Carefully conducted tests have also
proven the maximum results. These
tests show the absolute necessity for
growing several crops and live stock.
Before adopting a system of crop
ing and selecting crops to grow there
in, we must consider the local condi-
tions, such as climate, labor supply,
market demands and transportation
facilities. We cannot grow perishable
products unless we have quick trans
portation facilities. Even IL farm
crop is not perishable and we have the
quickest transportation facilities at
our door, we must be careful and not
glut the market. These observations
being true, we find that we must de
vote our energies to staple farm crops
such as grass, corn, oats, peas, soy
beans, cane, poultry and live stock and
some cotton.
Many agricultural writer's and speak
ers are busy shaking the foundation
Of our present evil-the one-crop sys-
tenn. Their work is to q large extent
destructive, not constructive. They
seldom suggest practical method to
take the place Of our present badly
balanced, lopsided farming that COM
pels a farmer to wear out about Is

expose the evils Of the one-crop sys-
TEN. We must be able to show, on
general lines, what system we intend
to establish as substitute, and on
general lines how the average cotton
farmer can do so.
The system of farming that | shall
now suggest, IL adopted and carried
out by our cotton farmers, will, in ten
years, make our soils exceedingly pro-
ductive. our farmers rich, and the
cotton belt the financial center of the
world.

total expense Of each farm, the in
iquitous credit system that has for 40
years dragged the growers bound and
broken will no longer exist, and the
growers will each year grow in
strength and permanent prosperity.
The first efforts at breaking away
from cotton usually consist in going
largely into another single crop sys-
tenn of farming rather than going into
the production of q variety of crops.
The evils of the new system are much
greater than those Of the all-cotton
system. Many farmers rush into the
truck business. OF course, truck
crops should be grown on every farm
and, in some particular localities, they
may constitute the main reliance for
cash, but l assert positively that the
truck business is gamble for the
average cotton farmer and that he will
win just enough to cause him to put
up all he has and lose. Trucking has
lured many a farmer to financial ruin.
James ]. Hill, one of the greatest
thinkers of this age, says: Give us a
system of farming that will greatly
increase the fertility of the soil" He
further states: Forty years ago a
farmer had to provide for but one
other than himself. Today every farm
er has to produce food for two besides
himself"
Hon. Henry Wallace recently said:
The nineteenth century farmer,
speaking generally. was no farmer at
all, but a miner Of soil fertility, a soil
robber." Mr.. Hill, speaking along the
same line, said: The average Amer
lean farmer has no equal for careless
ness and for adhering to discredited
methods of farming; we will soon be
unable to feed ourselves or to feed

er Industries that we are building on

make the most careful use of manures
and fertilizers, but no problem is OF
such importance as the maintenance
of the supply Of plant food in the soil.
The first step to be taken in order to
add to the supply Of plant food, Is to
reduce washing TO minimum Flow
ing water removes more plant food
in one year than is removed in five by
crops sold from the farm. The addi-
ton of the vegetable matter, winter
cover crops, deep blowing and proper
ly constructed terraces will reduce the
washing of land to a minimum

lie three times as much land as the
average farmer In such way that his
productiveness rapidly increases in
stead Of wearing out about Is acres
at the time and keeps the cotton money
at home, but as James J. Hill says. our
prime object in adopting a system OF
farming, should be to increase the
fertility OF the soil.
The wise farmer should always
strive to grow that crop or crops
which extended over long period will
possess the greatest money value. BY
this do not mean that farmers should
be so shortsighted as to sacrifice the
fertility Of their lands and future
wealth for immediate returns.
Now. it has been found by actual
tests on experimental plats that on a
definite area. say 20 acres, that 1t is
possible to produce as much cotton in
ten years by practicing threeyear
rotation of corn and peas, oats fol
lowed by peas and cotton. as it is
possible to produce by planting the
