trucking crops which derive their great est value from being placed upon the market in advance of the crop from any other type of soil.
 of the staple crops, corn and cotton are most universally raised upon the Nor folk sand in all of the areas where the climatic conditions are favorable to ,he. production. Oats are raised to limite1 degree as a summer crop in the more northern areas and as winter crop in the riore southern ones To limited ex- tent peanuts, bright tobacco, and even wrapper tobacco are grown in different lo- calities upon the Norfolk sand. The yeids are usually low. and the soil type cannot be recommended for the general production of these crops.
 Among the truck crops the extra eariy asparagus is probably the best suited of any to the Norfolk sand and is the most profitable It is also the chosen soil for the production of sweet potatoes. water melons, cantalopes, and the extra early Irish potatoes in all of the north Atlantic and middle Atlantic trucking regions. t is fairly well suited to the production O. extra early peas and beans for market garden purposes and for truck shipment Toinatoe: cucumbers, eggplant, lettuce and a few minor trucking crops are also raised to limited degree Among fruit
  which may be recommended for produc- ton upon the Norfolk sand To limited extent oceans have been planted upon this type in the middle Gulf section.
 The equipment of the Norfolk sand with buildings and with implements varies according to the uses to which the type is put and with the degree of agricultural development and prosperity of the section wit.-in which 1t occurs. In general, only the lighter work stock and the lighter implements are found necessary for the cultivation and management of this loose. inco1erent soil.
 For the improvement of crop yields upon the Norfolk sand probably the greatest benefit may be derived from the incorporation of added amounts of organ ic matter in the surface soil. For this purDose the winter cover crops, such as crimson clover and rye in the more north ern states; cowpeas, crimson clover, win te.' 1etch, winter rye, and winter oats in the middle Atlantic states, and the velvet bean, but clover, winter rye, or winter eats in the more southern locations may Test be used. Wherever possible the le- guminous crops should be employed for this purpose It is frequently desirable after blowing under heavy green ma nur;ng crop to apply lime to the extent of l5GO to 200o pounds per acre in order to promote the rapid decomposition of the organic matter within the soil.
 'Nhere stable manure is available from city sources it is extensively used for in creasing the crop producing power of the Nci folk sand, particularly in the trucking region

BOND ISSUE WILL

HEFL|N REPLIES
 ID MIR. RENN|E Shows How Crop Is Over estimated and Present
 Prices Are Too Low

Lafayette, November 7.-(Special.)- Congressman J. Thomas Hefin, mem Der of the publicity committee of the Southern Cotton congress, today issued the following reply to the recent inter view of President Rennie of Pell City:
 "Mr Rennie, president of the Pell City Cotton mills, in an interview in The Age Hecald of November 2, expressed the opinion that Alabama would produce one tenth of the American cotton crop and that the crop of this state would be l,4oo,- 900 tales. He overestimates. the state crop probably 100000 bales maybe more, but at least 100000 bales. That would leave the crop in this state at 1,150,000 bales, and if MT. Rennie is correct in his opin- ion that the Alabama crop constitutes a ten,h of the American crop, then we will have crop of 115oo, 0Oo bales, instead of the 14.6o0,o0o bales produced few lays ago at conference of the representa- tives of the American Manufacturers as- sociation, when they expressed the belief that cotton would sell for s1a cents per pcund this season.
 "'What ardently they wished
 They oft believed.
 And trying to fool others, l4
 Themselves deceived
 'It is to the interest of the spinner for the impression to prevail that there will be big cotton crop and 1t is quite natural for MT. Eennie to be bearlsh on the sub jcct Mc. Rennie cites as one of the causes for depression In the cotton market the war in China. This Is unfair, Poor old China That dim old empire has trou- bles enough of her own, And besides. a little while. ago we were told that the reason the American mills had consumed less cotton this year than last year was that our trade with China had fallen off, This was before the war. But they

Where transportation to northern mar kets is available the price of the Norfolk sand has risen to $50 or even $250 an acre where used for trucking. In other regions more remote from transportation

From the characterization of the soil as made by pr. Bonsteel 1t would natur- ally be suggested that the farmer who has this type of soil should make such experiments with it as might develop its varied or undiscovered adaptability.
 Experimentation with the soils of the south is just in its infancy The soil ex- perts at Washington can only analyze their chemical properties and review the expo iments that have so far been made on the actual soils. The resourceful and skilled farmer must discover the adapta- billty of the soil and prove its utility.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-11-08

or less favorably situated with regard to climatic environment, large tracts of the type may be bought at from 8 to 5 an acre, since the type is not usually recog- nized as of any high value for general tarpling purposes. In consequence large areas still remain unoccupied and unculti- vated. AS the demand for additional sup plies of extra early vegetables increases with t.l encreased growth of the cities there will still be found extensive areas of the Norfolk sand well suited to meet this demand.
 'The Norfolk sand must thus be char 5cterized as a special purpose early trucking or early market garden soil, and this will probably remain it's chief func- tion until different methods of tillage and possibly different staple crops may nave been introduced into the region where it is chiefly found."

GET ACQUAINTED WITH IMPROV.
ED TOOLS.
(The Progressive Farmer.)

(The Progressive Farmer.)
Messrs. Editors: The two-horse
pillow has been of most value in our
farm work. It takes from two to
three years to get the best results
from this pillow on a given piece of
land. The cutaway harrow is the
next most valuable. This tool should
be used often and can be made to do
a great deal of work. It should go
over all lands just before planting,
though it may have been used before.
The two next best tools for the one
horse farmer are the double-shovel
pillow and the Iron Age one-horse cul-
tivators.
With the two-horse pillow and har-
row, thoroughly prepare your land,
using the harrow just before plant
ing. It is good plan to use a small
tooth tool to go over the crop, either
corn or cotton, as soon as 1t gets up.
After this the double-shovel pillow and
Iron Age will do the one-horse farm
er more good than any tools I have
ever used.
II one knows how to use these
tools, he can cultivate his crop with
one-third to one-half the cost of the
old cotton-plow way.
I asked a farm hand why they did
not use a new two-horse cultivator
which saw standing under the shell
ter. He said: Because we amt
acquainted with it yet" MY friends,
come to think about it, that Is the
matter with most of us. We are not
acquainted with the best tools to pre-
pare our lands with. nor those best
suited to cultivate our crops with.
Let us get acquainted with our best
tools. friends. They will help us to
get some of that $500 a year profit.
Say, now Is the time to dig stumps.
Yes, dig stumps, as long as one can
be found by the point Of your two
horse pillow.
