considerations: First, unlike cotton.
1t does not take twelve months in the
year to cultivate and harvest them.
III not needed at home the oats can
be cut and sold in June, for cash
to make the cotton crop. But by
ali means use pea hay with corn to
make balanced ration for farm
stock and rich manure pile to put
back on the land
Second, where oats and peas have
place in crop rotation it will make
the land and man rich faster than
any amount Of commercial fertilizer
to the land in cotton year after year
and do it much cheaper
In closing I want to endorse ali

1 attribute much Of my success TO
SEED selection. I have kept seed
patch seven years, and on this patch
have year by year planted my best
seed, selecting the seed from the
oest ears with view to good size
and quality and prolific type. I do
not believe that more than four ears
can be stfely made on a stalk, and
this can be done only under the most
favorable conditions. But If we make
four ears in the seed patch. and
breed the seed TO that type, the aver

run above two ears. This was the
plan J worked on, and it has come
out all right. believe I had the

be had. And I know the seed had
all the chance that I could give.
am now making plans tn show
what can be done profitably on 20
acres. I will make no promises, but
next year hope to be able to report
on yield Of 20 or 80 acres. 1 be-
lieve that We can do a great deal by
increasing our average yields all
along the line, and that the way to
do 1t is by the use Of prolific seed
stock, good manuring and faithful
and intelligent cultivation.

From the Progressive Farmer.

From the Progressive Farmer.
Messrs. Editors: Cotton is my
principal money crop. But I always
plant several catch crops, so if the
cotton should fail, 1 would have
something to fall back on for cash.
No one can fully appreciate the beau
ty of this plan of farming unit he is
caught. as l am this year, with less
than one-half Of cotton crop.
Every one who has been up against
1T like this knows how nice it is to
carry up to market load of produce
which can be easily turned into cash
at a good price.
My principal catch crop this year
was hay This is the way 1 made it:
Last fall / broke the land deep with
2-horse turn plow. After the first
good rain, narrowed in fertilizer and
drilled one and one-half bushels If
oats per acre. Cut these the last Of
May, in dough stage. After cutting
ana raking them, sOwed one bushel
of peas per acre on oat stubble and
piowed them in with one-horse turn
plow. Did not use any fertilizer un-
der peas, but they grew nearly waist
high. and as thick as could grow.
When the pods turned yellow | cut
them. Let sun until a little before
the leaves began to shed. Then
raked in windrows and hauled TO
barn. The first opportunity after il
had gone through heat. baled il and
stored In dry place. From the oats
and peas | cut three tons per acre of
as nice hay as l ever saw, at the cost
or $3.50 per ton, including seed.

cost per acre of $2250. Three tons
Of hay at $4,000 per ton. $4,000.

Judges aftt 6oar,ng the evidence
confirmed the -eport of the local
judges who measured the land and
the yield. This will settle the doubts
Of some, think.
Now, as to how / made the yield.
I did all could DO with the land
and the cultivation. / cultivated as
much as I thought the land would

fair chance; and ] spared nothing to
