The English newspapers seem
somewhat alarmed because of the
large tracts Of land there lying in
idleness. They claim that farm
ers are not encouraged and that
the scarcity of food is becoming a
matter of grave concern. No
wonder, farming land in England
il almost entirely owned by the
nobility and the price is such that
no farmer can buy it and stand
any chance whatever to make a
living on it. This is the blessing of
high priced farm land and boost
ing, ENLARGED values as we like to
put it. This country js Il AIDED
in the same direction and it will
soon reach the point where the
ordinary farmer cannot possibly
produce enough to pay the inter-
est on his investment.

CATTLE IN THE SOUTH
Tennessee Man Believes 0ppor.
! tunity Is Attractive.
Cotton Growing Portion OF United
States Makes Less Provision for
! Feeding Of Live Stock
Than Any Other.

I do not believe there is another
region in the civilized world as large
IN area and containing as much live
stock that makes SO little provision
for the feeding of the stock as the
cotton-growtng portion Of the United
States.
The universal custom there in feed
ing the grain is to use corn. and for
~roughage corr fodder is almost wholly
used. Besides the corn fodder quite
q considerable quantity Of pea hay is
used, and a few people use some
millet.
With the exception Of some oats
shipped to the south, which Is fed TO
horses in cities and towns. all the
grain fed to horses and mules Is corn,
writes o. T. Robertson Of Tennessee
in the Farm Progress. On the cotton
plantations corn is grown in large
quantities to feed the mules and hogs
and for bread for the people who live
on the plantations and do the cultivat.
ing Of these crops.
After some years farming IN Ten
nessee, I concluded that It was as easy
to grow hay and grain in the entire
cotton-growing region as in any state
north Of the Ohio river. l found that
on good soil q mixture Of timothy and
redtop made good growth and was
excellent hay.
On rich, moist bottom land Ber-
muda grass also made sufficient
growth to be moved. and It made fine
hay. Where there was rich bottom
land infested with Bermuda, it has
been the custom Of some to plow and
harrow the bermuda sod and SOW
cowpeas, a bushel to the acre, and
harrow them in. The mixture Of COW.
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1912-09-18

pea vines and Bermuda grass made
most excellent hay. After blowing
and narrowing the sod, the grass
would come up thick from the roots,
and the mixture Of grass and p~eavines
would make the best of hay.
Another grass that makes a heavy
growth, and much pasturage or hay,
is Johnson grass. But I would warn
everyone against getting a farm In
tested with Johnson grass. 1t Is a
very good pasture and hay grass, but
there is no known way to get rid OF
1t II once 1t gets a start on a farm.
It is claimed by some that no n has
ever been known to eradicate John
son grass when 1t nee got a start.
Bermuda is almost as Objectionable,
but 1t Is generally admitted that 1t
can be eradicated.
From my own experience I would
say it was next to impossible; but
this is at least true: When Bermuda
gets possession Of land. you can pillow
and harrow, and plant a crop Of corn
or cotton in 1t. For awhile you may
think. it is gone; but 1t is very certain
to come back, and keep on coming
back; but you can cultivate the corn
or cotton and make a fairly good crop
In spite Of the grass.
AS cotton seed meal and hulls both
make good feed, and on bottom lands
large crops Of corn can be made In
the cotton states, 1t has always
seemed to me that If enough young
cattle, Of fairly good quality, can be
bought in any Of the cotton states, 1t
would be a very successful plan to
buy these young cattle. which always
sell cheap, and pasture and feed them
to supply the local demand for beef.
The cheapness of labor will make
the cost of handling such stock very
low; and pea hay, Bermuda grass hay
and corn and sorghum fodder should
make the cost Of feeding very low.
Such stock finished with oil meal and
bulls and a reasonable quantity OF
corn, make very good young beef.
If. well.bred bulls were introduced,
say Short-horn or Angus, to on
the native stock. the h~alf-bloods
should make very good beef animals.
This industry has simply been neg
lected, yet l am sure the field is a
very promising one.

he penned for ten or twelve days and
fed all they will eat Of corn chop or
wet mash composed Of two parts corn
meal, n part bran and one part low
grade -four. If this mixture can be
dampened with skim milk, 1t will add
much to It's ~fattening and bleaching
qualities. Birds that are being fat
tened should be fed in troughs rather
than in litter, as exercise at this time
ia not conducive to rapid gains In
weight The birds should be kept as
quiet as possible.
