Plant Heavy To Feedstuffs Crops.

Farm Il Ranch. Dallas. Texas.
The threatening war clouds that
are now overshadowlng us should not
fail to remind us that whatever may
be the result, food will be needed, live
stock will be required, poultry, veg
etables and fruits will be essential to
economical living. There are late
crops that may be planted for food
and feed and these should have
room. Those who plant aud cult.
vate crops with a view of having
plenty TO eat at home and sufficient
feed for their animals will not be de-
pendent upon credit at the stores.
But the producer that depends upon
one crop to furnish cash with which
to buy food and feed might be dis
appointed. 1t is well to remember
that those who raise as much food as
possible and plenty of feed will save
the high cost Of living. Peas, beans,
June corn, millet, soy beans, Sudan,
sweet potatoes, me,ons, pumpkins.
cushaws and other crops will be sug-
gested when we think of late crops
suitable for food and feed There is
plenty of time for crops that will
help afford economical living as well
as those that reduce the high cost
of feeding.

Emergency Crops

AS guide in meeting the crisis,
which Is now confronting the South,
the Farm Service Bureau suggests the
following, which of course, must be
modified to suit local conditions:
Those crops which can be used for
food for man or beast, and which can
be planted at once should be given i'm
mediate attention. The acreage OF
cotton per pillow may be maintained,
and all possible efforts should be put
forth to increase the yield Lint will
bring good price, and seed will prove
valuable because of their OIL On q
25-acre tract, in ten or eleven acres
OF cotton may be given each pillow, and
1t is recommended that seven or eight
acres be given to corn in which
should be planted peas. soy beans or
velvet beans. The corn can be har-
vested, and the beans or peas given
over to pasture or gathered for feed.
At least two acres should be given to
soy beans or cowpeas and sorghum for
hay. One acre for grazing; one acre
for sorghum syrup; one acre for sweet
potatoes, and one for different kinds
of vegetables. This will give a total
of rs acres. and represents only the
crops for summer planting. Winter
grains may be seeded Immediately at
ter some of these are harvested.
Everything bearing upon large
yields should be given emphasis. The
land should be thoroughly prepared /;
the best known varieties used: the
right kind and liberal amounts of fer
tilizer applied. and thorough cultiva.
ton given.
This is of special Importance over
much of the South where the soils are
lacking In soluble plant foods. Not
less than 400 to 600 pounds of fertil.
izer should be used per acre on the
crops suggested.
On account of the car shortage and
the farmers inability to secure ample
fertilizer to put under their crops at
the time the land was being prepared.
It Is recommend that a liberal side
application Of fertilizer be used on all
crops already planted. Increase Of crop
yields will come with increase in guam
tity Of fertilizer used.

That line of poetry, Things are
not what they seem. expresses "a
truth intensely prosaic and practical.
While applying to many familiar phe-
nomena OF nature such as the mirage
and other optical illusions, those are
not Included in this brief discussion.
Nor is It intended to discuss tricks
OF trade such as the now common Gus
tom Of marking piece of merchan-
disc 7 SO instead of s CO.
It's a fact that figures may, aM
often do, fool people and this, Ioo
where no decor on is inteoded.
There can be no questiW but tina,
many feel sort of supefstitious awe
IN the presence of figures. They in
invest them witba kind OF magic,
The God OF Statistics has a host OF
worshipperg, although be is far more
demo9/than deity, holding his
dupesspellbound by the deceptive
ness of mere appearance.
\ Numerous illustrations at once sug-
| themselves. A certain census, deal
ing with dairy products. gives the
number of pounds OF butter made in
the United States during 1909 as
| 1879, AIS, 263. This showing of ex
irene accuracy is simply absurd and
ridiculous. Is it possible to know
the facts of such an industry with
the exactness indicated by these fig
tires?
Again, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture,
the yield of corn in 1900 was 2,105,
l02, 5l6 bushels, and ten years later,
it was 1856, 26O, 600 Was the first
estimate really any nearer the truth
than the second?
Once more, the total cotton crop
of the United States for 1913 is Civ.
en- as IA. l28, 902 bales. and that of
Mississippi as 1850, 900 bales.
The falacy just referred tons found
wherever statistics are published
Another class of Illustrations shows
the folly of much figuring or "ci-
phering".
A farmer says that his si,o will
hold 4037 bushels. and yet an error
OF quarter of an inch in it's diam
eter, either due to construction or to
subsequent measurement, will change
the calculated capacity by at least
ten bushels. 1t were far better to
say that the silo of the illustration
holds about 1000 bushels.

Better Farming i'm the South

South Well AS Cotton
Not FarmersHome of 1efense In
Is Position Farmer.


In time OF war the interests OF the
army come first Regular commerce
must give way to troop trains. ammu-
nitions and army freight In general.
At such times the wants Of people can
not be readily supplied. Forethinking
people will. therefore. prepare against
It,
The Southern farmer is facing this
situation. What ought he to do?
Railroads have been hauling mil
lions of dollars worth Of food prod.
ucts to the South each year. Recently
there have been occasional "famines"
In some of these articles because OF
the inability of the railroads to haul
all they were offered In fact, serious
situations have been narrowly averted.
What then might be the result Of a
car shortage more acute than has ever
been experienced?
How would Southern cities be fed
Where would the Southern farmer who
raises only cotton, get food? Grave
possibilities are, therefore, confronted.
They are probabilities If immediate
steps are not taken.
How can such a disaster be fore.
stalled? Only by the Southern farm
er growing foodstuffs as well as cot
ton. He can do 1t. 1t Is his duty to
do it. 1t is his patriotic service. In
doing this piece Of work he will be
one of the most useful units in the
army Of defense.
At this time 1t Is as important for
the Southern farmer TO enlist to pro-
duce food crops as 1t Is for the young
men Of the South to enlist as soldiers.
