south the growing Of leguminous

Worn-out cotton land will grow good

Senator Ingalls, said: Next In i'm
~portance to the divine p~rofusion Of
water, light and air-those three phys
ical facts which render existence pos
sible-may be reckoned the universal
beneicence of grass" Ingalls, told the
whole truth, but few farmers In the
south believe what he said. Not one
farmer in a thousand fully appreciates
the full value Of 6 good permanent
pasture. The most prosperous coun-
ties in England 1--WE their prosperous
agriculture to the magnificent perma-
nent pastures. The blue grass region
of Kentucky has done much to cause
our farmers to appreciate grass to
some extent. There are sections Of
Tennessee and Virginia where the
successful growing Of fine stock on
grass has helped Kentucky to gain
friends for grass.
Let us adopt a better balanced sys'
tenn Of faTming-one that will include
large areas devoted to thoroughly
good permanent pastures; M that
will include more pure-bred live stock
to eat the grass and the leguminous
crops that must be grown in the corn,
cotton and other crops to economical
ly enrich the soil. More grass and
more le%guminous crops and more good
stock means prosperity in the south.
