UNCLE SANS SCENTED FIELD
THE OLD GENTLEMAN IS EN-
COURAGING NEW INDUSTRY.
Raising Flowers for Perfumes May
Bring Sweetness and Money. Rare
Varieties NatuPaliZed.

In a few years the department of
agriculture, which has so, Justly
earned for itself the excavations of
the fruit growers of Europe, may
have done to the perfumery business
of'the world what it did to the for
eign fruit growers. Then weawould
be able to indulge in little walks
through fields of heayy-scented roses
and Towering jasmine, and all the
other sources of the worlds per-
fumes which are now SO extensively
farmed abroad; and we would know
that these were our own perfume
fields, our vast flower industries.
This is no wild dream The heavy
scented Damascene roses, from which
Bulgaria annually derives more than
$1,000 900 worth of altar of rose
has been naturalized here. In
the south conditions of climate are
especially favorable, and labor is
likely to prove cheap enough to in
sure a measure of success.
Lavender, on the other hand, calls
for very little labor, because the
whole top Of the plant is distilled.
1t grows in the semi-mOuutainOus
districts Of France, Italy and Eng
land, and it ought to grow just as
well on corresponding levels here.
Then there's the rose geranium
with exquisite Odor which supports
its thousands of growers in France,
Spain, Algiers and Reunion Island.
Practically the whole plant is distfll-
ed, and its essential oil is simply in
dispensable in the manufacture of
perfumes
And there are such sweet herbs
as rosemary, thyme, sweet basil
summer savory, sweet marjoram-
whole round of sweetness per-
Tuning the shores of the Mediter-
ranean-that are bought both bv
perfumers and manufacturers Of
toilet preparations, all of them
adapted to this country. Then there
are beTgamOt, mint, tuberose, las
mine and the entire range Of flowers
agreeably Odorous, all awaiting the
gentle hands Of women, or if the
enterprises proceed on the scale on
which we usually do things.

Comment by Editor of Cultivator.

The above is one of a dozen such
letters we have received recently.
We certainly do not want to see the
interest in corn growing diminish,
and We are anxious to do anything
we can to increase it. 1t is more
important this year than ever for
two reasons. Cd We have gotten
q good start in making record Yields,
and CD there will be a great in
crease in the cotton acreage, and the
price will be lower; so we will need
more corn to keep what money we
do get at home instead of buying
corn WITH it.
Now, as to our comments on the
corn plans. To give five or six diff
ferent plans would be too long for
an EDITORIAL; so we will content our
selves with giving the essential
points in making large Yields of
corn, and each party can modify
these to- suit his views and condi-
tions.
First comes deep preparation of
the land. Now, you can use trac-
ton engine, disc pillow, two-horse
turner, middle-buster, scooter and
two Johnson wings, or a common
turner, followed by a scooter pillow,
as your condition may demand. You
can break the land, hard-bed or sim
ply lay off and subsoil The furrow
and the list burrows The main
thing is to get the soil deeply broken
where you are going to plant your
corn.
2. Distance to have your rows.
Many think corn has TO have dis
lance at least one way. When yo1
intend planting a row of peas or
peanuts in the corn this is essential
so they want rows six feet wide,

RAISING BEEF N TIE SOUTH

Experts Investigate Conditions Here
and Give Reasons for Cattle
Raising in the South.

RAISING Ill ttit ''ONNAA'
WASHINGTON, D. C.-That the
south possesses untold opportunities
for money making in cattle raising
and beef production rs the opinion
Of Dan IT. Gray and w F. Ward OF
the department OF agriculture. Re-
cent investigations made by them,
while mainly in Alabama, afford
much valuable information tor al!

Important matter they say:
"At the present the south pro-
duces but a small proportion OF the
meat that her people consume, IN
Alabama there are but $4,000 head
of cattle other than milk animals,
or in other words, there are but Il
head of cattle in the state to eacn
family If no outside meats were
shipped into the state this supply
would be quite inadequate for the
needs of the people. There is, there
fore, a wide field for the southern
farmer who wishes to produce beer,
There are many reasons why the
southern states should raise more
beef cattle. First, the south, under
the present system of farming, mas
thousands of acres of land, and good
land. too, which are not being used
at all. Statistics tell US that only
40 per cent of the tillable or arabic
land of the south is being used. Six
ty per cent of the land is lying, and
returns to the owner not a cent in
wealth. All the lands cannot be used
as cotton lands because first, there
are not enough people to work the
lands in any such way, and, second,
many of these acres are not suitable
for cultivation. In fact, many acres
that are not now under cotton Guilt
walton should be turned in to perma-
nent pastures and grazed with i've
stock. No state can become wealthy
when only 40 per cent Of the land
capital is being used. The grocer or
the banker or the hardware mer-
chant could not possibly make a
profit on his business if he used only
40 per cent of his capital, and the
farmer cannot hope to be successful
in his operations until he begins to
make use OF at least a reasonable
proportion Of his capital.
To Keep Money in South.

A SURPRISING INTEREST nv
GEORGIA FARM DEVELOPMENT

Never before have | seen such
eagerness to learn practical farming
as is demonstrated on the present
trip of the agricultural train" Col.
Samuel G. Dunlap, commissioner of
the Georgia Bureau of Industries, is
quoted as saying. Continuing he
said:
Throughout the entire country
we have visited the most modern
agricultural implements are being
used; stock is Of a high grade, and
is in first-class condition. The far
mers themselves look prosperous.
Their craving for knowledge of mod
ern methods is in itself justification

in this trip Of so days.

beef cattle serve as important ma
chimes for converting the surplus
folders into valuable barnyard ma
nure which gives to the growing
crops not only the benefits of it's
fertilizing elements but enhances the
natural condition of the soil by the
addition Of that important com
pound, humus. No animal can take
the place of the beef steer in max
ing use of the winter corn and cot
ton fields.
Suited to SOuth's Farms.
Finally it may be said that beef
cattle are pecu iarly suited to fit in
the farming operations Of the south
The farms are large, and many acres
are not being used because of the
lack Of sufficient labor At present
there is no better way to put the
whole farm to work than by intro
ducing beef cattle into the system
of farming. They require but
small amount of labor in addition
to that used upon the average cotton
farm9 The hog, VIII lie deserving a
prominent place upon almost every
falm,, cannot be made to use all of
the large uncultivated acres on the
farms, as he is not strictly a graz
ing animal. Many farmers who have
arge%uncultiyated acres are not now
sufficiently skilled in the handling of
live stock to introduce sheep or dali
ny cattle as these branches require
morer skill in stock management
than the beef business. Then, too,
the dairy business requires an in
crease in the amount Of labor used
upon the farm, and the labor item
is one that many farmers are trying
to solve.
Why South Should Produce Beef.
Prof Gray and Mr., Ward present
four good reasons for raising beef
cattle. There is a fifth reason for
the extension of the beef cattle in
duStry in the southern states which
directly concerns the country at
large, namely: the absolute neeessi-
ty for the country to increase it's
supply of beef. No more striking
fact is shown by the statistics of the
industry Of recent years than che de-
crease in the supply of beef in the
Ou1JGu States. DGeI CdLAIe appear
to be decreasing in actual numbers
and much of the land formerly de-
voted to beef raising is being used
for other purposes. AS a conse-
! quence beef is high and is going
higher, the amount of beef exported
is falling off, and unless some relief
appears beef eventually will be
come a luxury.
/ There are two ways of increasine
the beef supply-by raising more
beef in the United States or by i'm
porting it, The idea Of relieving
the situation by importing beef is
repugnant to many, and an exten.
on Of the home industry must be
found if possible. The results pre-.
scented show that home production
offers the solution The land is here
to be used With the tick extermi
nation progressing so satisfactorily
