Value of Diversified Farming

Farm records show, and good farm
ers agree that diversified farming is
most profitable. Diversified farming
means raising livestock and various
kinds of crops. 1t gives opportunity
for crop rotation, for growing cover
crops in connection with profitable
cash crops, and enables the farmer to
more probably operate his fields with
out decreasing the fertility, but rather
adding to the productive ability of the
soil 1t enables the farmer to carry
out the best farm practices, including
the use of manures and fertilizers,
proper tillage, good seed, drainage and
Inning when necessary.

the corn came up unevenly and that

normal conditions his yield would have
been over 100 bushels per acre.

WHAT CAN Be DONE

College President Finds He
Can Clear Over SIS in a Year
With Proper Handling.

What can be done with an acre of
soil? President Andrew NJ. SOule, of
the Georgia State College of Agricul-
ture, wanted to know and determined
to find out. He selected an acre of
only fair fertility, used fertilizer at the
rate of 300 pounds per crop and plant
ed cabbage and Irish potatoes. About
5000 cabbage plants were set out and
the balance of the acre planted to po-
tatoes. The cabbage crop was sold
retail and wholesale and brought in
gross receipts of $40 The potatoes
were sold at 81 per bushel and brought
in SIS.
After the cabbage and potatoes were
removed, the acre was planted to corn.
During the roasting-ear season, $40
worth of ears were sold and the re-
mainder left to mature, yielding 40
bushels of corn, and ton and half

SOIL FERTILITY TIE BASIS
North Carolina Yields Greater Than
Virgin Land of Texos.

Is virgin land more profitable than
soil that has been intensively cult
waited for over q century? A compari-
son Of yields in Texas and North Caro-
lima shows that when attention is CIV
en- to the maintaining of soil fertility
the question of decreasing yields does
not trouble. The older land is in
creased rather than decreased in its
productivity. Texas averages sos
pounds of cotton per acre and North
Carolina averages 81A2 pounds per
acre, although North Carolina has
been intensively cultivated for over a
century.
Farmers of Maryland, Delaware and
Virginia who have been maintaining
fertility through manures and fertil-
izers are getting greater yields at low
er cost per unit than farmers of the
Middle West, who have been using
soil that but few years ago was vir-
gin land. With the fertility methods
which are becoming increasingly pop
ular throughout these states, the farm
ers are becoming more prosperous and
their soils are increasingly productive

"a New Year stepped bloyantly.
"a \ splendid youth he was, with

And, though the lights shone boldly

were empty. Only few men were
about, and as the wind swirled at cor

In one of the streets the New Year
met a woman. \ dark veil tiuttered
around her, so that he could not dis

INDIANS USED FISH
TO BUILD UP SOILS
EARLY SETTLERS IN VIRGINIA
TAUGHT LESSON IN BETTER
FARMING IN 1882 BY NATIVES.

The Indians were the first farmers in
America. Investigations of their meth
DDS show that they understood the
value of applying fertilizer in growing
corn. The words "menhaden" and
'poghaden" meant fertilizer, according
to Professor Trumbull, an authority on
Indian life. In Virginia, in 1882, Thorn
as Morton wrote: There is a fish (by
some called shads, by some allizes)
that at the spring of the year passes
and are taken in such multitudes each
year in every river that hath pond
at the end, that the inhabitants fer
tilize their land with them. You may
see in one township a hundred acres
altogether that have been set with
these fish, each acre taking 1000 Of
them. An acre thus dressed will pro-
duce and yield as much corn as three
acres without fish"
In New England, an Indian, Squanto,
taught the Pilgrims how to raise corn
by fertilizing the land with fish, caught
in early April. Governor Bradford, in
his History Of the Plymouth Colony"
says that Squanto taught the settlers
that except they got fish and set the
old grounds with them, 1t would come
to nothing" Squanto's teachings were
tried in 1921, and the following year.

of corn and six acres of barley, treated
as Squanto had taught, made an excel

Lime Supplements Fertilizers

Lime does not take the place of ferti-
lizers or manures, but supplements
them, according to Bulletin 4C0, Of the
Geneva Experiment Station, New
York. When the use of lime in any
form is continued alone, and no ade-
quate provision is made for maintain
ing the supply of fertilizers and
organic matter. crops cannot be kept
up and the returns in the use of lime
become less and may finally drop
below that of land unlimed, according
to this bulletin and also the results
found by the Ohio and other expert

Soaring last years disappointments
From your memories away.

Firm resolving you will seek it
Every day throughout the year.
Clouds which darken your horizon,
While you're gazing toward the

Are collections of thin vapor
Which viii soon drift out of sight.
Let unselfish love for others
Prompt you oft to noble deeds;
Flowers blooming by the roadside
Are moro beautiful than weeds.
Through ife's ma2es We all wander,
Many stumble as though blind,
So helping hand be often
Stretching forth to lift mankind.
May this New Year be much better
Than the other years you've passed.

Built to hold your future fast.

So your edifce won't snake
Should the earth begin to tremble
With a war or giant quake.
