THE JEFFERSONIAN.

It is said that the measure of a farming
people can be taken by the extent of their
live stock possessions.
Observe, if you please, how splendid and
striking is the measurement of the fathers of
the SOS! The fathers of that glorious period
practiced rotation Of crops and general d.
versifcation
In 1860 the states mentioned produced 80
100 of bale of cotton per capita. In 1902
they produced 70-10O Of bale of cotton per
capita. In 1906 they produced $4,000 Of a
bale Of cotton per capita
Improved seed, improved cultural methods,
thorough preparation of the soil, higher fer
tilization are observable here as between 1902
and 1906
In 1860 those states produced 30.2 bushels
of corn per capita. In 1902 those states pro-
duced 17.2 Of corn per capita. In 1906 those
states produced 302 bushels Of corn per cap
tia.
Are not the facts just stated pertinent to
the campaign of education now in progress in
each Of the cotton states?
Those facts are full to overlooking with les
sons that can be made of great value by those
who chance to be studiously inclined.
Let us turn attention to the results
of 1906 compared with 1902. Thus, we may
ascertain the degree of progress made.
In 1906 we increased our corn acreage
evore that of 1902, just ten per cent, but
the crop produced was Is per cent. larger.
We made 10000 bushels of corn more in
1906 than in 1902
In 1906 our acreage in wheat was 159 per
cent less than in 1902 but we made crop
that was 6O.4 per cent larger. In short, we
produced 100000 bushels of wheat more
in 1905 than in 1902.
In 1906 we sowed to oats an acreage ten
per cent less than in 1902, but the crop har-
