to press upon your mind the idea OF

cradle. In the spring, at exactly the
right time for planting cotton, the
land is listed up, leaving a balk in
the middles, to mature clover seed
on. A good stand of cotton is OBJ
tanned, and it is worked until the
clover seeds and dies, when the mid
dies are broken out. With very little
expense, then, we may have all OF
our cultivated lands in a pasture and
cover crop, and in this way entirely
compensate for the great tendency
Of Southern lands to lose their hui
mus, and to wash and leach. To show
the great harm that heavy rainfall
and teaching may do lands, ] need
only to mention the fact that in Mis-
sissippi and the Southeast generally,
sandy lands are most always natural
ly poor. In west Texas, where the

member time, as boy, when a car

the use of commercial fertilizers be-
come universal. and l have seen the

a yield of one-eighth of bale of
cotton, yields went up to one-third,
one-half, three-fourths. and a bale
of cotton to the acre. Two dollars
invested in fertilizers often raised
$40 to $40 in value.
It was soon found that using q
moderate quantity Of commercial fer

to year helped the land to wear out
slightly faster than it would have
done II no fertilizer had been used.
It was found that the very best re-

commercial materials with barnyard

some other scheme for keeping up

To practice this rotation on all Of
