How the Small Farmer May
Succeed Despite Low-Priced Cotton
Pres Andrew Nj SOuIe Georgia College of Agriculture

Suppose a farmer has % acres of
land fairly fertile on which he has
been growing cotton. Since cotton
is improbable what can he do?
First Of all, he should minimize cot
ton production and not attempt to
devote more than five acres to this
crop in 1915. At least eight acres of
the land now in cotton should be seed
ed to cereals; three acres should be
used where the soil is suited to this
crop, for wheat and five acres for
oats. He should prepare an acre of
land as carefully as possible with the
idea of planting Irish potatoes as
early in the spring as it is practical
BILE When the Irish potato crop is
harvested the land should be devoted
to sweet potatoes. He should set
aside five acres to be planted to graz
ing crops to be harvested by hogs.
He should certainly devote a half
acre to a garden for his family and
to the production of such truck as
will sell most readily in the local
markets. One-half acre of land should
be devoted to the growth of a variety
of crops suited to poultry Eight
The Marietta journal and courier. (Marietta, Ga.) 1909-1918, 1914-12-18

acres should be devoted to corn, with
velvet beans, peanuts or cowpeas in
the middles. AS soon as the oats and
wheat are ripe, the land should be
prepared thoroughly and sown 20
peas or peas and millet for hay.
The cotton land should produce five
bales; the, corn should yield at the
rate Of So bushels, making total of
ESQ bushels for the eight acres. The
three acres of wheat should yield go
bushels of threshed grain; the five
acres of cats, 40 bushels per acre, or
200 bushels, all told. The Irish pota-
toes should yield 100 bushels and the
sweet potatoes 100 bushels. The gar
den should provide an abundance Of
food for the family and leave a con-
siderable surplus for sale
Allowing a liberal rental and for
taxes and fertilizers, the farmer
should have $500 at the end of the
year TO pay for his labor and that
Of his family. In addition, he has
lived off the land and lived we'll He
also has for the enrichment and main
tenance of the productive power of his

COST OF PRODUCING
COTTON IN GEORGIA

N. G. Murray of the United States
Department of Agriculture estimates
that it cost to produce cotton at the
taking of the last census, which was
in 1910, S.48 cents to produce a pound
of cotton, which is virtually 8 1-2
cents. He divides the cost according
to cents and decimals of a cent as
follows: fertilizer so, preparation SO,
seed .21, planting 49, cultivation 162,
gathering 1.79, ginning SO, rent 1873,
miscellaneous 81
The cost in Georgia of raising cot
ton is higher than in any other cot
ton producing state except Texas,
which is 1853 cents per pound Other
Southern states are as follows: North
Carolina 1922 cents, South Carolina 8.07
cents, Alabama 1872 cents, Louisiana
500 cents, Arkansas $40 cents, Ten
nessee $40 cents, Oklahoma 844 cents.

WHAT is THE PROPER
CROP ROTATION IN GEORGIA?
John r. Fain, Professor Agronomy,
Georgia State College of Ayr.

With the necessary elimination Of
cotton from the farm program this
year, what other crops will be grown
and what rotation should be followed
to get the largest use of the land
and reduce it's fertility least? Hay
must be considered as one of the great
essentials in a rotation. Georgia
farmers should consider for this pur-
pose soy beans, COW peas, sorghum,
millet and sudan grass. The perma-
nent pasture should be assigned a
place, the base of which should be
bermuda grass with which is sown
white and bur clover and rescue grass
to increase winter grazing. Paspalum
grasses should be encouraged of which
there are about so species growing in
the south.
The cereals should be given promi-
nence with the legume worked in as
frequently as practical. Each farmer
must face his own problem. Many
things enter into the consideration of
a proper rotation, such as the amount
of live stock to be fed, the market ad-
vantages for given crops, the adapta-
bility of the soil to various crops. etc.
