 the early fall in order to secure germination 

 before frost. The seeds may be broadcast, or if 

 the last of the crops has not been removed, 

 sown between the rows. In April or as soon as 

 the ground can be worked, spade under and mix 

 it well with the soil. Seed may also be sown 

 in the spring or summer if the plot is not wanted 

 for early crops. If sown then, the plants should 

 be allowed to attain a growth of about a foot 

 in height before being spaded under. 



Sow at the rate of 1 pound for 1,000 square 

 feet.
