AGRICULTURAL NOTES
CORN PRODUCTION
IN MORGAN COUNTY
Editor Morgan County Press.

Editor Morgan County Press.
Mr. Editor: l believe that the
citizens are absolutely inexcusabls
for not producing corn sufficient
for their own consumption on the
pretext that their land Is not fer.
tile enough to produce in a paying
capacity. True the soiltin Morgan
County in some places is not as
.fostile as it ia in others, but there =.
are but few acres in the County
which will not produce profitably
if proper preparations are made
upon the soil. The soil must con.
tain the required chemicals in the
proper ratio. These are humus,
nitrogen, .phosphoric acid, potash,
etc. Most of these chemicals are
contained in animal ferterlizer or
barn yard manure. Unfortunately
this ferterlizer is scarce on most
farms because of the scarcity Of
stock, Every particle of such fer
terlizer should be saved and i'm
medlately hauled out upon the
ground. The required chemicals
are supposed to be prevalent in the
so called commercial fcrterlizer,
but [ would not advise the use Of
this commercial ferterlizer, because
its cost very often balances the
profit. The growing Of whooper-
will peas. Wy beans and other lug
{ umes two or three years before
planting the field in corn will add
greatly to the power Of the soil. In
fact will prove better than using
commercial ferterlizer The adding
Of the common burnt lime will
greatly improve the soil. If the
soil is sour this lime will set it in
the yielding and sweetened condi.
tion.
The farmers interested in corn
production for profit or for their
own use should write to the De.
partment of Agriculture at Wash
inton for Bulletin No. Ala.
Too many farmers delight to
have large acreage in all crops.
The number of acres should be of
miner Importance, and the number
of acres which can be properly and
efficiently titled with the stock and
time. should be of major impor-
tance. If one can produce so bush
els upon one acre while his neigh
Dor produces 80 bushels on two
acres which is the better Off
l should like to see alfalfa grown
in Morgan County, and next week
l will try to introduce it to the
farmers.
