THE TITcHE FARM.
DR.. EioIlOman Finds Excellent Pros
pect for Good Yield of Cotton.

Having heard of the cotton crop
of Mr.. Titche, I gladly accepted
an opportunity to visit his farm
near Port Gibson last Tuesday
morning. 5th inst
Inasmuch as the cotton crop is
still recognized by many as the
distinctive and only money produc-
er of this state. was anxious to
see for myself, and learn the meth
DDS whereby this much discussed
crop was being grown.
Ii is not the purpose of this
communication to give IN detail or
discuss the methods used by Mr..
Titche. He viii be more than
pleased TO explain to any who may
wish; for, next to making sue
cess himself, / found that bis de-
sire was to demonstrate that cotton
can be made money crop in the
face of the boil weevil
On cut of upland which has
been planted to cotton five years in
succession. and which has had no
commercial fertilizer. and which.
was planted in the Simpkins vari-
ETY. of cotton ong the 3rd day of
April-the rows being about four
feet apart, and the stalks standing
an average of 80 to IS inches high

fertile and produce several times as
4 much at no added expense. This
greater production would make
these people independent. Why do
so few of them make the effort 1t
is true that many SOW peas in corn
and in meadow, while numbers do
not even take this trouble. Cover
crops and winter growing legumes
receive scant attention, while the
effect of the clovers on our soils
have had the attention of only FIVE
or six men in our county. IF we
could easily demonstrate that a
crop of crimson clover would double
the corn yield the first year, treble
it the second. is 1t likely we could
get people to accept this wonderful
proposition that would cost very
little except some work and care.
I have some felds-high hills
that four years ago produced less
than ten bushels per acre. After
blowing down two crops of Grim
son clover, we shall get this season
over fifty bushels per acre. With
two more crops of clover and using
some raw phosphate rock that costs
little, feel sure of 100 bushels per
acre. Tie grazing ! get for cattle
from February to May 18th to 25th
more than pays cost blowing, har-
rowing and seeding. It's cost to
me as a fertilizer is nothing. l
have other fields where I ploWed
down first year sod and the yield
will more than double. I use oats
or rye along with clover to aid as
nurse crop and to afford more
grazing.
These fields are in front of Mr..
Basil Moore's home and he in his
trips over the county can verify
the foregoing to any inquirers.
Next week l shall take up the
clovers further, also silos.
Very truly,
