to protect your soil... make heavy growth to turn under 
There’s no way to get your topsoil back after it’s gone... 
it’s just common sense to do everything you can to keep it where 
it belongs. 
Probably the part of your rotation most vulnerable to erosion 
is your corn acreage. No cornfield should be without the pro- 
tection of rye grass ...no other cover crop can equal its washing- 
prevention value. 
Rye grass also lets you use more of the rain that falls on 
your cornfields . . . it improves soil permeability, so rain is ab- 
sorbed, not shed. When plowed under, it adds organic matter 
to the soil equal to that in many tons of manure. This feature 
is of great benefit to the crops that follow on the same land. 
Se the quick-growing ability of rye grass helps discourage 
weeds. 
In cornfields, 20 pounds of seed to the acre is the usual sow- 
ing rate ... at the last corn cultivation. 
Rye grass is a versatile crop ... put it to use wherever pos- 
sible in your farming program. Potato growers make good use 
of its cover crop value. Orchard men, too. Use it in your garden 
after early vegetable crops. It’s a good idea to always have some 
rye grass seed on hand, for whatever soil protection job might 
come up.
