Improve Your Farm.

Every good farmer should try to i'm.
prove his soil each year. Unless you
add as much plant food as the crop
takes from the soil, every year your
farm gets poorer and your chances for
profit grow less and less. While on
the other hand, if you will increase
the fertility of the land year by year,
you increase your profits continually.
Hence rotate your crops Sow cow
peas aften grain. Turn them under in
the fall. Use barn lot manure and
compost made on the farm. If you
still need more plant food, buy a high
grade commercial fertilizer and judi
ciously feed all your crop plants, with
liberal hand, just as you feed your
live stock.
Feed to cattle cotton seed meal and
bulls and fatten same for market.
They will pay you profit and their
weddings will enrich your farm-Geor-
gia Agricultural Department.
