MERITS
OF VARIETY IN
CROP PLANNING

Farm conditions in the south can
be improved by the use of a greater
variety of crops and of definite sys-
TENS of crop rotation and by the
keeping of a greater number of live
stock, according to specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture in Farmers Bulletin 1119. re-
Gently issued and now available for
distribution. A rational crop rota-
ton in the south is one which occu-
pies the land practically the entire
year, protecting the soil from wash
ing during the winter by the use
of growing crop, such as crimson
clover, etch or grain. Increasing the
number of live stock requires the
production Of more grain for feed
ing. Fall-sown grains combine the
two essential features. grain produc-
ton and soil cover, in one crop. To
some extent they also supply a third
desirable feature winter pasturage.
The advantages of fall seeding of
oats over spring seeding wherever
the fall-sown varieties can be grown
are numerous. The yields are usual
earlier, the land can usually be pre-
pared in better shape in the fall than
In the spring, fall seeding, poorer
land and less fertilizer an be used
for the fall-sown crop. and the fall
sown crop furnishes a cover for the
SUI Jul Ing Tie winter anu prevents
washing.
Fall oats almost invariably yield
more than spring oats, owing To their
earlier maturity, stronger growth
and greater freedom from disease. If
a part of the stand is lost from win
terkil.ing, the plants which are left
stool vigorously, SO that the stand at
harvest is often much better than
was apparent in early spring. Fall
sown oats usually grow more vigor-
ously and mature in from 10 days
to 2 weeks earlier than those sown
in the spring. This earlier matur-
ity often marks the difference be-
tween success and failure, as the lat
ter maturing grain is more likely to
be injured in storms or drought and
by rust and other plant diseases.
Oats require comparatively cool
weather for their best growth, so
that those which mature earliest
usually yield best, as the conditions
are better suited to their develop
ment. The early maturity incident
to fall seeding also allows the crop
to be removed from the land earlier
than spring seeding. giving more
time for the preparation of the soil,
and the growth of the following crop.

Winter Pests

When the orchards have been
through the nearby woods and
hedges and cut the wild cherry trees
and bushes which are the bivouacs
of the tent caterpillars that raid the
orchards in the spring, say special
lists of the United States department
of agriculture. 1t is a good time to
inspect the trees for borers and to
put down mice and rabbit guards at
the same operation. Trample the
grass flat at the tree base to allow
a close inspection for sawdust from
the borer's operations and then adj
just the wire or paper guard to be in
place when\snoW comes.

would keep the warehouse receipts
and notes in vault provided for
that purpose, and would turn them
over to the farmer only on payment
of the amount of bonds issued to
him. With stable market the farm
er could sell his cotton at any time
he chose in order to clear the loan.
And whereas the banks would nat
urally only give the farmer, say fif-
teen cents on the pound, these unin-
corporated companies could give him
twenty cents with perfect safety to
all concerned.
"And I wish it distinctly under
stood that this is no wildcat scheme
of mine. It was tried in 1892 by
the wheat growers during the wheat
panic and resulted in saving the sit
uation. 1t was tried in 1914, and
where the banks would then only lend
five cents on the cotton, we loaned
in bonds seven SCENTS pound and the
cotton was afterward sold for eight
and ten cents a pound. l have the
Endorsement of business men all
over the north and south for this
plan.
"This plan dould greatly relieve
in@their power to help the farmer,
by providing another means of sat
isfying creditors other than by check
ing on the bank.
'This plan will not meet with any
antagonism from any quarter as it
will be of benefit both to the debtor,
the farmer, and to the creditors, the
banks and other business concerns.
Some may say that the price Of cot
ton should naturally drop with the
drop in price of other commodities,
but during the war the price obtain
ed for the cotton by the farmers was
never sufficient to cause their being
charged with profiteering. This drop
in price is a drop from normal, and
not a deflation after an initiation in
price
"The plan would convert cotton
into collateral in sufficient volume
to stabilize the market and would
relieve the entire situation at once.
Unless something of the sort Is done,
the situation which is now approach
ing it's crisis would result in dis
aster to not only the farmers but
their editors as well. Fluctuations
in the market price would be render
ed of no consequence whatever, as
the farmer would have six months In
which to dispose of his cotton, and
would have the use of the bonds dur
ing that time.
eff the banks in times of stress
can issue clearing house certificates
land no one blames them for doing
500 to save their banks on no better
if as good collateral as cotton, why
cannot the farmer issue bonds on his
cotton and save himself and do JUS
tice to his creditors?
st am issuin ga booklet contain
ing complete details for the carrying
out of my plan, and will be glad to
send a copy to any community for
inspection when they are printed,
about the end Of November. 1 will
not charge them one cent unless the
plan results in the increase of at
least ten cents a pound by next
July"

Sign 7-Year Contract
The Oklahoma plan calls for the
union of at least 10000 cotton
growers into a single ASSOCIATION,
which will market the entire cotton
crop of it's members. These mem
bers sign an iron-clad contract to
market their entire crop for seven
years through the association.
This association is purely a mar
keting body. Its great. object is to
men who infest the cotton business,
and deal directly with the mills,
thus seeking to secure for the farm
ers the profits which have hereto
fore been taken out all along the
line by buyers, factors, spectators
and a host of others.
The association membership is
limited entirely to cotton farmers
Or landlords, who receive cotton, as
rent No buyer, speculator, banker,
or anyone else outside of actual pro
ducers can belong. This one point
is proving the greatest argument
which the association has.

learn to know makes of automobile

of catching the motor trade is to note
the license numbers, look them up
at the city hall or police station on
some trip to town, and then drop
them postal cards calling attention
to the advantage of carrying home a
bushel of this or that product on
their next trip. This form of appeal
is more effective if the farm has a.
distinctive name, as constantly in
