Euer Tuy, a Couer Crop? 
Some portions of your vegetable 
garden will probably be unused 
during part of the year. It’s a good 
idea to sow a quick growing cover- 
crop such as a combination of win- 
ter oats and vetch, or winter oats 
and rye, in these idle spaces. When 
planting time arrives turn your 
cover crop under to obtain the 
benefits of the humus and plant 
food stored in the green plants. If 
you have never tried cover crop- 
ping you'll be surprised at the re- 
sults. Even stiff clay soils are 
noticeably improved by the use 
of a cover crop.
