this year? Do you know VIII,
cotton is no longer salable
There are at least two bales Of
cotton in existence for every one
that can be spun during mex,
year? Can you upon any other
fact or theory, explain why cot.

Gardens and Diversified Crops Need Attention
By R. l. SLOAN, Parish Demonstrate

SOOoeeeeoeeoo ooo oooeoo 81
A serious question confronting
every farmer to-day is that O
what to plant this year. Below
are a few conditions that shoulC
be considered before radica
change is made.
i The Irish potato crop in 1926
was seventy-four and and a hall
million bushels greater than in
1919. Due to market conditions
a larger stock than usual is in
storage. Freight rates into the
northern consuming markets are
considerably higher than ever
before. The man who plants
Irish potatoes to sell must do SO
expecting a low price and gov
ern expenses accordingly.
| The sweet potato crop in 1920
I
was about two million bushels
greater than in 1919. No sweet
potatoes are carried over from
one harvest season to another.
Higher freight rates will apply
to sweet potatoes as to Irish po-
tatoes. Sweet potatoes are and
have been lower comparatively.
Therefore the price on sweets
cannot decline so much as on Irish
potatoes.
The cotton crop Of 1920 was
same larger than 1919, but that
was not the principal factor in
reducing the price on this staple.
The price on cotton is now low
and may continue low. The av-|
erage yield of cotton is only about
one-fourth bale per acre. To
make a living growing cotton the
average yield must be increased
to half bale per acre. Reduce
the cotton acreage to that land
which can reasonably be expect
ed to produce half a bale or more
and the price will go up. ]
The corn crop last year was
unusually large, but like sweet
potatoes there will probably be
little change in price. Sufficient |
corn for home use should be
grown. However, the corn
market will be little or no. better
than the cotton market.
Special attention should be
given this year to gardens. Farm
manure should be applied liber-
ally. Fruit trees should also be
well treated.
The low prices die not come in
time to affect the watermelon
and cantaloupe markets. There
is never any carry over of these
crops, so it is only possible to
forecast price on them by COM
pairing with the decline on fruits
and vegetables in season.
Cane and sorghum syrupl
night proftably receive more at
IGNITION. Nitrate Of soda where
,btainable is the best cane ferti-
izer.
There are very great possibi-
tiles in growing more hogs for

beams. soy beans, peanuts, and

alive organizations for selling
are a necessity.
There is an unlimited market
for eggs to those who will prop
erly care for a flock of chickens.
Bees for honey making offer
an attractive side line to many
more than are now caring for
them. Modern hives are a me-
cessity to market honey.
The cattle market outlook is
not very good, being governed
largely by the export trade and
foreign money exchange values.
Besides, cattle are a slow turn
over, requiring more than one
year to grow a crop, and to be
considered as a new enterprise
only by those willing to wait
longer for results.
The price of nearly all farm
products is low. The farmer
will find it necessary to allow
many acres of poor land to lie
idle while many other acres are
only cultivated in soil improving
crops.

Certified Potato Seed Recommended.
Certified" Irish potato seed
is seed that has been produced
under the inspection of an au-
thorized state agency. such as a
department. Of the State Univer-
sity Of a state where the seed is
grown.
Certified seed costs a little
more than ordinary seed, just as
registered livestock costs more
than scrub stock. Certified seed
planted where conditions are un-
tit for potato production will not
do well. 1t will usually give
increases over ordi-
nary stock, other things being
equal. Mosaic disease (curly
dwarf is about to make impos-
sible~the profitable growing of
the potato in the south. This
disease cannot be controlled by
spraying nor seed disinfection as
It is carried by the seed. Certi-
led seed is practically free of
Mosaic. The same is not true of
commercial seed stock, as was
proved by the Improbable re-.
suits from fields of Triumphs in
Louisiana last. season that were
planted from commercial seed
stock. It is the best of insur-
ance to plant certified seed.
At least ten carloads of certi-
led Irish potato seed have al
'eady been booked for Louisiana.
t is hoped that this number will
,e doubled before the planting
Ieason begins.
