BEEF FOR COTTON PLANTER
Some Sort Of Diversified Farmih
Plan VIII Tend Towards Better
and More Reliable Results

The cotton planter Of the south. who
has been looking In vain for years for
some relief from the ravages OF the
boil weevil, and for q more certain
money crop. owes 1t to himself to
consider well his equipment for rails
ing and feeding beef cattle, and the
desirabiIity of his embarking In thar
business at this time
The cotton crop for some time has
been far from a sure crop. and the
south needs today. as never pefore,
some sort Of diversified farming plan
that will tend towards better and
more consistent results. Cotton can
not be depended upon year In and
year out as in the earlier days. Grain
farming alone will not only not main
tain the fertility of the soil. but In the
end viii ruin 1t. And not all Of the
south is adapted to grain growing.
With a more equitable climate. with
natural grasses abundant the year
around. with sufficient grain feed
raised. live stock growing should be
profitable in practically all sections
of the south. The only obstacle Is the
prevalence of the fever tick, and the
work of tick eradication is being
pushed in all the southern states with
much progress end there Is much rea-
son to believe that in very few
years the tick will be confined to small
and scattered localities.

penetrate the soil In the south depend
upon the depth Of the blowing.
It has been proved without question
that the roots Of plants penetrate the
soil deeper and feed deeper in deeply
plowed land. Thus. in general. It may
be stated that when the soil is plowed
three inches deep the plants have
three inches Of food, when plowed six
inches deep they have six inches OF
food. and when plowed ten inches
deep they have ten inches Of food.
The fact that the bottom Of the plowed
land is not as rich in available plant
food as the top portions shows the ne
cessity of getting more air and heat
down to them by deeper tillage.
The soil requirements most essen
tial to the growth Of plants are heat
and moisture Deep breakage in
sures air and heat at a greater depth.
For plants to do their best there
must be In the son a constant supply
Of moisture, so that a film OF water
can envelop the soil particles and abb
sorb nutritive elements. The hair
roots Of plants drink this for nourish-
ment. II there IL any more than
enough to serve as films for the soil
particles and capillary water. there Is

on This can be determined by dig
sing hole 20 inches deep. II there IL
standing water In the bottom Of the
hole. It indicates that there IL too
much water In the soil or subsoil
The capacity Of q given soil to hold
hlm and capillary moisture depends
upon how finely 1t is pulverized and
upon the amount Of humus In It Un-
plowed lands retain but little water.
Thoroughly pulverised soil three inch
es deep cannot store enough to make a
good crop.
In all southern states there are
every year periods Of drought, some
times not serious, but generally suf-
ficiently protracted to reduce the crop.
The remedy for this is increased stor-
age for moisture. This can be accom-
plished by deep and thorough tillage
and by. filling the soil with humus
(partly decayed vegetation). The ef-
feet Of deep tillage has been explained.
The effect Of humus is to increase
greatly the storage capacity Of soils
AOi water eAlu W rcuuCc etdpOrdtiOA-
A pound Of humus will store seven and
one-half times as much moisture as q
pound OF sand. and the sand will lose
it's water by evaporation three and
one half times more rapidly than the
humus A clay soil will store only
about one-fourth as much moisture as
humus, and will lose 1t by evaporation
twice as rapidly.
Plants use an enormous quantity OF
water. An acre Of good corn will alb
sorb and evaporate during its growth
nearly ten inches of water. About
three-fourths Of this amount viii be

It is true that the homestead area
is being rapidly taken up and the

of the Saskatchewan river in por-
ton of the country known as the park
country. Here there Is large guam

beautiful groves of poplar and willow.
