YOUR LANDS

FOr the last mont the heavy rains
sho4ld have taught every 1arnlln2
mar a lesson not soon to be forgotten.
Reports have shown that millions Of
dollars damage have been done by the
washing of hill sides in the Piedmont
section. in The CarOlinaS, Georgia and
farther west. This is all due to the
system of farming in the South. In
the North and West we never near
of lands being washed away by the
heavy ain
As you leave the hills of North Car
DINA and ave northWard you never
see the scared and quilted hill sides.
In Northern Virginia, where the hills
are steep and as subject to washing
as anywhere, We seldom see a gully
or wash of any kind Why? Be
cause hose people grow winter cover
crops of oats, wheat, rye, barley,
grasses and clover, also during the
spring and summer most Of the lands
are covered with some kind of grass
or green crop, which prevents wash
ing at that season of the year.
Throughout the North and West the
heaviest blowing is done in August
and September, which is usually from
eight to sixteen inches deep. This
deep blowing furnishes a reservoir for
rain that falls during the winter, and
together with a crop Of grass and
grain saves all washing or teaching.
IN the cotton States we follow quite
a different system of farming. In
the first place we have few winter
V crops, and therefore leaVe the
lands bare and exposed to all the
water hat falls in winter.
We do almost no deep fall blowing
to hold this water. Our principal
crops are cotton and corn, which re-
Qulre clean cultivation in spring and
summer, and leave the ground bare in
winter. In the early spring we can
not pillow deep, because the grass is
always wet, therefore, our prepara-
tlon for the corn and cotton crop is
only three TO -four inches in depth.
We had no humus to turn under,
because the ground was clean cult
waited, therefore,, the 3 or inches Of
our soil which has been we'll pulver-
lied, fills with water from the first
rains, and is heavily washed if an ex-
cess of water falls.
The lack of a deeper preparation
and humuS causes it to hold only a
small mount of the water that falls
alter these excessive spring and sum
mer rain falls.
~ few years of this kind OF farm
ing IS all that is needed to thoroughly
deplete the soil of it's fertility, and
leave our richest farms abandoned;
WASHED n quilted hillsides. We
cannot expect to remedy this system
until we begin to grow more grasses
ana winter crops, pastures. etc.
The cowpea has come to our rescue
and is doing much to change the
system OF farming. The roots of

While he does not say that the eXpe-

full that it will work out satisfactorily.
The paper workers are greatly IN

not entirely useless as stock food,

Paper-making wood is becoming
somewhat scarce, although there is
no such famine in the Northern woods
as some alarmists would have us be-
lievc. If, however, the government
succeeds in making good p out Of
cornstalks, the wood will last longer
and the price Of paper will not be ad-

would necessarily be restricted.
