the farm in feeding the hay. But what
we are trying to do is to convince
the farmer a good systematic farm
ing and stock feeding will pay him
and improve his farm. The haphaz-
ard sort Of folks are unfortunately
numerous, n are always looking for
some one crop that they can plant and
make money out of, and trying to
abandon the crops that they could
make profitable if they would stick
to q regular system and farm. It
is well enough to tell these men that
it will improve their land to let the
peas remain On it, but with hay at
SIS a ton they are not going to do it,
though they might get the market
value by feeding it, and have the ma
nure as a profit. The hope of the
South is in the young men who are
getting better ideas about farming.
| believe that it is perfectly posi-
bic for a man to improve his farm
and make money selling peavine hay
If he farms in a good rotation and
supplies the land literally with phos-
phoric acid and potash. But few will
do it and will run their land down by
selling hay, and certainly the best way
to improve the farm is to feed all the
~rOughage grown on it, and any man
can gradually build up a herd of cat
tie if he will try. In fact. on many
Southern farms I believe hat stock
raising would be the most profitable in
dustry.

Bunlbfebee Cotton

Riding the other day down the Sea-
board line from Weldon to Raleigh,
I was panied to see that in most of
this section there had been 50 little
Improvement in the cultivation of the
soil. The whitish gray surface soil Is
still scratched over and the fields as
we passed made me wonder how many
of the formers made a living. for the
greater part of the cotton seen was of
the "bumblebee" class, and acres and
acres are needed to make a bale. /

to tell some of the farmers that right

progressive Farmer.)

A correspondent wants to know if
nitrate of soda will injure land that
has been in cotton for twenty years.
Here we have the same old notion,
the same old gambling on the chances
with some fertilizer to get a sale crop,
the same old practice which has kept
the land poor and the farmer, too.
Land that has been in cotton for
twenty years has been hurt about as
badly as it can be. The nitrate OF
soda applied last summer made the
plants grow a little larger. but Wheth-
er it increased the crop proftably IS
doubtful. If it is own IN top Of the
land. ii will be dissolved in a few crop
proftably is doubtful. The nitrate will,
as l have said, increase the growth
of the plant, and in this way Will en-
able it to draw more heavily on what
plant God is in the soil in the shape
of phosphoric acid and potash, and to
tina extent it may work injury to the
1ong-suffering soil which has been used
for twenty years as a place to gam
BILE on with fertilizers. This, as | have
said, is not farming, but gambling with
fertilizers on d dead soil instead of re-
storing the life to the soil by restor-
ing the humus through a good rota-
ton of crops. There is no profit in
growing cotton in this way, while there
is no crop in this country which car
be made more profitable than cotton
if the farmer farms right.
All over the South we find the same
state of affairs. One man writes to
me that he does not grow cotton on
his land every year, but rests it each
alternate year, But does the land rest
when let grow up in weeds and grass?
Is it not working as hard to grow this
crop as it would be to grow something
better? Land may get tired Of grow
Ing the same crop every year, for no
plant likes long to live oan its own
decay, and will inevitably get diseased.
The one-crop man may get a crop
through the aid Of the fertilizer, but
a large part of it belongs to the mer-
chant and the fertilizer man. who own
the one-crop man, and he will never be
a free mar till he goes to farming,
and uses the cheaper forms of fertil-
iZer to increase his pea and clover
crop and feeds these to stock so as
to have money coming in more fire.
Quently and get on a cash basis. Land
that has been in cotton for twenty
years cannot be hurt any more by any
fertilizer that you may use.
But depending on fertilizers to make
sale crops year after year on the same
land is a lottery purely, and like all
lotteries, the chances are against the
gambler.
Resting land in weeds and grass,
while better than clean culture every
year, is making a fine chance for grassy
cotton the next year, and is a sea-
son lost thai might have made a fine
crop of peas and clover. The best way
to rest land is to keep 1t busy grow
ing something of value to il, and his
growing crop is needed winter and
summer. Rye is about the only crop
that can safely be soWn now, but bet
ter rye than nothing.
