What the Farmers May Do Now.

In view of the fact that cotton
is almost a back number with us
this year it is urged that the
people throughout Chickasaw
County pitch right in toward
producing more food products
this fall and next year than has
ever been the case before. All
hav possible should be saved to
lengthen out the shortage in
corn yield. Save the peas for
next years planting and for
table use. 1t is important that
every man who can possibly do
so to put out a few acres in oats,
either this fall or next spring.
If grazing hogs or yearlings on
oats is desired the winter turf
oat is the best to SOW this fall; if
fall oats are sown with the view
of cutting next spring for hay
or grain the rust proof is among
the best. 1t is not a bad idea to
plant few acres of wheat. If
wheat is sown put it on good |
land or at least not on the poor
est land on the place. Then you
may expect to get some grain
and at the same time you have a
better chance in getting a corn
and pea crop from this same
wheat field next year after the
wheat is cut off. You may claim
that this is no wheat country
which is the case compared with
Kansas and the middle west,
but eight or ten bushels of wheat
to the acre acre represents bread
if it dosn't spell much money.
This county should follow and
practice safe farming, and while
safe farming, dosn't mean to cut
out cotton entirely but to sup
Dlement a good many cotton
acres to oats, wheat, clovers and
such other crops that will supply
