KIRBY MAKES APPEAL
TO HENRlCO FARMERS
shows How Crop Production May Yet
lie Increased md What Crops
May Yet tie Planted.

w. l.. Kirby, agricultural agent of
the Richmond Chamber Of Commerce,
issued yesterday the following appeal
addressed to tho farmers of Henrico
County.
The present condition of our coun-
try makes IL Imperative that each
farmer should cndcavor to produce the
maximum amount of food and feed this
summer The reasons for this state
mcnt have been so widely disseminated
through tho press and other agencies
that they need no further comment.
I'VE arc all aware Of the fact that
throughout this country corn has had
To he rcplantcd and even ut the pres
cnt time tho season is unfaNorablc. and
the crop looks weak. This means that
unless we exert ourselves to the ut
most from now until the end OF the
season, the production of our county
will he below normal, in season
whore maximum production is desired.
"onr county is particularly blessed
in it's long growing season. Corn, COW
peas, soy beans, tirir. beans. sweet po-
tatocs and late Irish potatoes may he
planted MP to the first Of July with
fair assurance Of a paying crop. Will
not the farmers Of our county en-
dcavor to plant all OF each of tho above
crops during this month that they can
keep cultivated. and by this means CON
vert threatened undcrproduction Of
food and feed into one above normal?
Corn. cowpeas and SOY beans will all
make valuable feed for all classes OF
live stock. Where hogs are kept they
can he hoEGcd down to save the cx-
pcnsc of harvest. Cow peas and soy
beans make the finest grade of hay
for horses and cattle.
Corn may he planted by the usual
method. but AN early variety, such as
Virginia Golden Dent should be used.
as tho season is now short. Since the
price OF COW peas and soy beans IL
so high. we recommend that these
crops he planted in rows two and one
half to three feet apart this season.
this method only about one third of
and if the crop is cultivated twice
with the ordinary corn cultvator the
yield of both hay and seed will he as
great rs If the crop were sown broad
cast.
Edible COW peas (cornheld pcas).
navy beans, sweet potatoes and Irish
potatoes should be planted I'm uuanti-
ties at least sufficient for family use
and the prospects are that If some arc
grown for sale they will bring good
prices Cow peas when grown for
food. should he cultivated just as rec
commended for stock peas and beans
Navy beans arc cultivated in the same
manner as the ordinary string or snap
bean.
For the further information in re-
gard to cultivation of these and other
crops. apply 10 agricultural agent,

SAVE MAN POWER

IL the South would arrange this
winter TO make better use Of its man
power, the labor shortage would not
be felt, for there would not be any
shortage. The efficiency of Southern
labor could be increased from ten to
one hundred per cent, depending up
on the section and the farm under
consideration. Now is the time 10
plan for that. This winter eveners
should be made so that three and
four horses can be hitched TO the
plow and harrow. On many farms
the change can be made from a one
horse pillow TO a two-horse pillow,
while on others the change should
be from a two-horse pillow to a four
horse pillow that turns two burrows
and doubles the work that one man
will do. Three or four horses should
be put 10 the disc and section har-
row large enough for three or four
horses should be rugged up. A cul.
tivator that will finish a row at a
trip should replace the one that re'.
quires two trips TO the row, and on

some farms a cultiyator should DC
gotten that finishes two rows at q
trip. Corn should in many cases be
planted with check-rowers so it can
be cultivated both ways. This will
eliminate any need for hoeing. All
over the South the section harrow
and weeder should be used more to
kill weeds and fine the surface soil
before the cotton. corn. potatoes, and
other cultivated crops come up, and
a time or two afterward. This will
save the more expensive inter-tillage
and will help TO eliminate hand cul-
tivation.

PORK PRODUCTION FOR 1919

There is now a campaign being
conducted turnout the entire United
States for an increase in pork pro-
duction. The United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture urges every far
mer to do his personal share toward
increasing pork production in 1919
by i5ct turnout the United States.
The supply Of breeding sows is
undoubtedly short this fall. The
breeding ranks will have to he filled
90 a considerable extent with gifts
from the fattening pens and feeding
lots. These gifts will not produce
quite so large litters as mature sows
NAV be expected to produce. There
fore, farmers using gifts should
breed more than if breeding mature
sows in order to increase spring
pigs.
want to urge every farmer to
stop selling sows and gifts and go to
breeding TO increase the pork pro-
duction. Remember the three BIS
Bread, Beans, and Bacon. It's past
Bread and Bean raising time but we
are face TO face with the Bacon sea-
son. NOW is the time to raise the
pork production by breeding our
sows. Let the hogs help fight this
great war by raising big families
and sending them to the Allies to
reinforce the ranks. The sows are
patriotic and will gladly send their
sons to fight on the water, land or
in the air if we as farmers and
patriotic American citizens will en-
courage by selecting, breeding, and
feeding.

Our boys must be fed, as we'll as
our Allies. We can't, at this present
time. produce the bread or the
beans, but we can produce the bacon.
There is now a campaign being car
ried on throughout the United states
to increase the pork production.
Kentucky's part in this great cam
paign will be 25q6 increase over last

a leader Of your community to get

sows, and breeding them this month.
Early pigs are much better than late

keeping these sows and breeding
them at this time. Would be glad
to hear from you telling me what
you did along this line, and what
you are going to do. Report to me
the number Of men you talk to. and
the number OF men you influen-
ced to keep. and breed their sows.
am ready to help you carry on a
campaign in your own community.
I believe that this is our patriotic
duty, as citizens Of the United
States at this present time. We
must produce more pork to win
this war. Be glad to hear from
you at any time.

ton, and Kentucky lifted to 1919 in
