Statistics gathered by the
Yazoo Sentinel places the farm
lands of Mississippi in the lead
from the stand point Of average
returns. The average Missis-
sippi farmer receives forty-two
per cent on his investment; the
Alabama farmer comes next
with forty-one per cent, Georgia
and Arkansas thirty-four and
Louisiana twenty seven, Kansas
farms pay seventeen, Indiana
seventeen, Ohio fifteen and
Missouri fourteen per cent.
While the poorest methods are
employed on the great majority
of our farms the Southern States
get the best returns. This can
be accounted for by the superior
quality of our soil, favorable
climate and the production Of
cotton, one of the best paying
crops in the world when diversi-
fication is a part of the system
employed.

The Tennessee legislators met
last week and passed the bond
bill allowinga funding at a high
err rate of interest. AS soon as
that was done the doors were
shut and a crowd of thugs were
armed and standing guard over
every exit, and Cox read and
passed a vote over the governors
veto of the election bill. AS soon
as the fusionists got out of the
hall with their lives they took
the first train home. 1t is debat-
able who got the most out of the
fiasco. The regulars acknowl-
edge their action in passing laws
over the governors veto will not
stand. by this act of voting a
second time on the question.
They seem to think if they can
make their election law stand
they can desrtoy Hooper. They
say so in so many words. A
corrupt ballot box is their only
hope to defeat the choice of the
people. Corruption of the ballot
box will not do for Tennesseans.

common sense God has given you and
follow Natures plan, The first thing
Nature does is to increase the vege-
table matter and mix it with the soil
and so that the water, air and frost
can penetrate it.
| want to ask YOU farmers to tell
me the difference between the soil on
top and the subsoil below Except al
luvial soils)? els there any difference
except the vegetable matter that has
accumulated in the top soils? We
know that all our soils were fertile
according to the formation they were
derived from. We know that the
soil above and the subsoil below are
the same, except the soil has had veg
etable matter added to make it por-
GUS so the water, air and frosts could
penetrate it. We know that we have
plowed shallow and allowed the rains
to carry away the vegetable matter.
We have no worn out lands. We
have much with the surface soil
washed away, but we can follow
Natures lead; we can get green
crop to turn under; we can break up
some of the virgin subsoil and mix
with the surface soil and vegetable
matter during the winter; the rain,
frost and air will work for US in max
ing the plant food We can grow le-
guminous crops such as peas, beans,
clover and watches to increase our
nitrogen. We can use, with care
and Intelligence, reasonable amounts
of acid phosphates, potash and
crushed lime. We can, by following
Natures lead, restore our lands to
their virgin fertility and get fair
compensation for our labor.
Brother farmer, we have been look
ing for some hard problem to solve,
We thought there was some scientific
short cut to big crops. We have
neglected the simple things we could
do. We have ignored Nature as our
teacher and we have paid the penalty.
We have tried to jump from the bot
tom to the top of the ladder at sin
gle bound. We cannot do it. We
must climb a round at time. The
scientists at the top reached their
position by a study of Nature and
natural conditions. Each step made
the next one possible.
If we succeed we must do the
things within our reach. We can re-
build our soils. We can unlock the
The plant food and make it available,
but must follow Natures plan. We
must think about our work and profit
by our opportunities. Too many of
us think more about other peoples
business than our own. They are
getting the profits. Let's give our
best thoughts and energies to the
things that we are justly entitled to
the rewards.

TALKS TO THE FARMER
IF. PECK, Com. Of Agriculture.
Soil Analysis.

1t is almost a daily occurrence at
the Department of Agriculture to re-
ceive letters from farmer wanting to
know where and how they can get
their soil analysed. SO they can have
a fertilizer made up to supply the de-
icient plant food.
Some people imagine if they had an
analysis of their soils they could sup
ply the deficiency in plant food with
special fertilizer, and that would
insure maximum crops. They would
be doomed to disappointment. 1t
would be next to impossible to get an
average sample Of soil, because the
analysis of two samples taken 100
feet apart would vary greatly.
The farmer needs to know how to
make available the plant food he has
in his soil a great deal more than he
does the exact amounts his soil con-
tains. His soil could be we'll supplied
with nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash, the principal elements needed,
and they could be locked up so as to
be unavailable for plant food.
Any farmer knows what happens to
his soil II he works it too wet. He
also knows that if he takes everything
off of his ground every year and turns
no vegetable matter under. his land
is inclined to run together and bake,
break up cloddy, and this tendency
increases each year because it is los
ing it's vegetable matter (humus).
Such a soil will not give the plant
growing on it the plant food it con-
tains.
If the farmer wants to make a sue
cess in farming he must make the
plant food available in his soil. He
must study nature, as well as books,
| if he does this. We know of many
fields that during our bovhood days
produced good crops, but with con-
slant cropping, taking everything of
and putting nothing back, they ceased
to be profitable. They were aban.
doned and allowed to grow up il
weeds, briars and brush, After sew
eral years those fields were cleared
up and again would, for time, pro
duce profitable crops until the supply
of vegetable matter they had accum
ulated was exhausted.
Nature, if left alone, and the lane
prevented from washing, will restore
land to fertility. What does it add
Vegetable matter and a small amount
of nitrogen from the air. The actor
of the air rain and frost mixes the
decayed vegetable matter with thu
soil and subsoil, making it loose and
loamy and the plant food in it avail
able.
Now if you want to build up YOU
soil and make the plant food in il
available, just use the good, hare

Southern Farmers Advised
Against Selling OF
Their Cows

u. s. Department Of Agriculture.
Office Of the Secretary.
Washington, D. c., June.l3, 1918.
During the past twelve months cat
tie buyers have been active in Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia,
and Florida, purchasing cattle to be
shipped to the Middle Western mar
kets as either Gamers or stockers.
The prices paid for Gamers during
this period have been SO high that
thousands Of cows and heifers have
gone to the shambles which should
have been retained on the farm for
breeding purposes. This is especial
" noticeable when the receipts Of
southern cattle at the st. Louis mar
ket for the last twelve months are
compared with those for any previ-
Gus period Of similar length. The re-
ceipts of Alabama, Mississippi, and
Louisiana cattle at that market have
almost doubled during this period.
Since the first of February buyers
from khe farms and ranches of the
West have been securing the Gull
States in search Of breeding stock
A few years ago this class of cattle
would have been scorned by The
western ranchman as breeding stock
but with the shortage Of cows fol-
breeding purposes the ranchers arr
glad to get these cheap. COWS, tt
