hays per acre ard the peas $500
pounds. or nearly four tons of excel
lent forage for the season.
II our planters would devote one
acre per nlule on the plantation to
hay, there would be no more hay
bought in this section If the money
spent for hay here during the last ten
years, put entirely out OF circulation
SO far as this section is concerned,
had been used in improving the plan
tations, draining them for instance,
what change would have been
wrought.
If this character OF hay is raised
and fed literally, one half of the
grain could be saved. We have fed
our mules no grain since the Goth OF
May, feeding only oat hay, and ex-
pect TO feed pea hay alone until break
ing begins in the spring
We are also growing successfully
alfalfa and red clover, the results Of
which will be reported later
Use only red rust proof oats and
sow in the fall from September Ist
to November Ist Other varieties will
very probably rust, and spring sown
oats will not yield nearly so much
We might add as an additional ar
gument IL favor On the above plan,
that an acre in hay can be hadled
with less labor than an acree OF cot
ton and also that the peas improve
the land
| admit that hfteen-cent cotton is
right attractive proposition, but so
is the number Of dollars per ton
which you have been paying for tim
othy hay multiplied four, the number
OF tons you can raise per acre, and
few dollors added because this hay
has a higher value for feeding plow
mules than has timothy.
