farmer; he should know exactly
what condition his farm isin. He
should know at the beginning OF
the ysariust how he is going to
manage his farm so that at the
ehd Of the year he will not only
have a clear profit but will have
his farm In q better condition
than it was at first. Just as the
merchant fts his stock to the
needs OF the people 80 should the
farmer put his,crops to the soil.
In order to do this he should
carefully study the soil; for by SO
doing heswill know when each
crop can be grown successfully.
He should aim to produce quality
as we'll as quantity, for quality
brings the market to the farmer.
About one third of the land in
our counties is classified as i'm
proved land is doing absolutely
nothing in the way OF, growing
y, valuable crops n and that about
one fifth OF the area under tillage
gives annual harvests worth 800
or more per acre, the crops on
two:ffths are worth only $S. so
per acre, and Watauga makes
1925 per acre. When these facts
are considered, the Importance of
a better system is recognized.
This system should give more
acres to crops ofhigher value and
fewer>to the ones OF lower value.
1t should not eliminate crops
grown successfully, neither should
it depend upon new or untrued
ones. It should contain nothing
OF a doubtful nature. It should
if possible offer opportunity for
utilizing 100 per cent of the i'm
proved land in crop growing and
in many cases make farming prof
table enough to justify the clear
ing up or reclaiming of good
lands now in woods and : thus
make the farms large enough for
improved tillage.
The system should allow not
only the man but the work ami
mails kept on the farm to do more
days of proft-bearing work per
year than at present. This, as
YOU know, is one OF the worst
faults of our mountain farmers.
The average Watauga farmer
does not work more than from
sixty.five to seventy-ive days
out of each year and the average
farm team works even less than
this. In the states where you will
find the prosperous farmers, up
on investigation you will find
that both men and horses work
from 275 to 800 days of 9 a h
year. While it is not yet possible
for is to that here, eshould, at
least, do much more than we are
doing at the present, and if we
expect prosperity we must do it.
The secret of success lies in
keeping all the tilable land busy
growing valuable crops, and hav'

and it is always complimented. Tho
horses are in fine trim, and the tab.

costly carvings, gilt and varnish. An
unusually large number of dens are
open in the parade, ond the general
