NORTHERN ARIZONA
 LOOKS GOOD
Has Dry Farming Possibilities Says Prof. J. D. TinsIey Back From Month s Horseback Reconnaissance. a'

There is some magnificent country in northern Arizona in- cluding large areas that ought to make ideal dry fan ming country, :" said Prof. J. D. Tinsley. agric1lt- ural demonstrator for the Santa Fe railroad, who returned yester- day from Mountainair. Prof. Tinsley before attending the development conference, had just returned from months inspec- tion trip on horseback and by wagon through the northern Arizona country tribuntary to the Santa Fe. T ate part of my meals off the back of a wagon and part on the hurricane deck of a bronco. said Prof. Tinsley Tn describing his trip.
 The above was taken from the Albuquerque Morning Journal. It was with MT. c. E. Perkins, of Holbrook, Prof. Tinsley was travelling and it was from Holbrook they travled. The Prof. might have mentioned these facts. We know and every one who comes here and looks the country over near Holbrook must admit it is about the finest coun- try in the United States. It is the finest climate in the world. We expect to have more to say about this tip made by Prof. Tinsley and MT. c. B. Perkins.

Carolina Farmers Union)
In the production Of some kinds ..
products the American farmer is
forced into worldwide competitions
but it isn't true of the production OF
cotton. A few Southern States hold q
natural world monopoly. In the pro-
dictlon Of cotton we make something
the world needs and must have, and
for which there is no substitute except
AZ relatively high cost. No other sec
ton Of the world can produce this
staple except in limited quantities and
at high cost. In the intelligent use
OF this natural monopoly Southern
farmers would be the leading bene-
ticiaries, the general financial inter
ests OF the South would come in for
corresponding share OF the benefits
and the increased balance Of trade
would make the United States, as 4
whole, q beneficiary. Under the cuu-
cational effect Of tho Liye-at-Fio1ue
campaign of the Farmers Union the
production OF cotton was limited in
1902 and i91e, and as a result the
price OF cotton was maintained around
the I5-cent level and the price Of cot
ton seed close 10 1iitN cents per buSheI
FOR two years. Under conditions Of
that kind cotton fields looked inviting
and the tide turned toward the cotton
fields, with the idea that 13-cent cot
Ion and 5U-ccnt cotton seed had come
to stay. Some cSpioiters figured that
they could take the cotton seed from
q cotton patch and at 50 cents q
Iushel they could sell the cotton seed
and buy as much corn as the land
would produce and still have the Is
cent cotton. High priced mules AND
ton of fertilizer per acre looked small
TO them compared with 15-cent cotton
and 50-cent cotton seed. DoIlar-a-day
Ia Dor also looked little in the dreams
Of the cotton-craZy fellow. He made
up his mind to speculate in cotton
production and get rich or bust.
HES s'busted." The 1iye-at-home
farmer ought to pray three times q
day for that kind Of farmer cotton
gambler TO STAY "bustcd.'

SO, let the facts be known. This pa
per will be glad to print them.
How did he raise so much? Here
Is the story as told by the Lexington
Dispatch:
The most notable achievement to
the credit Of any farmer of Davidson
county is that of Mr.. z. u. Finch, of
Lexington township, who made 13S
bushels and IS pounds Of corn on one
acre Of ground this year. He thus
beats the record of Mr.. II. J. Conrad,
OF Thomasyilie township, who made
100 bushels on one acre last year, the
best yield on~record up to the record
of this year.
Considering the season, Mr.. F'inch's
yield Of corn is indeed remarkable.
Up 10 the present writing, his record
leads the State and it is believed that
when the reports are all III 1t Will De
found that Mr. Finch is close 10 the
mead Of the procession.
Mr.. Finch made his corn on piece
of land that fitted in well with the
season. It had been a meadow for
30 or 80 years until it was broken
daSt year and put IN corn. IL WoIkeu
almost like prairie land and was ex-
ceedingly hard to handle. He made
81 bushels Of corn on it last year, de-
spite the fact that it was flooded. and
ne used only 175 pounds OF fertilizer
on it. Last fall he sowed the land IN
rye and turned over the rye last
spring, plowing it about j / inches
deep, and subsoiling.
After this he disc narrowed the
jand, got it in good shape and gave 1t
top dressing Of 800 pounds OF fer
liizer and worked it again. Then he
spread about twenty tons OF good ma
nure broadcast and worked 1t again.
Then he laid off his rows about 80
inches apart and dropped his corn
With a 26-hole dropper, using spe-
ciai plate which he had made at con-
siderable expense. This was to get
the stand and the corn was dropped
about four inches apart in the drill.
This corn was cultivated eight
times TIe planted 1t late. sometime

WHY Leave The Farm,
Young Man?
The Experience of One Successful
Young Man in Greene County This
NnHp.
(Snow Hill Graphic. }

(Snow Hill Graphic.)
There is constant drift OF country
reared boys to the city. Few of them
realize the serious mistake they make
until it is too late. The environments
of the country boy are the best for
the development Of a man. And, too,
if a young man Of energy starts out II
life to make money there IS no rea-
son why he should leave the farm.
Brains and energy Will as surely be
rewarded for effort on the farm as in
the n3arts of trade. Once in while
an example comes to light which
shows what young man on the farm
can do. Herewith we give the net re-
suit Of q Greene county boys work on
q Greene county farm this year.
Mr. Roy Groom. son of our county,
man Mr.. L. T. Groom. OF Hookerton
township, cultivated four acres In TO-
bacco for which~he received clear
check for s937.40; three acres In cot
ton, 1000 pounds of lint, s2Oo; 40
bushels OF cotton seed, S36; three
acres in corn, Is barrels, s75: one
acre in oats, 500 pounds, So; same
acre in hay. 1000 pounds, $50; cab
bage, $40; potatoes, seven bushels.
s5.25: six bushels peas, SO, making a
total Of s1,300.65. From which we
take the following expenses: fertiliz-
ers and rent s229: hired labor, s42, or
. total OF s271, giving him a net in
come for his years labor OF 81 ,o29,63.
How many young men are killing
themselves standing behind a coun~
tar FOR a wage of $50 per month or
$500 a year? ME- Groom has made his
money since January ist 1911, and
there are nearly two months of the
year LETT.
Young man, if you are tempted to
leaya the country for any reason don't
do it.

Department of Agriculture estimates
the 1911 crops as 10 less than in 1910
and fOur-tenthS less than in 1900, but
shows that higher prices will conpen-
safe the producers. Corn, for instance.
was II cents higher November /, 1911,
than on the same date last year;
wheat, 1 cent: oats 9 cents: rye, / n
cents: and SO on. Potatoes were
worth over 20 cents more per busheI

CENTRAL OF GEORGIA
TEST FARMS.

Announcement is made that the
Agricultural Department Of the Cen
4ral IL Georgia will establish about
is Test farms" along its line Of
road in Alabama and Georgia this
fall. The object is to provide an
opportunity for a practical test Of the
farming methods advocated by the
Agricultural College in each state,
and to supplement and assist the
work OF their Extension Depart
ments. The plan followed will be
similar to that Of the Oklahoma
Board Of Agriculture. The Railway
Company win enter into partner
ship with Is farmers who own land
ut different points along the right of
way, to farm 40 acres Of their land
in accordance with plans and IN
structions which will be worked out
by the Agricultural College authori-
fies, ia an effort to prove how much
net money may be made ON a well
balanced farm, properly cultivated
nnder the most approved methods,
with proper rotation Of crops, and
with such variety Of same as win
produce ms nearly as possible all the
food stuff required on the farm;
while at the same time increasing
che productiveness and value OF the
land instead Of robbing it of its ma
tural fertility.
The farmers selected to make these
tests viii receive the assistance Of u
trained agriculturist employed by the
Railways Agricultural department
to call upon them twice month and
advise with them as to the carrying
ont Of the work. On account Of diff
fercnt local conditions, it sprobable
that the plans forno two Of the farms
will be exactly alike. Each farmer
will. therefore, have the benefit Of
expert supervision and o plan and
instructions especially adapted to
snect the particular requirements Of
dis own home farm In addition,

good any loss caused through failure
of the methods prescribed, i. e., in
case the products of the farm do not
equal in value the expense for seed,
fertilizer, labor in planting, cultiva-
ting, harvesting and marketing, and
a fair rental on the land, the Rail-
way Company will make good the
loss up to q. certain amount.
In order that the test may be fair,
and in consideration of what is done
for him, the test farmer will be re-
quired to agree to use such seed and
fertilizer and in such quantities as
may be prescribed, and to follow
carefully all instructions as to meth
DDS Of soil preparation, planting,
cultivating, etc.
Copies of the instructions prepared
for each farm will befurnished to MS
many farmers in that locality rs
desire them; and though the agri-
culturist can supervise but one farm
IN each locality, advance notice will
be given Of each of his visits so that
all who are following instructions
can have an opportunity to meet him
ON his periodical calls at the test
farm.
II is the belief of the management
of the Central of Georgia Railway
that the result of these improved
farming methods, If generally adop-
ted BY the farmers adjacent to its
lines, would be n large increase in
the prosperity of the farmers, and
of the railroad which serves them;
and they have, therefore, decided
upon this test farm work in the belief
that such actual visible demonstra-
tions Of the most modern agricul-
tural methods will hasten the day
when the country traversed by the
Central Of Georgia Railway viii be-
come what its natural advantages
entitle it to be-one Of the most
thriving and successful agricultural
sections Of the United States.
