A WORD FROM A CROPPER.

Dear Sir:-Being a reader Of your
two JeffersOnians, | have read with
interest the piece on the Half Crop
per-" The renter does not get credit
for all he does; there are some trif-
ling renters, but not all. l appeal to
the landowner to help the renter.
The owner of land does not put con-
fdence in the renter; he will sell him
ratlons at eXtOrtiOnate prices, or go
to the merchant and make arrange
mentS with him to furnish him with
rations at what he claims cash prices,
and then charge him ten per cent. in
terest. If the land owner would loan
him the money he could buy provis-
ions for lot less. This lack of con-
fidence has kept many man poor.
Brother renter, I call on you to help
keep up the farm; you are afraid to
tack on board, for fear you won't
stay but one year; you won't put out
fruit trees; you say, 81 don't know
whether l will stay but one year." If
all would fix up where you live, when
you moved you would lose nothing.
I've made it a rule to build up in
place Of tearing down; l would rather
leave a place improved by me. l have
built houses; get the use of them
while | stay. I've known renters
who would not cover a we'll shelter,
and would rather buy a rope every
year, because the owner would not
pay them. Respectfully,
Statham, Ga. J. A. WALL.

THE SMALLER FARM.

How to make the farm more pro-
ductive, the farmer richer and the
cost Of living to city people less than
it is, is pretty we'll solved by Kan
san, according to the Kansas City
Star, which says:
George Logan farms fifteen acres
near Crane. He farms it so we'll that
last year he received $5,400 for his
vegetables and fruit. These fifteen
acres are part of the $40 acres his
father tried to farm with the aid of
family of boys, and the $40 acres
never produced as much in one year
under the old methods as the fifteen
acres yield under the new.
Never has there been such impetus
given to agricultural education as in
the last few years. Many new schools
have taken the subject up, farmers
institutes are preaching the doctrine
of more scientific farming and great
er yields, and the newspapers and
magazines are making it clear to
every one who can read display head
ings that the farms the place from
which success beckons to every young

GARDENING NOTES.

Take up all rubbish and burn it
before drawing on the manure. Plan
the garden with long rows so it can
be cultivated with a horse. 1t is not
necessary that one vegetable shall oc-
cupy whole row.
Build hot-bed or cold frame and
start early getables-tomatoes
cabbage, lettuce. Radishes can be
grown for early use in cold frames
with little labor.
Give the garden dressing of we'll
rotted stable manure. Additional ma
nure or fertilizer can be added as
needed when planting.
Does the garden contain a straw
berry bed, and are there a few rows
of black-cap and red raspberries,
blackberries and currants along one
side? If so, the old wood should be
taken out and the laterals trimmed.

ras he had cast aside The new seed
proved true till the fourth year, when
sprOut was discovered in the grow
ing Honduras entirely different from
it. This Mr. Link propagated. He
found it's yield and richness in juice
second to no other, and it's syrup
freer from the twang in flavor, some
times present, than any he had ever
made. Thereafter, he made a spe-
cialty of the hybrid. Mr.. Link passed
into the beyond number of years
ago, but his son, Mr.. Robert Link,
continues to grow his fathers favor
ite cane near .Greenville, Tenn.
Regardless of the seed-bearing va
riety, it should be planted, for the
best results, in rows four and one
half feet apart, checked two and one
half feet. Approximately, a fertil-
izer that will analyze 1923, will
supply the requisite plant food. Use
800 to 400 pounds per acre in drill.
Muriate of potash preferable Hav-
ing distributed the fertilizer, throw
two burrows and knock off with a
board. At each check, with eye of
hoe or heel of shoe, make an linden
tation about three inches deep, drop
into the same as many seed as can be
taken up with thumb and second fin
ger, cover and press with foot. That
is a very troublesome procedure,
some will say. There is no such
thing as troublesome" in making
thorough preparation for any crop.
1t is painstaking that will guaran-
tee perfect stand, the seed being all
right.
When the plants make their ap-
pearance, they resemble crab grass
and make slow progress because
roofing is under way. That mis-
sion accomplished, the plants will
grow a-shouting. Cultivate as corn,
rapidly, lightly, level. Four pounds
of seed will plant an acre as indi-
Gated. Ninety days from the day the
seed is dropped into the earth the
seed-tufts will be perfect and the seed
in the dough state, ready to be har-
vested
Where the cane is grown with a
view to syrup, do not use any stable
manure. When the latter is used
under crop for forage, apply per
acre in the burrows two to four tons.
At each check, drop a single handful
of muriate of potash. Throw two
burrows, knock off with a board.
Plant seed as suggested in the fore
going. Do not cut for any purpose
until the vegetable wax-a sugary
substance appears on the stalks, and
the seed-tufts are about to appear.
Up to the time when the vegetable
wax shows itself, the plants are alb
sOlutely green, not any more suitable
for food for cattle than green peaches
for man.
Cut at the time stated, the cane
can be as easily and as quickly cured
as any other forage plant. 1t may
be stored in barn loose; better still,
baled and stored or sold. True econ
omy suggests the baling of all forage
crops.
This is year in which an extra
large acreage should be seeded to
some one or more of the varieties of
saccharine canes I have mentioned.

SOME FORAGE PLANTS OF VALUE


There is a wealth of forage plants
in this country. Among them, there
are none that are superior, or in
many essential respects, equal to the
varieties of sorghum which have
been tested and which have proved
their value. In point of fact, it is a
misnomer to call either Links Hy-
brid, Amber, Orange, or any of the
saccharine producing canes, sorghum.
They are as far removed and as sep
arate from sorghum, known South
during the Civil War, as it is posi-
BILE to imagine.
The Government particularly while
Mr.. LeDuc was Commissioner of Ag-
riculture) and the experiment sta
tons, directed effort for several
years to making sugar from the va
rieties of cane mentioned. The efforts
put forth were fairly successful.
Had the Government addressed itself
to the manufacture of high-grade
syrup from the cane, results highly
beneficial to the people would have
been developed. 1t is fact, that
from either of the canes mentioned,
especially Links Hybrid, 200 to 400
made per acre.
There is an additional fact, name
ly, that at least 80 bushels of seed
per acre can be harvested from the
cane just at the time it is richest in
the syrup-yielding juices. The seed
are next to wheat in nutritious value.
Another fact: 1t is not necessary
to strip the cane in order to prepare
it for the mill. The leaves will not
discolor the juice. The waste cane,
called bagasse, retains 80 per cent. of
starch. Properly cured, it is equal
to the very best cured corn-fodder.
In 1879, Alexander H. Stephens
observe that no title is necessary to
locate that most distinguished Geor-
gian, an intellectual giant in the days
of giants-sent me from Washington
a package of Amber cane seed. I ex-
perimented with the seed, and be-
came greatly interested in the sub
ject. From time to time, I tested by
crops the several varieties at that pc
riod most at the front I studied
and experimental with the canes with
view to the production Of forage.
In every instance, the results won
were more than satisfactory as to the
quantity of fodder and of seed OBJ
tanned per acre. The former was new
er less than 5000 pounds of cured
forage or the latter less than 80
pounds of prime seed per acre.
After careful tests, I accepted
Links Hybrid as the best of the sew
eral popular varieties.
In 1907, at the Georgia Expert
ment Station Links HVbrid Amber
Orange and Kennedy's Improved AM
Der were compared. The yield in
green food per acre was as follows:

A word as to seed selection and

will interest your readers to know
just how Mr.. Ephriam Link, of
Greenville, Tenn, discovered the cane
which the, national Department of
Agriculture named for him.
Mr.. Link begun with Honduras,
which he purchased in Mississippi.
He was so pleased with that variety,
he discarded all others. 1t remained
seemingly pure for several years. In
1879, he noticed in his crop a good
many heads which indicated mix
ture. He at once sent to Texas for
a renewal of seed. The new seed
gave a pure crop, ripening two to
three weeks earlier than the Hondu-
