$l6 to the acre upon the cotton land
Tor fertilizers. That would of it
self be handsome profit on the crop
II it could be saved. And il seems
easily possible to save it if we would
only make our fertilizers with legumes
instead of buying them i'm sacks. If
the cotton belt would plant half its
land in cotton and the other half in
grain and legumes, and feed cattle
and hogs on these last crops, the en-
tire fertilizer bill could be cut ont
for We would not need the stuff. We
would each Of us have a home fer

ure in the world, costing us nothing
a ton; for before the legume goes
back to the ground as manure il has
more than paid for the cost of grow
ing it in cattle and hcg and horse
reed. TO look at it from the other
side, under this system we would
grow the finest horses and mules
the hnest beef cattle and the fattest
hogs costing us nothing at all. For
the feed We grow for them is worth
as manure more than it cost to grow
IT; and all the stock that have con-
verted the growing crop into money
as i've stock, has got it's feed for
nothing. In this way of planting
there would seem to be no end to the
increase of fertility, and hardly any
limit to the amount Of stock we could
produce. And one Of the chief gains
from the system would be the effect
it would have upon the price of cot
ton. For it is admitted that if we did
not make more than ten or twelve
million bales, we would get more
money for the crop than we got for
our sixteen nillion-bale crop.
Finally. why is it that We do not
adopt the diversification system if it
is so superior to the other? I have
heard that there are at least three
reasons:
First, We have planted cotton so
long that We do not know how to
do anything else and We are so set in
our ways that we do not want to
learn: second, We have got so in the
habit Of buying our fertilizers that we
think this way is the easiest, and the
fertilizer agent tries to keep us from
seeing the light; and third, the credit

son Is the effect such a system has
upon the fertility OF the soil 1t is
an admitted fact that the one crop
system gradually impoverishes the
iand,, the farmers chief capital, and
that diversfication may be the means
OF an unlimited increase in fertility.
For dversification makes if nossib,e
to adopt rotation. Without diversi
hcation, rotation is an impossibility.
and without rotation there Is no per-
manent fertility. The reason of the
great value and real necessity Of ro-
tation is to be found in the fact that
continual cropping in one crop will
exhaust the elements Of plant food
In the richest soil, while a system of
rotation may be made to restore these
lost elements. 1t is q wise provision
Of the Great Maker of the world that
the leguminOus crops have the power
to gather the nitrogen from the air
and store it up in the soil, and nitro
gen is the most costly Of all plant
FOOD. The South has a long list of
these legumes that extend their sea-
sons over the entire year and the
growing and feeding of them will
not only keep our land at it's present
state of fertility but may be made to
&c l.
that crop Of peas or other legumes
will make land richer and this fact
has made growing Of cow peas one
element in a rotation on practically
every Southern farm. The practice
Of feeding legumes to stock on the
ground is not so often practiced, but
this one element in a diversified sys-
tenn can be we'll adopted to still fur
ther add to the fertility Of our land.
1t Is an admitted fact that crop Of
legumes fed upon the land adds no
less to the fertility than IL the same
crop were turned under, but all the
meat or butter or wool or mules will
be that much clear gain over the
plan of turning under so good a feed
crop.
1t will then appear that system Of
diversificaton may be made to pay
our fertilizer bills, the greatest tax
upon the Southern farmer. Imagine
