REDUCE ACREAGE or COTTON
Difficulties Of Getting staple Shipped

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
declares that IF the Southern farmer
fs even moderately wise he will reduce
his cotton acreage from last year, rath-
or than increase It." It points out
that the dificulties Of getting cotton
abroad ara steadily increasing. and
adds:
"on the other hand, the demand
for good crops bids fair to increase.
Corn and wheat and oats. hogs and
COWS and chickens bid fair to be
even higher next fall than they have
been before. Foreign nations can
and will have these products. and we
also have lOO,Oe0,000 people in this
country to feed. In other words, the
outlook is bullish on everything to
eat. While 1t may not be decidedly
bearish on cotton, 1t can easily be
made SO with big yield this year.
IF farmers of the South increase
their cotton acreage this year at the
expense Of feed and food crops they
will buy food this fall at record high
prices and pay for 1t out Of low
priced cotton"

GROWING RED CLOVER
Not Advisable to Begin Culture on
Very Large Scale.
Maintains Nitrogen Of Soils In Prinel-
pal crop-Produclng Sectlons--crop
Must Not Be Depended Upon
as Cure-AII.
Ry J. NJ. wEsrGATE.)

The production of clover is the foun-
dalton of agriculture in the eastern
and north central states, as upon its
successful growth depends to a large
extent the maintenance of the nitro
gen content of the soils in the prin-
cipal crop-producing sections. Red
clover also grows well In the southern
states on rich limestone soils which
are in good condition, but needs to be
managed somewhat differently from
the methods followed in the nopthern
states.
But clover must not be looked upon
as cure-all for farm troubles. Its
roots do add large quantities of the
very valuable nitrogen and humus to
the soil, but aside from bringing up
a limited supply Of phosphoric acid
and potash from the lower layers Of
the soil 1t does not add the other i'm
portant fertilizer elements to the soil
upon which 1t grows. Upon many
soils these elements particularly
phosphoric acid) must be added the
same as though no clover was being
grown upon them.
SO long as the soil is fairly well
supplied with humus and is not too
greatly depleted of the ordinary fer
tilizer elements, there is usually no
difficulty in obtaining successful
stands OF clover by the ordinary meth
DDS of seeding; but when continued
cropping reduces the humus content
of the soil to point below that re-
quired for successful clover produc-
ton 1t becomes necessary to adopt
radical means to restore the ground
to its proper condition. 1t has been
repeatedly shown that the failure of

PROPER CARE OF MACHINERY
Implements Exposed to Moisture Rust
Out Rapidly-coat All Metals
With Cheap Oils.

Machinery, where exposed to mois-
ture, rusts out very rapidly. In fact,
rust does more damage to the ex-
posed machinery than the work which,
the implement is called upon to do.
This is a needless waste, however,
because rust can practically be over
come by taking the proper care of the
machine when not in use.
Farmers could get more than twice
as much wear out of most implements,
IL they we're housed properly. This
alone will not suffice in some climates.
A very good way to keep the rust irons
attacking iron parts exposed to mois--
ture is to coat all the iron with very
cheap oil. This oil should be thick
and heavy, so that when applied to-
the iron II will not run on.
This coating of oil viii keep all Of
the moisture away from the iron and
therefore will prevent rust from start.

potash. This is about per cent phos-
phoric acid, S.25 per cent nitrogen and
l per cent potash, and makes very
satisfactory mixture for many soils
where field crops are to be grown.
For trucking and gardening present
practice demands a higher content of
potash, and the mixture may be sup
plemented by the application OF I'M
leached wood ashes If obtainable.
Nitrogen in cottonseed meal is not
so quickly available as when applied
in the form Of nitrate, but on the other
hand is not so likely to be leached out
in times of heavy rainfall. In light
sandy soils, where teaching is rapid.
the use of organic material such as
cottonseed meal is to be preferred in
supplying the necessary nitrogen, De-
cay of the organic material liberates
the nitrogen gradually and there is
much less danger of loss than is the
case when soluble salts, like Chilean
nitrate. are used. sst
Most of the mineral ingredients In
cottonseed meal are recovered in the
manure II the material is used as q
cattle feed. The most economical use
of cottonseed meal is, therefore, TO
feed it and apply the manure to the
land. In this way the material is made
to serve double purpose. European
dairymen have for some years bought
large quantities of American cotton.
seed meal for feeding purposes. AS
the live stock industry develops in our
southern states doubtless an increas.
ing amount of this material will be di.
verted from the fertilizer trade for use
as stock feed, and at present wher.
ever possible the practice of feeding
the meal and using the manure for
fertilizer should be followed, rather
than the direct application of the cot.
tonseed meal to the land.

BIG VALUE OF FERTILIZERS
5arnyard Manure Improves Physical
Conditions of Soil and Makes Il
Easy to Handle.

Barnyard manure has value on the
farm aside from that as fertilizer.
1t improves the physical conditions of
the soil and makes 1t easier to handle.
Its decay produces heat and its pres
ence aids chemical and bacterial
processes. Moreover, 1t absorbs and
holds large amount Of water and
helps to aerate the soil The bene.
fits of these indirect aids to plant
growth are in some cases worth as
much as the fertilizing power Of the
manure.
When 1t is added that barnyard ma
nure is worth perhaps $3.50 ton, and
that each farm animal produces from
five to seven tons per 1000 pounds Of
live weight each year, it is easy to see
that as fertilizer the material should
not be wasted.
The best practice is to haul the stun
directly from the barn to the fields.
II this is done, there is little loss
through fermentation or teaching.

the trough at least three inches thick.
One method of building hog trough
requires an outer form only. Mix the
concrete dry enough that 1t may be
tamped against the side of the form
into the shape desired. Paint the in

Use two-foot lengths of one-inch gas
pipe across the trough, to keep the
hogs out of it. For holding the pipe
in position, set one-half.inch bolts in
pairs, heads down, in the soft con.
crete SO that the pipes will fit be-
tween them and can be held firm by q
strap iron over the bolts. For this
purpose choose one-half-inch bolts Of
SUFFICIENT length to extend four inches

As TO whether or not he can stand

Mules are said TO be less subject TO

the clover In a section is but a pro-
phecy of the early failure of other
leading crops in that particular sec
ton.
The substitution of alsike for ordi-
nary red clover will enable clover to
be continued in the rotation on some
soils which no longer grow the ordi-
nary red clover. The lack of humus
In the soil is the most potent factor
in the failure of red clover in these
sections, but other factors such as
too acid soil and the presence of
fungous diseases or insect enemies,
must also be overcome. Lining and
proper drainage will overcome the
soil acidity. The insect and fungous
diseases may be held in check by
clipping or cutting at the proper time
and by furnishing the proper soil con-
ditions to produce q crop so vigor-
GUS that 1t win succeed In spite of
the enemies which prove troublesome

DOES POPCORN PAY7
Foundation Of Agriculture in
Many Of the States.
Profit Depends Largely on Farmers
Ability to Secure Good Quality,
Store Crop Properly and Mar
ket II Advantageously.
CIV c. p. HARTLEY


The question Does 1t pay to grow
POPCORN" is frequently asked, and the
answer is yes" 1t pays to grow pop
corn, but owing TO the limited market
for this crop it would not be advisable
to begin its culture on a large scale.
The supply at present just about
equals the demand. No farmer should
expect to grow rich in q few years
time by growing popcorn. II the good
years are averaged up with the poor
ones, this crop will be found to pay
about as well as field corn. Any farm
er in the corn-producing states can
produce popcorn, but the profit de-
ponds largely upon the producers abil-
ity to grow popcorn Of good quality,
store his corn properly, and market it
advantageously.
The main portion Of the crop which
find its way to the large markets is
grown in few localities in Iowa and
Nebraska by farmers who make a
specially of producing and handling
popcorn. Usually from 10 to so acres
are grown on single farms.
During the past, much OF the crop
was grown on contract. but at present
farmers are becoming more independ-
ent. Many have cribs Of their own in
which they store and cure their crop
and take chances on the market ris-
ing higher than the contract price
or the price at harvest time. In Iowa
and Nebraska elevator men have been
accustomed to buying up the bulk Of
