The Next Cotton Crop

1t has been stated SO often
lately by everyone who opens
his mouth that the cotton crop
must be reduced in 1915, that it
has become an old subject. The
business men say that the prom
ise by the farmer that he will
cut his acreage will as in the
past not be carried out. There is
but one way to force the lessened
crop, and that is for the mer-
chant, banker and landlord furn-
ishing supplies to do so only on
condition of a SO per cent cut in
acreage. This will compel men
to do what is for their good. The
second and more sensible plan is
for every individual farmer to
raise something that pays better
than cotton, Every man knows
cotton is not a crop that farmers
can live out Of, for less than ten
cents a pound. This crop is not
averaging more than51 to Scents.
One half or more is being held by
the farmer. Enough is being
sold to meet The demands of the
mills. The cotton is now in balef
sufficient for next years de-
mand. What will be done, with
next crop. The speculator ant
spinner know the cotton is OF
hand, and of course they viii no
allow the price to advance. Every
pound raised in 1915 can be fg
ured on a basis of 5 or 6 cen
Can you possibly raise i

crops have a big cash value

Rape as a Forage Crop in the
Cotton Bell
By G. V. PIPER, Astrologist in charge
of Forage-Crop Investigations,
Burean of Plant Industry.

By G. V. PIPER, Astrologist in charge
of Forage-Crop Investigations,
Burean of Plant Industry.
Rape is a succulent. nutritious
plant, closely related to kale, collards,
and cabbage, and requires essentially
the same conditions of culture as
these crops. The plants grow to a
height Of Il to 4 feet, depending on
conditions Of soil and climate. The
best forage varieties do not bloom
the same season they are planted. 1t
is the most important plant of the
cabbage family to use as feed for
hogs, sheep, cows, and chickens, and
for this purpose should be much more
commonly grown. Practically only
one variety is grown in the United
States, namely. the Dwarf Essex. The
seed is quite cheap, usually retailing
at about 10 cents per pound.
Rape is coolseason crop, and in
the South should, therefore, be plant
ed in The fall or in the very early
spring. The crop is not injured by
ordinary winters in the South. but of
course the growth is slow in cold
weather. In the fall it is best seed
ed from August Is to October Is.
Later seeding is scarcely advisable,
except near the Gulf coast and in
Florida, where it may be sown up to
December Is. In the spring it should
be seeded just as early as danger of
freezes is past; that is, at about the
same date spring oats are sown. The
earlier seedlings nearly always give
largest yields, as growth is checked
when very warm weather occurs.
In summer the plant becomes much
less palatable. Fall seeding is best,
but early spring sowing is often sue
cessful. Spring seeding is never ad-
visable in Florida or near the Gulf
coast.
Rape succeeds best in rich loan
soils, but profl able crops are grown
on sandy and on clayey soils. An
abundant moisture supply is necessary
to produce large yields. Good prepa-
tion of seed bed is advisable. Barn
yard manure is the best fertilizer. In
the absence of this. 400 to 600
pounds per acre of a complete COM
mercial fertilizer may be used.
When rape is planted in wide rows
it should be given three or four cult
vations during its early growth. AT
ter cutting the first crop a second
growth is often obtained, especially
if the stubble is cultivated.
Rape may be sown in cultivated
rows. in narrow drill rows, or broad
casted. II planted in rows, these
should ordinarily be "a to 80 inches
apart. In rows 2S inches wide, which
is the best average width, 2 pounds Of
seed per acre are sufficient.

of seed per acre are required. When
broadcasted 5 or pounds per acre
should be used.
Rape may be successfully grown
with certain other crops. Thus, it
it may be sown in early spring on
oats, wheat, or rye, and usually a
good stand is secured after the grain
crop is cut. 1t may also be sowH
mixed with clover, to be used as pas
ture, or between the rows in some
winterkilled crop for late fall pasture
The best depth to SOW the seed is
about One-half inch.
Rape is most commonly used as a
pasture crop for hogs or sheep. Cat
tie eat it readily, but destroy consid-
cradle by trampling, especially where
the rape is broadcasted. In broad
rows the injury by trampling is less.
as animals usually walk between the
rows. Many animals do not like rape
at first, but must acquire taste for
it before they will eat it readily.
Salt should be supplied literally, as
this will tend to prevent tho purgilg
which rape often produces.
In pasturing cattle on rape care
must be taken to prevent bloating.
They should not be turned into rape
patch when it is wet with dew or
rain or when the cattle are very hua-
cry. If a supply of hay or straw is
kept convenient, cattle will instinct
lively turn to this when they begin to
bloat. Where animals can pass
readily from rape pasture to grass
pasture, cases Of boating are very
infrequent. On the whole, it is best
to avoid danger and not pasture cat
tie on pure rape. There is no dam
ger of bloating with hogs.
Rape may also be cut and stall fed.
If fed to dairy cows, it should be just
after milking, as otherwise it may
faint the milk.
Rape is also an excellent feed for
all kinds of poultry.
Rape is quite as good. for human
food as kale or collards, AMI may be
prepared in the same manner. 1t is
often grown for human food under
the name of smooth or spring kale.
Rape varies greatly in yield, ac-
cording to the soil. Yields of 80 tons
per acre, green weight, are not rare
len to Is tons is good yield. and
smaller returns are profitable.
Under favorable conditions rape is
ready to pasture in about eight weeks
after seeding. An acre of good rape
will easily supply pasture for 20 hogs
| for two months.
