ONE TIMELY ADVICE TO
\ THE MISSISSIPPI Farmers

yield of an acre by this late cultiva-
tion. We are in too much of hurry
to get through and lay by. The farm
er likes to think that his job is done
and nature must do the rest We are
largely founding our reform in agri-
culture on deep and thorough prepara'
tion of the soil, better seed, and shall
low, intensive cultivation, long contin-
ued. OF course it is necessary to
have the implements SO that we can
get over the ground rapidly, and the
man who has not the implements
should get them in some way imme
diately, for they will pay for them
selves in one year. We must also
have stronger teams, but that takes
time, and we will discuss that lit
tie later.

highways and fence corners are kept
free from weeds which distribute seed
on every hand. Sooner or later we
shall be compelled to make war on
weeds.
But do not fail to have a plan. 1t
is just about as wise to commence
building house without plan as to
run a farm without a plan, and the
plan must include improvement in fer
tility as well as in annual cropping.
! think one of the great failures in
American farming is lack of system
and an orderly way of doing things
Every man on farm should think at
least month ahead and get ready
and it would be better If he could
think year ahead, but woe to the
man who simply does what every day
brings to his hand. He is always in
trouble and short-handed, and some
how things happen to him and the
things that happen are on the wrong
side.

rest. The truth is that land frequent
ly loses more fertility by exposure
during the period when it is idle than
during the crop-producing period.
Then, too, in the Southern States, we
should take advantage of all that ma
ture gives us.
. The first progressive step to take
is to keep the land doing something
the year round, and we must COM
mence in the cotton field and corn
field. Last month | sent out a little
letter showing the advantage of plant
ing cowpeas in the corn. That is of
great Importance. While it detracts
nothing from the corn, it does give
crop Of great value for feeding the
stock in the fall and then it leaves in
the soil a large amount of vegetable
matter to feed the chops of the next
season. Two suggestions come here:
In the extreme South the corn is
harvested and the cowpeas can be
fed in time to put in a winter clover
crop, which should always be done,
If possible. But further North it may
be little late to do this, and it is
better in such cases to SOW between
the corn at the last cultivation GRIM
son clover, or rye and vetch. We gen.
orally use about three-fourths rye and
one-fourth vetch. After the corn is
harvested these crops will thrive
nightly and in the spring furnish a
large amount of material to turn under
and enrich the soil, or may be cut for
hay. Numerous cases in Virginia
and North Carolina have been report
ed to us where the crimson clover
yielded over two tons of hay per acre
and was cut in time to plow the land
for the corn crop in the spring. Some
farmers alternate and cut half the
plot for hay and the other half they
turn under to enrich the soil, alternat-
ing each year. Thus the amount of
food secured for stock was nearly
equal to the corn made during the
period when most farmers allowed
their land to run to weeds.

Seaman A. Knapp, special agent
he Agricultural Department, in
,e of the farmers cooperative
nstration work in Mississippi,
issued the following circular to
al agents and demonstrators:
1t at the closing of the corn seas
i'd in the midst of the cotton cul-
on, one lesson should be i'm
ed on every farmer, and that is
as a rule we lay by our corn
cotton too soon, provided we are
shallow cultivation. Deep culti-
n, of course, is damaging. But
cotton crop is greatly helped by
ntinuance of cultivation just as
as possible, and the best rule l
observed is to continue until
of the bolls begin to open. Just
ing as the cultivators are kept
ing the soil is kept stirred and
cotton plants keep putting on

under boil weevil conditions and
most equally important where the
weevil is not present. Sometimes

Rotation.

II we are ever to become great and
prosperous farmers and have thrift
everywhere through the country, we
must adopt some system of rotation
At least we must have a plan about
our farm so that we do not continue
to raise the same crop on field each
year. Soil dislikes to be put at the
same task every year just as much
as a boy gets weary doing one job
the year round. And this is the Sec
ond part of our proposition. The first,
as stated, is to plant something in
corn, and for that matter, in the cot!
ton, too, where there Is no manifesto
tion of boil weevil. OF course where
the boil weevil is present 1t is neces-
sary to plow the land early in the fall,
but where there is no boil weevil,
planting rye and vetch in the cotton
for the winter cover crop is an excel
lent plan. 1t does not hurt the cot
ton and it does great deal of good
to the land. In Texas, Oklahoma and
Arkansas, 1t is generally too dry at
the time the cultivation Of cotton is
| discontinued for the safe planting of
crimson clover or vetch, and under
the boil weevil conditions their growth
would be so small before 1t was neces-
IN hot Il l.
economic to use them even if the
planting was successful, but rye can
be put in deep enough to reach the
moisture and make a stand. Five or
six rows rather close together can be
planted in the middles at the last
cultivation. 1t better be drilled and
1t will make fair growth before win
ter sets in. The humus thus accumu-
lated is clear gain. But in the corn
we can always follow the planting of
rye and vetch. And here comes the
necessity for our second suggestion,
that we should do more than just ro-
tate for cotton and corn. For farms
that are eminently adapted to the
production of these plants it has been
suggested that fertility could be main
tanned by planting every third year
in cotton, then run two years to corn,
planting between the rows each year
some fertilizing plant like cowpeas,
crimson clover, or rye and vetch. This
would restore the fertility to such an
extent that we would probably get as
much cotton out of one crop planted
once in three years as we could get
out of the crop In two years. Some
farmers may be able to take a longer
rotation. If so, they are wise farmers
who do this. A four-year rotation is
an excellent plan where cotton 10
planted only once during the period,
corn twice and cowpeas and oats once.
Other rotations will suggest them
selves according to conditions. Ulti-
mately in cotton production the sue
cessful planter must establish rota-
tion which includes some pasture or
heavy-shading leguminous crop that
will kill out the weeds. One of the
most damaging things in cotton pro-
duction today is the presence of
weeds and grass. They so foul the
land, overawe and subjugate the young
cotton plants that believe about four
times as much damage is caused by
foul lands as by the boil weevil
However, we can never expect to re
duce this condition very much or
eliminate weeds and grass until our

:RIFIED STATEMENT

friend handed me booklet describ-
ing the Cooper remedies, and read it
through. 1 was greatly impressed
with Cooper's theory that the stomach
is responsible for a majority of all
ments, rheumatism included. He
claimed that stomach weakness, bad
digestion and poor appetite impover-
ished the system and made 1t an easy
prey to diseases Of all kinds, and that
if the stomach was restored to nor
NAL condition of health and strength,
bodily ills would disappear.
Next day I sent for treatment of
Cooper's New Discovery and began
taking it. The rapid manner in which
it corrected my trouble was a revela'
tion to me, and beat anything ever
heard Of In two weeks time l was
feeling so good that I retuned to work
and have lost no time since on account
of illness. The rheumatism finally
left me entirely, and my general health
is decidedly better than it has been
in years."
Rheumatism is a result of impure
blood, the primary cause of which is a
bad stomach. Cooper's New Discov
cry corrects the stomach and drives
disease from the system. We are
agents for the Cooper medicines in
this community. Hays & Field.
