Everybody Should Join in the

FARM METHODS ARE LACKING
Farmers Can Easily Grow Twice Aver

Industrial Corporations Of
Country Are Interested.
CBy G. II. ALFORDD

We have between the average and
the best in farming in the cotton belt
an attainable 1000 per cent. This diff
ference of 1000 per cent. against the
average farmer is due wholly to con-
ditions which he can easily control
with the necessary knowledge. Every
CORPORATION and business man interest
ed in the welfare OF the country should
ioin forces with the United States de-
partment of agriculture, agricultural
colleges, experiment stations, state de-
partments of agriculture and other
forces and conduct great educational
campaigns until the foolish and Grim
inal waste that is going on every year
by reason Of unscientific methods OF
farming is a thing of the past.
Our farmers can grow easily twice
the average yield Of our staple crops
This increase would pour many mil
lions of dollars annually into our
industrial channels. Such an addi-
ton could not be made without touch
ing every corporation, every banker
every storekeeper, every doctor, every
lawyer, every editor and, in fact, every
person in the country.

rations of the country have already

institutions and are helping the farm
ers to larger production and to larger
life. and are thereby contributing to
the prosperity and uplift of the whole
people. Some people may attribute
this to pure selfishness, bat from out
of that selfshness will evolve a better
condition among the farmers, greater
comforts in living, and more luXurles
of life and better opportunities for the
farmers to educate their sons and
daughters-thus the presumed selfish
ness contains within it a resulting
philanthropy.

The calamity bowler says: What
about the lack of lime in the sOu?' Dr.
TAFT Butler probably the best-posted
man on southern agriculture, says, in
summing up a most excellent editorial
on Lime in Southern Feeds: We
have shown: G) That our soils are
not deficient in lime as regards the
plant food requirements OF cur cropss
90 that plants grown in the south
have as much ash as the same plants
grown elsewhere, and that the tee6
crops of the south, especially the
legumes peculiar TO the south, contain
as high a per cent OF ash as the
feed crops of other sections; 90 that
typical southern rations are those
made up of typical southern feeds an6
contain more ash than typical north
ern feeds. The conclusion IS, there

is not because this material is de-
ficient in our feeds, but because our
animals do not get sufficient OF our

In the cotton belt, live stock farm
ing has been avoided mainly for two
reasons. "a Because all-cotton farm
ing paid better until the soil became
poor; (2) because of the cattle tick
Now, millions of acres are too poor
to grow cotton profitably, and we can
easily eradicate the cattle tick. Since
the work of eradicating the tick was
inaugurated, nearly 100000 square
miles have been cleaned for all time;
this is an area over three times as
large as Alabama. The tick Injuries

our cattle on the markets and destroys
more than enough cattle every year
to pay for it's eradication.
The invasion of the boil weeviI and
the consequent reduction Of the profits
Of cotton growing is forcing many
farmers to grow crops which must of
necessity be marketed through the
agency of live stock. and it is the func-
ton of live stock on the farm to fur
nish a market for the crops that are
grown, enabling the farmers to con-
vert grasses, forage crops, COW peas
and soy beans, and so on, into higher
priced finished products and to return

we must decrease the number of the
acres of cotton and increase the mum
Der devoted to pastures, forage crops
and live stock We have all heard the
old Dutch proverb quoted before, but
we cannot quote it too often: mo
grass, no stock no stock, no manure;
no manure. no crop Holland is al
most entirely a grass and stock coun-
try, and lands are worth on an aver
age of $500 per acre. These people
have found that they can make more
out of land from grasses and live
stock than they can by cultiVating 1t.
Unnumbered acres of hill land in
the cotton belt are making less than
one-third bale of cotton per acre, and
at the same time making poverty for
those tilling them. The cost of com
mercial fertilizer applied annually is
appalling. The razor-back terraces,
covered with weeds, grass and briars,
and the circled and short rows pre-
vent the use of laborsaving imple-
ments.
Millions of acres Of poor hillside
land now producing less than one
third bale of cotton per acre should
be plowed deep, well fortified with
acid phosphate and some nitrogen and
some potash, when needed, and plant
ed in summer and winter legumes for,
say, two years, and then sodded in
Bermuda grass, lespedeza, crimson and
burr clovers. Only by this method
and stock raising can our wornout,
quilted cotton lands be restored to fer
tility and only in this way can the
people of our southland become pros
porous and contented.
We have worn out our lands in the
quickest possible time by growing cot
ton and rigidly excluding grasses.
clovers and live stock We have de-
pleted the soil of vegetable matter
and it has washed away. This poor
soil means poor people, and the poor
people means bad roads, uncomfort-
able homes, poorly equipped farms,

TEN, and all that retards civilization.

it. The greatest need Of the farmers
of the cotton belt at present is more
grass and more live stock and those
who assist in eradlcating the cattle
tick and in otherwise helping to
create conditions that will enable
farmers to grow two good animals ina
the place of one scrub is surely as
great benefactor as those who cause
two blades of grass to grow where
only one grew before.
Live stock should certainly be given
a prominent place in the agricultural
development OF the cotton belt. Next
to having good and intelligent people
in country, good live stock Is
probably of the most importance. This
being true, every state In the cotton
belt should encourage better live
stock by eradicating the tick and by
teaching improved methods of stock
breeding and raising.
