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-
lions, such as climate, labor supply,
market demands and transportation
facilities. We cannot grow perishable
products unless we have quick trans
portation facilities. Even il a 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 a practical method to
take the place of our present badly
balanced, lopsided farming that COM
pels a farmer to wear out about 10
acres at a time. It is not enough to
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 a substitute, and on
general lines how the average cotton
farmer can do so.
The system Of farming that l shall
now suggest, II 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
Cotton first year; corn and peas, soy
beans or velvet beans, second year;
oats, followed by lespedeza, soy beans
or COW peas, third year; or cotton and
crimson clover sowed at last working,
first year; June corn and volunteer
crimson clover, second year; oats, fol-
lowed by soy beans, lespadeza or COW
peas, third year; or cotton and Grim
son clover, first year; June corn and
volunteer crimson clover, second year;
oats, followed by lespedeza, third year;
lespedeza, fourth year.
OF course, commercial fertilizers,
thoroughly good permanent pastures
and plenty of good live stock must
be added to the above rotation or sys-
tenn of farming.

Most Acceptable.

After all available slices have
been cut from the cold roast veal. and
just before the remaining bone goes
into the stew or soup pot, there Will
be usually a few choice bits Of white
meat to be cut from portions here
and there which will make a perfect
substitute for chicken salad. On days
when poultry is cooked a little of the
fat can be SKINNED from the richest
stock or saved from the roast or
fricassee. This. favored with little

chicken fat in quantity sufficient to
flavor the veal, and add to this an
equal amount Of chopped celery. pre-
pared carefully by removing the
stringy portion and leaving only the
tender, juicy interior. Where the
meat portion is deficient little crisp

This makes a delicious, dainty and in

plan to Fool ST. Peter.

A group of men were discussing
their probable chances Of entering the
