VETS $4,000 FROM
I2O ACAE.:,, Of OATS
DR. DONALD TELLS OF JONES
COUNTY FARMERS SUCCESS
WITH DIVERSIFIED CROPS.

How a Jones county farmer, who
used to make fair living raising cot.
ton exclusively is now clearing $4,000
year on 230 acres of land by diversi-
flying his crops is the story told by DR..
J. d. Donald, who returned today from
a campaigning trip in the northern
part OF that county.
The farm is that of ]. E. Parker &
Son near Sandersville, and contains
800 acres. Six years ago much of this
land was in stumps and gullies. To
day it is in corn, oats, lespedaza and q
small acreage Of cotton.
One hundred and twenty acres
iS I'm oats and this is found te
be one of the most profitable of all
the crops. From this acreage Parker
& Son have gathered and are now
thresifing, with their new and latest
improved steam thresher, 5000 bushels
of oats. An agent of the Department
of Agriculture inspected these oats
several days ago and advised Mr.. Park.
er not to feed any Of it, because, he
said, is was such a good quality that
all Of it ought to be used for seed.
Mr.. Parker expects to sell his oat
crop at 81 bushel, or $4,000 for the
crop.
. But this is not the only return he
will get from the 100 acres he has in
oats. He will follow the oats with
Iespedeza, and will get two cuttings of
this hay We will harvest only one
cutting, however, and will cut the Sec
ond crop and turn it under as a ferti-
lizer for next years oat crop.
In addition to this 100 acres, he has
sixty acres in lespedeza alone. This
crop is easily grown, he says, and
produces good returns. He has 100
acres in corn which is in fine condition.
But thirty acres are planted in cot
ton, and he pays very little attention
to this crop. Last year he had but ten
acres of cotton and made the highest
net profit of any year he has been in
the farming business.
Dr. Donald says Mr.. Parker is per-
haps the leading farmer in the immedi-
ate neighborhood, but that practically
all the farmers in the northern part of
Jones county are practicing diversifi'
cation of crops. He says this section
is much ahead Of Forrest county in
the application of modern ideas Of ag-
riculture, and that none of the farmers
would think of returning to the old
one-crop system.

Explains Jones county's Attitude.
DR.. Vaughn says that in Jones coun-
ty the dynamiting of the watts was not
due to the opposition to dipping so
much as it was a political move to dis
credit the county board Of supervisors.
Some of the people. he said, thought
that the county board acted arbitrarily
in putting in the watts and they were
taking that means of showing their
disapproval. There are 81 watts in
Jones county and wherever they have
been tried the good results have made
converts to dipping. Most of the peo
pie in Jones county now, he says, are
in favor of dipping their cattle. .,
