Soil Saver Notes
Ten thousand Multiflora Rom plants are being distributed to cooperating farmers through the Culpeper Soil Conservataion District in Culpeper and Rappahannock counties. Soil Conservation Service technicians stated that most of the plants have already been allotted to farmers.
Multiflora Rose is used in developing permanent, living fences between fields, along wooded areas or to fence out wildlife areas from grazing. Rose fences are free** quently established adjacent to old wire fences and in several years entirely engulf the old fence. Th« plants are set in single rows, 6 inches apart. From local experience it appears that a normal thrifty fence iwill turn cattle in three years and hogs in four to five years. If the fence is planted . strictly for hogs the ^pacing should be 12 inches rather, than 16, thereby requiring less time to turn the animals.
Multiflora, as the name implies, blooms ov'er a lonf period during the summer. The flowers are small but colorful, appearing in clusters.
Fanners interested in establishing rose fences may contact the Soil Conservation Service headquarters in Culpeper for assistance.
