WHEAT ROTATION
CROPPING SYSTEM THAT WILL
Insure LARGER PRODUCTION
OF NEEDED CEREAL.

Whether Southern farmers can
return their allotment Of the billion
bushel wheat crop next year will de
pend in large part on how they ar
range their crop rotations-how they
select fields for planting to wheat
this fall. In special publications
soon to be issued, wheat specialists
OF the United States Department of
Agriculture will call attention to
the Importance Of rotations in the
greater wheat production plan.
Mention crop rotations to farmer
who does not practice them syste-
matically and he is likely to get the
impression that such system of
farming is rather unnecessary, com
plicated round. And, yet, once
understood, no theory of farming is
simpler or more logical or more
necessary, the specialists point out.
What happens when land is
cropped continuously to wheat is
depletion Of soil fertility, a deteri-
Grafton in the physical condition of
the soil, accumulation of plant dis
eases in the soil, increased growth
of weeds, mixtures of varieties, and
lowering yields of poorer quality.
Even if soil fertility and a fairly
good physical condition of the soil
are maintained by the addition of
chemicals, continuous cropping is
not advisable on account of it's cost
and the further reason mentioned.
Wheat should be grown only in
rotation with legumes and cult
waited crops in the Southern states
the rotations and the particular crop
wheat should follow some legume
crop, such as cowpeas or soy beans,
as better yields are obtained after
these crops than after corn.
In the southern part of the cot
ton belt, where the boil weevil is a
serious pest, the following rotation
is giving good results.
First year-CoSton. The cotton
stalk is plowed under early and
wheat sown.
Second year.-Wheat, followed by
cowbeas or soys beans to be cut for
hay.
Third year.-Corn and velvet
beans. Beans and cornstalks pas
tured and turned under in early
spring for cotton.
Good farm practice under boil
weevil conditions requires that the
cotton stalks be plowed under as
soon as the bolls are all open and
picked care being taken to cover
the stalks completely in order to de
stroy the insects. The land should
then be gone over with roller and
| the wheat sown with disk drill.
narrowing is not advisable, as it I'M
earths the buried stalks.
When elvet beans are grown with
corn, which is the common practice
in much of the southern half OF the
cotton belt, wheat can not be sown
in thp standing corn; neither can
the crop be removed in time for
fall seeding. 1t is necessary then
that wheat follow some other crop
yields of wheat can be erpected fol
lowing cotton than after corn.

4 A prohibition city is always a pros
porous city, exceedingly more pros
porous than its sister cities of similar
size which are the prey of the licens-
ed saloon Richmond, Virginia, has
added another item to the long list
Of credits on the prohibition ledger.
With prohibition in effect but twelve
months, Richmond has the proud dis
tinction of being the first federal re-
serve city to subscribe its allotment
to the second Liberty Loan, and it
oversubscribed its first Liberty Loan
some $5,000000.
The Richmond Virginian, in re-
cent editorial, explains in some de-
tail what prohibition has done for the
city and state. 1t says:
what of the day? What do Vir-
ginians think of the operations of the
law? Have men been made better or
worse? Are women happier or less
happy? Are the jails and other SIM
liar institutions more populous or less
populous? Has the sum of human
suffering been increased or decreased :?
Are accidents in our industrial plants
more or less frequent? Are the fam
lilies of that great class, which once
so literally contributed to the pros
perity of the liquor dealers, better off
or worse off
These are practical questions. The
tree is known by its fruits, the wis
dom or unwisdom of particular law
by its results. Whom shall we have
to answer these questions? Shall we
go out in the highways and hedges to
find the drunkard and the poverty
stricken to reply? Surely not-for
the man who once was barroom loaf
err is no longer liquor sodden, but a
respectable member of the commun-
ity. supporting his family, well-dress-
ed. well-fed, well housed. shall we
go to those good people who never let
the demon rum rest until he was rout-
cd and driven across our state line
Perhaps, but not altogether. 1t might
be said by some that they see only
what they desire to see."
