tor Lloyd of the A. and M. Col
lege, food stuffs will continue
high for several years. The
farmers who have a garden,
enough poultry to furnish the
the family and with some to sell,
and, with small farmers, at least
two brood sows. and two milF
cows are the only ones who can
make cotton q satisfactory casf
crop.
These men, having something
to sell all during the year will

Purchasing Power of
Cotton has Decreased

Before planting large acreages
of cotton for this year the farm
ers who are over enthusiastic on
twenty-cent cotton are invited
by Director Lloyd, of the Missis-
sippi A. and M. College expert
ment station to stop and think
on the purchasing power OF cot
ton now, and when it was selling
at twelve cents a pound. In
this connection Mr.. Lloyd re-
Gently. said:
Everybody knows that when
cotton was at twelve cents a
pound, meat could be bought for
10 and IL cents aspound. flour at
81. so to SIS a barrel AMI corn for
60 to 70 cents a bushel. Now
with 20 cent cotton we have
20 and Is cent meat, $11 flour,
and 81. Is to $1.25 corn, making
the present purchasing price OF
cotton less than the former.
"Of course with the farmer
who has plenty of everything
these high prices of food don't
count for much, but ninety-hve
Ipercent Of our farmers do not
have what they need, and are in
no better position than the man
on a salary"

No matter how rich your land,
a crop Of beans will make it
richer; and no matter how poor
your land, velvet beans will make
it as good as your neighbor's.
We don't believe there is an
acre of land in the South but
what two crops of velvet beans
will make it grow twenty to
thirty bushels of corn to the acre
without one pound of commercial

Velvet Beans One of
Mississippi's Best Crops

mo less : in importance to |
growing our food is the question
Of raising sufficient feed for our
livestock and building up our
soils," says Director Lloyd, oil
the Mississippi Experiment Sta
ton and Extension Department.
Zone Of the best feed and fer
tilizer crops our farmers can
grow" he continued, is velvet
beans. Crushed velvet beans in
the hull and corn in equal pro-
portions make a balanced ration
for aogs, cattle or horses, and
the vines are worth as much as
Sl7 an acre for fertilizer. The
meal from the beans in the hulls
is worth about half as much as
high grade cotton seed meal,
testing about 4a percent OF tat
and II to 18 percent protein.
"The yields Of this crop are
fenormous. Even after severe
storms 280O pounds Of beans in
the hull were harvested per acre,
Of tbn McNeil Branch Station
and it has been no trouble tc
make as much as 5000 pounds tt
the acre. The harvesting is MOI
expensive as a good hand car

Planting and Cultivation of
Velvet Beans

By w. B. Oates, Headland, Ala.
We have been planting velvet
beans for years and have tried
various modes of cultivation and
also various kinds of beans. but
for the last few years we have
planted only the Early Speckled
be- n.
We usually plant corn in April
or the last days of March, and
we plant velvet beans right in
the corn row with the corn.
On rich land we put the beans
about four feet apart in the
corn row, or to make it a little
palmer, on such land put our
rows about three and one-half
feet and corn. about sixteen in
ches, and then with every third
grain of corn we drop two velvet
beans. On poor land we usually
nut our rows four feet and corn
eighteen inches, and drop two
beans with every other grain OF
corn. On real light sandy land
we place rows four feet apart
and corn three feet in the drill
and drop two beans with ever,
hill of corn.
With the above plan, one car
make just as much corn and al
the same time q fine crop O
| beans.
Some people argue that tn
beans planted this way will hur
the corn, but on actual tests w
have found same to be untrue
This is from the fact that a vel
vet bean draws its nitrogen fron
the air, the corn drawing it
feed from the soil. Then som
say that the bean vine absorb
too much moisture from the 90

you can go lnC0 d corn ueiu Will
beans and without beans, and
you will find where you have
a rank growth of beans that
your corn will hold it's color much
longer than iu the field where
there are no beans. The shade
of the beans around the roots OF
the corn protects them and the
soil from the hot sun, and there
is no question but that you have
more moisture with beans than
without them.
! When planted as above, the
beans will COME up in a few days |
after the corn, and when the
beans get about two or three
inches high we take a straight
tooth harrow and place the hitch
to one side, take out the center
tooth, drop the two front teeth
just as low as we can get them;
then raise the two back teeth on
each side to where they will
show about four inches under
the frame; then take a board and
place on the ends of the front
tooth, letting same go back and
rest on the back tooth, then adjust
all other teeth down to where
they will touch this board; we
thenlhitch the mule to the har-
row and let him walk to one
side of the corn and let the har-
row straddle the corn row, which
leaves your corn and beans in a
pretty shape.
To make the adjustment OF the
harrow a little palmer, if your
harrow has four teeth on the
side let your front tooth show
ten inches below the frame, the
next tooth s inches, the next 6
4 inches and the next A inches
Ii This does not DO exactly, ad
just SO your front teeth on each
4 side will reach into the soil righ
near the corn, then so your mex
4 outside teeth will hit the sol
4 about three inches on the outside
& of the teeth, and your next thre
inches outside of the path of tn
former teeth and so on.
The next plowing after thi
narrowing we use a small 12-inc
scrape and scooter, two furrow
= to the row; we next use "a
:nch heavy scrape and 7-inc
# blunt or short shovel, and tn
next time we lay by with
spring tooth harrow. A han
!. that is careful at all will nc
II cover up any beans, and by tn
4 above method you are alway
d plowing your corn very shallow
= We plant beans in every ro'
% of corn that we plant. Thi
a year we put up one hundred an
fifty tons of beans and corn fC
il silage, and it makes as good 81
