COMMUNITY LOCATED IN ONE OF THE
 FINEST AND HEALTHIEST SECTIONS OF ALABAMA

One of the most prosperous, one of the most beautiful cities in Calhoun county is Piedmont, which rests at that point where the Terrapin and Nances creeks cross the geological trough known in the state as the Coosa val ley. Piedmont is few short miles from the Georgia boundary and is sit uated in Gods own country, with mountains and streams plains and val leys, forests and fields, orchards and meadows, cozy homes and gardens to be seen on all sides
 Piedmont long has been known as the center of a very desirable farm ing section of Alabama, but it received its first great impetus in the early sos, when the Piedmont Land Improvement company was formed by residents ot Calhoun county with the aid of east ern~ capital. W. G. Ledbetter was vice president of this company in 1890, but in 1S92 was given complete control, the president of the company hereto fore having been a resident of Della ware, and had never superintended the property over which he was the execu- tive head.

THE MANAGEMENT OF WINTER PASTURES

that they are given some grain, as they
always should be.
Since cereals intended for grain pri.
marily are sown later and at smaller
rate Of seeding, they can not be relied
upon for as high production as those
seeded for winter pasture only. The
grazing period must be much shorter
by beginning later in the fall and stop.

be removed even earlier, while sheep
and hogs may remain with less dam.

Wherever practicable, crops should
be grazed at successive stages by
changing the stock at intervals of sew.
eral days or a few weeks. This prac,
tice requires the division of the field
into at least two areas, but pastures
are made more productive than they
would be under constant use.
Rye will stand closer grazing than
any Of the other grains. The closer
grazing should be done in the spring
rather than in the fall on fields where
a grain crop is not expected.
The aim should be never to allow
stock on these pastures while the land
is wet or the crop covered with frost.
The injury to the physical condition of
the land, especially clay soils, from
tramping while wet may far exceed
the profit obtained with the growth of
the stock. Even with thick, early
seeding, this difficulty will remain and
must not be lost sight of. However,
the more abundant the covering, the
smaller will be the damage.
To overcome this difficulty, rye may
be seeded into red clover or Japan
clover sod by discing lightly, and then
seeding the rye with disc drill dur.
ing the first days Of October. The
land remains firm and there is little
damage from treading of stock,
We can not emphasize too strongly
the Importance of providing ample
winter pastures for all classes Of
stock, and especially hogs and sheep.
They can not be raised at a good profit
without it. It is equally important that
both the pastures and the land upon
which they grow be used judiciously,

Probably larger acreage Of small
grain and clover has been sown this
fall, for the sole purpose Of grazing
throughout the winter season, than
ever before in Tennessee. Moreover,
the usually high prices Of all kinds of
live stock, and the extreme scarcity
Of roughage available for winter feed
ing will invite many stockmen to turn
stock on both the area sown for that
purpose and also the fields that are
TO be harvested for grain. Both prac-
tees seem to be wise. In the former
case, If a clover Is sown with the
grain, fertility will be added to the
soil at the same time it Is furnishing
one of the most economical feeds in
the South. In the case Of the crop
intended for grain, grazing may often
be practiced on rich lands without de-
creasing the grain yield. 1t is occa-
sionally beneficial On poorer lands,
a decrease in the grain yield Is likely
to result, but at present prices, the
profit from the stock will more than
overbalanee the decrease in grain, and
at the same time keep the fertility on
the land. It is important, therefore,
that the winter pasture should be man
aged so that the maximum amount of
green forage will be obtained, and in
the case of the grain crop, the de-
crease in yield will be reduced to a
minimum.
The key to success with cereal crops
and legumes sown entirely for pasture
purposes lies in thick seeding in late
August or early September, on q seed
bed that has been well prepared. The
crops should then be allowed to attain
a height of three or four inches before
the stock are allowed upon them Too
often pastures are injured, and their
possibilities are wasted, for the sake
Of a few days pasture in the early fall,
whereas their efficiency might be
greatly increased for winter and spring
use by waiting a short time.
The greater the number of stock to
be used on a given area, the longer
should the grazing period be delayed.
Climatic and soil conditions must also
be considered Under ordinary con-
ditions, an August-sown pasture on
land of medium fertility should carry

One of the foremost advantages OF
q well-planned rotation Of crops is,
that 1t provides a suitable place for
the application Of stable manure and
renders possible its most efficient use.
Since 1t is impracticable to attempt to
spread the manure over the entire
farm during any single year, and since
It is desirable that each field should
receive its share during the rotation,
1t seems to be the best plan to apply
1t always to that crop which makes the
best use of 1t.
The question naturally arises: ITO
which of the farm crops shall manure
be applied, how, and when?" While
all crops ordinarily grown on the farm
would be benefited by appropriate ap-
plioations, there are some to which it
10 better adapted than others, and
should have the preference, II there is
mot q sufficient supply for all
The common practice Ii to manure
the corn first. The reason has been
that this crop holds first place az a
food producer and as an economical
user Of plant food. Manure without
the reinforcement Of mineral fertiliz-
,0rs must be considered chiefly as a
carrier Of nitrogen and vegetable mat
ter. Corn has greater power to utilize
immense quantities Of nitrogen. even

than any other crop. 1t RECEIVERS
higher percentage Of any plant food
placed in the soil.
There are other considerations, how
ever, in the use Of stable manure. Its
residual or permanent effect, aside
from its plant food content, must not
be ignored. Its great value in getting
and maintaining stands Of clover and
grass stands out unquestioned in the
light of actual farm experience. More
over, this is. of first Importance in the
improvement of soils which have gone
down IN crop production. How to grow
cloves successfully Is the fundamental
orr n Of Tennessee agriculture.
4yr'the present at least the Expert
ment Station is recommending that
manure be applied to the grain crop
with which clovers and grasses are
usually sown. The only exceptions to
this practice are made in limited areas
where the natural fertility of the soil
Is such that there is danger of the ma
nNre causing the grain crop toelodge
(here clover can usually be. grown
without manure), and where clover
Is being grown successfully because,
Of liberal applications Of lime and
phosphate. When this condition is
true on the average farm, the practice
Of applying manure should be changed,
but until clover is grown successfully,
1t should continue to have the
preference.
It is not always possible to get onto
the grain fields in winter. The alterna-
tive would be, in the case of fattening
cattle or sheep, to leave 1t under the
feet of the animals on the concrete

A Great Corn State.

Mississippi seems to be achlev-
ing reputation as a corn state n
fact at the farmers roundup
institute, in session at Starkvllle,
agricultural experts declared it the
greatest corn state in the union,
basing their assertions upon actual
results that have been achieved in
this state.
DR.. ]. A. Evans, Of the United
states department Of agriculture,
in an address before that body,
declared that the state OF Mlssls-
sippi could raise more corn to the
acre than any Of the states in the
great Western belt, which is at
present regarded as the greatest
corn area OF the world.
From figures taken from the Gen.
sus reports, Mississippi is cedited
with raising 45,845,0 900 bushels OF
corn in 1908. Five years later,
in 1918, the census figures show
that she had increased her yield
by 18,755,O0O bushels, having
produced that year 64,600,OOO
bushels. A recent estimate Of the
Mississippi crop by the derart-
ment Of agriculture places the
total corn yield Of the state this
year at 100000 bushels, an
increase of Is, 100000 bushels for
the past two years, or a total ~iln=
crease Of 81, 1555; $500 zee for the eight
year period from 1908 to 1915,
inclusive, being an average in
crease of more than 100000
bushels per year.
DR.. Evans, in making his claim
for Mississippi, as the greatest
corn producing state in the union,
cited as evidence to support his
statement a remark ofDr. Benson,
government expert for the bows
corn clubs, Of the North, who, in
explaining the fact that in the
contests in these clubs the North
ern and Western youths raised
from rs to 100 bushels per acre,
while the Southern boys had a
yield of from $50 to 225, said that
it was as great an achievement to
raise 100 bushels in the North as
200 bushels in the South"
Not only is Mississippi a great
corn state, but SHE is a great meat
state, and her people are gradually
waking up to the fact that they
are no longer dependent upon
cotton for a living. Jackson,
