llvered very fine address upon
prosperous Sunday Schools"
The Marietta journal and courier. (Marietta, Ga.) 1909-1918, 1916-10-27

Given a typical Piedmont farm,
with its characteristic red clay SOIL
operating primarily as a cotton plan
tation, what can be done with it? In
other words, can this farm be chang
ed over to diversified proposition
with profit and success? Many a
land owner is confronted by just such
situation, and hence the topic is
OF general interest. That an under
taking of this character can be sue
cessfully accomplished has been clear
ly demonstrated at the College farm
at Athens. 1t has been the policy
to reclaim new area of land each
year. Unsatisfactory crops are raised
on much of this land the first year
or two after an attempt to reclaim
1t because of its eroded condition and
its bad physical state An increase
in the herds of live stock, thereby en-,
abling larger amounts of yard manure
to be made available each year and
its return to the soil, has resulted in
improving the land and increasing its
crop-yielding powers. Three hundred
and fifty acres of land are now under
the pillow.
The farm had been abused for years.
1t was without satisfactory buildings
or suitable equipment of implements
or live stock. 1t was determined at
once to organize it on the basis of a
stock farm, but without overlooking or
neglecting the possibilities of cultivat-
ing cotton and the varied crops adapt
ed to the soil and climatic conditions
OF the Piedmont area OF necessity the
equipment could only be slowly pur-
chased and assembled The first I'M
dertaking was to organize small dairy
herd and offer milk for sale. The re-.
ceipts from the herd the first year
amounted to $1,124,44, and the sales
of live stock to $7229. The value of
the cotton and the cotton seed was
$46972, making a total turnover of the
farm $1,799.37. This happened in the
college year 1907-1908. Nine years la
ter the sales from the dairy herd
amounted to $6,700.41, showing a
steady and uniform increase through.
out the period in question The sales
of live stock increased from $72.29 to
$3,O56.O2, showing an even greater in
crease. The sales from cotton and
cotton seed have varied somewhat &C.
cording to the season and the price
of the staple. The first year the crop
brought $469.62, and in other years
1t has sold for as much as $1,S31.S3.
The total receipts have varied from
