six year process. The first year cotton
alone is grown ON the land, the second
year cotton and crimson clover, the
clover being sown when the cotton Is
worked for the last time; corn and cow
peas the third year, with a heavy
spread of rough stable manure; small
grain and red clover the fourth year;
red clover the fifth year, followed by
wheat and then peas the sixth year. A
person who knows anything whatever
about land would be convinced Of the
wisdom Of such a system of up-build-
ing if he were to see the fine condition
of Mr.. Brawley's farms.
Cotton is Mr.. Brawley's main money
crop. OF last years crop, he has al
ready sold 1874 bales. To produce this
crop he grows all of his home supplies.
Besides cotton last year he raised 88Sh
bushels of wheat; sufficient corn, oats,
barley, peas, clover and grasses for the
farm hands and stock; 5000 pounds of
pork; sold $500 worth of milk cows,
and sells 10 pounds of butter each
week. His purpose is to raise enough
for the farm and have a small surplus
of each product for the market.
This North Carolina farmer evident
ly farms with brains, and with a lib
eral use of brains makes farming pay
He mixes his own fertilizers and
saves Is to 20 per cent by so doing.
Animal farming enters largely into his
methods and the farm produces what
the family, the stock and the hands
consume and furnishes q small cash
surplus so that none of the cash re-
ceipts for cotton have to be depleted to
cover these expenses.

Production of Cotton at Less than
Three Cents Pound.

The Progressive Farmer, published
at Raleigh, N. c., has interviewed a
farmer who has become noted for
bringing up run down farms, and pro-
ducing cotton at less than three cents
a pound.
Mr. Brawley's method of improving
land is after this fashion: He takes
the poor land, sows it in rye with 200
pounds of guano and a tom of lime per
acre. The lime is put on in the winter.
In the spring the rye is turned under.
The lime keeps it from souring. After
the rye, cowpeas are sown with 400
pounds of acid phosphate and potash
per acre. The peas are moved and
the land is sowed in wheat and clover,
with 200 to 800 pounds of acid phos-
phate and potash. This gets the land
on it's feet again, as it were. From
this stage the land is improved more
and more by rotation of crops. Mr..
Brawley's system Of rotation is now

Florida's Salvation.

A FlOridian writing the Indiana
Farmer, says that since the peach trees
are killed in Georgia. and Michigan,
and the apple trees in Missouri, the Or
ange trees in Texas and Louisiana, cOf-
fee and vanilla plantations in Mexico;
we feel pretty well here. thank yOu,-
and where can we go to do better? The
people here are poor, have poor land,
but they saved their climate, good
health, oak grubs and pine timber, and
now for the ''yelvet BEAMS" they are
the salvation of Florida, 1 see hum
dreds of bushels being shipped. They
grow so luxurious as to kill out the
Bermuda grass and beggar weed. 1
have seen vines cover the ground knee
deep, and run up dead pine trees rs
feet. It keeps the little nigs hopping to
keep them pulled off the orange trees
tn bean hulls and chaff are worth $40
a ton for fertilizer, the meal makes the
little COWS give Jersey milk. Johnson
says he has to put gunny sacks over
his COW to keep the sun from melting
her down into butterine, and they say
another cracker rested in his bean
patch until the vines grew a quart of
beams in his pockets, and people here
are sowing them in the sand.
Velvet beans and cassava, Florida
product that the Florida Experiment
Station makes six times as prof table
as corn for fattening hogs, should
make Florida lands now going beg
ging at So an acre, the most famous
cattle ranches in the world. The velvet
bean and cassava can be made to do
the whole business in fattening cattle
and hogs, and the business would not
be at the mercy of the Plant System of
transportation.
The velvet beam will produce more
tonnage on sandy pine Florida lands in
seven months, than red clover on rich
Northern lands in two years. Cassava
will grow six times as much tonnage

as corn, and both are more than the
equivalent of clover and corn.
1T is possible, and we believe prob
able, that stock raising i'm Florida
through the velvet bean and other le-
guminous crops will he many times as
valuable as the orange crop ever could
have been, and that her oak scrubs,
with the aid of velvet beams and cas-
sava, and the "best climate in the
world" may yet parallel the Jersey

How to Take Care Of Grapes.

The following instructions as to the
care of grape vines are from Prof.
Henry, of the Wisconsin Experiment
station, and are worth careful ObServ-
ance:
1. Keep the vine limited to the post;
don't let it spread far enough to be in
the way Of the cultivator.
2. Prune in the fall or very early in
the spring. For the farmer fall prun-
ing is the safest.
3. Aim to grow at least four canes
or vines to each post. You cannot al
ways get so many by the third or
fourth year, but aim to get them.
4. Cut out the oldest cane close to
the ground each season, letting one
new, strong cane succeed the old one.
S. The three or four canes left must
bear the fruitwood. Leave at pruning
time three or four spurs of new wood
to each of three canes, and cut these
spurs back to two or three buds. From
these buds come the new fruit wood
which will bear fruit.
6. Guard jealousy to keep the vine
from getting top-heavy. Keep the
fruit wood low down on the plant.
Grapes grown near the ground are the
sweetest and best favored. 1t will be
seen that by cutting out one of the
canes each season there is no oppOrtu-
nifty to grow cold snags," which be-
come a puzzle to the grower, who does
not know what to do next with
them. All the summer pruning we do
is to go with a head shears through
the vineyard and clip the great leafy
cluster of vines on all sides into a
rather compact form.
Grapes grow anywhere with very lit
tie care. Trained to a garden fence,
to the side of the house, or anywhere
else where they can bask in the sun, a
good crop may be expected every year.
Even when a late frost kills the bios
SONS the vine will make a new start
and put forth new blossoms and bear a
crop.

railway company. The Goading and for
wardfng of cars HAS been under the SUI
perinitendence of H. HI. Richardson gen
eral agent of 1.-THE road and Messrs H M
Steele and p. B. Turpin. of the California
Fruit Transportation Company. The

cars by hand. Each crate was seprted
from THE next by "a space of two inches
Ito ALLOW of free circula tion of ttfe cold air.
and they were all kept in place by wood
en- laths mailed ito each crate.
The growers are loud in their praise of
the service THAT has been given, and all
state THAT they intend to increase their
acreage this fall. One grower, having ONE
acre of berries, says that before THE car
s'tarted he sold 800 worth of berries 10
callly. Since then he has shipped about
fOrty-five crates, netting him am average
of S. each, THUS realizing to dalte 1925
from his acre. and he has mot yet finished
shipping. Another states that before THE
car started he was heavily in debt, and
could not see his way Ito clear this off
He has shipped steadily by THE car, from
his four acre patch, and is now mot only
out of debt, but with a SNUG little sum
ITO his credit This YEAR the season will
be short, as two frosts in February cut
the bloom off. Next season tine growers
will prepare for cold, and cover their
rows during dangerous periods. The
Georgia Southern and FLORIDA Railway
will give them warming of comming frosts
by blowing six long WHISTLES
Tt has been suggested that portable "
shaped frames, covered with roofing pa
per, in sections about fifteen feet long, he
used to cover the rows. The covers would
cost about $500 per acre, but would last
for four seasons so THAT THE actual cost
per acre per annum would not be heavy,
and this expense would be amply repaid
by raising earlier berries, and more of
them.
The rates on THE Georgia Southern and
Florida during THE past season were so
low that the growers were enabled ITO
continue shipping to distant points about
ten days latter THAN from amy other Sec
'tIon of Florida. When prices fell, other
points had to ship to nearby points by
open express, and these markets soon be-
came flooded. During this period Geor-
gfa Southern growers shipped in solid car
lots Ito Cleveland, Indianapolis, Detroit,
Pittsburg, Buffalo and other points. Veg
