Reports from our correspondents
throughout the state indicate that
there has been more fall and winter
plowing than usual Much new land
has been broken and the cultivated
area materially enlarged, while straw
spreaders and other methods are be-
ing employed to place the land in bet
ter productive condition for the season
Of 1917.
From every section come reports
showing improvement in live stock
while in some instances the herds are
decreased numerically. the difference
is more than made up by improvement
of quality. Farmers are more and
more directing their attention to their
dairy herds, realizing that dairy pro
ducts furnish ready money the year
round and that dairy regions always
are more productive than those sec
tions OF the country where there are
few milk herds.
There is a distinct increase in the
acreage to be planted to sweet clover,
due to the success Of this
crop in 1916. It is also noted that lore
forage crops of all kinds are to be
planted this year.
Reports received indicate that the
cotton acreage will be increased be-
tween Is and % per cent as compared
with the 1916 acreage.
Good roads in all parts of the state
are also receiving their share Of the |
farmers attention.
