VALUE or COTTON
seed AS Fertilizer
Seed for Fertilizers Not Eco
nOmic, Says Authority.

Atlanta, Ga. - February. = 1t would
be a mistake to use cotton seed as
fertilizer, as some farmers are talking
of doing, according to ]. N. Harper,
several years In experiment station
work IN the South, and now director of
the Soil Improvement Committee. Con-
tinuing he says:
"It would be a mistake for two rea-
sons: First, the South would be de-
prived of great wealth producing
substance-cottonseed oil; and sec
ond. cotton seed are not the best form
of fertilizer to apply.
"On the first point while It is un"
fortunate that the vegetable oil market
is off and the oil miller cannot offer
what the seed are really worth, 1t is
better to accept what the miller can
afford to give than to allow the oil to
be destroyed when 1t is needed 80
much especially in starving Europe.
ITO use cotton seed as a fertilizer
is to throw away the oil of the seed,
for oil is not plant food; in tact, IL is
believed that It will retard plant
growth.
Cotton seed contain plant food, but
when the seed are applied, 1t is not
possible to scatter 1t SO as to feed
the crop properly. It puts the plant
food on the land i'd Jumps as repre-
sented by the seed.
"It takes the seed long time to
decay and become plant food. In fact,
no great amount Of the plant food in
cotton seed Is ever actually used by
the crop. AS evidence Of this. we cite
Farmers Bulletin 2Ss Of the United
States Department of Agriculture, page
8, from which we quote: The seeds
are incased In hulls which must de-
cay before the crop can utilize the
plant food in them. and the kernels
contain oil which is supposed to retard
their decomposition, so that consider
able moisture is required to decompose
the seed and make available the plant
food. In case of q very dry season,
1t does not become available fast
enough to supply the crop and no
doubt portion Of 1t falls to become
available until after the crop natures.
"A table on page 9 Of this bulletin
shows that a difference Of S03 lbs.
Of seed cotton per acre In favor OF
cotton seed meal as compared with
cotton seed, was obtained in a test
where twice as much cotton seed was
used as meal

states show that pound Of a well
balanced mixed fertilizer wiz produce

Size Of Gardens Has Effect
on Methods

This is the time of year when much
thought is being given the garden b.
both farmers and many people 10 the
cities, and in this connection they should
remember that the size OF the garden
should have definite effect on the
gardening methods used. This is based
on the experience of gardeners who
have worked both email and lsrge'areas.
The distinction holds between thegar-
den of limited area and the farm garden
Gen one seeks the greatest possible pro.
ducticn from 4 given area, the other
maximum production from a given a.
mount of time and labor.
The gardener who has plenty of land
at his disposal will do we'll to have long
straight rows spaced far enough apart
for horse cultivation, or at least for
easy wheel-hoe work, and be need give
little attention to the conservation Of
space by intercropping and succession

The gardener whose land is limited,
however. and whose leisure hours are
relatively plentiful may be an inten.

SUCCESSFUL FARMER
TELLS HOW He ROTATES
CROPS AND GETS RESULTS
John Hitch of Blunt County Says No
Man Should Undertake To Farm
Without Good System Of Rota-
tion-Live Stock Play Inn
portant Part

John Hitch, of Blodnt county, Is one
of the most successful farmers In Ten
nessee. Hundreds Of farmers from
surrounding communities and coun-
ties visit his farm each year to study
his methods of rotation and to see his
splendid crops and livestock.
Last year when the East Tennessee
Farmers Convention held its annual
meeting he addressed the farmers on
the subject of Livestock and Crop
Rotation"
Mr.. Hitch stated that he started out
with a small farm, feeling that farm
ing wasn't q dumping ground but an
industry made up of real men engaged
in a great business, and an ambition
to be a good farmer. His farm had a
lot of gullles and most of 1t was very
poor, he said. So he saw at once that he
must do something to improve the soil
and at the same time stop the wash
ing. He said he knew that manure
would build up the land so he planned
a system of crops conducive to live
stock farming. More land was bought,
increasing the size of his farm to 100
acres which was divided into seven
fields of equal size
After trying out several different
rotations for period of ten years he
finally settled on the following sys-
TEN: Two years clover and grass;
one year corn; one year wheat and as
soon as wheat is taken off, prepare
ground, manure, lime and SOW barley
then back to clover and grass.
Mr.. Hitch stated that this rotation
suits him better as 1t gives more leis-
ure, does not require too much plow-
ing, leaves plenty of roots and vege
table matter to keep the land from
washing and gives an opportunity for
lining the soil. He said that livestock
played an important part in his rota-
tion. When he first started farming,
be stated that he did not keep much
livestock, but soon he bought some hill
land on which cattle were kept during
the summer, bringing them to the farr1
for the winter. He says that more
feed means more cattle on his farm
and that cattle makes 1t possible TO
grow more feed.
According to Mr.. Hitch, no man
ought to undertake to farm in Tennes-
see without a well balanced system OF
farming and by this he means the
growing of several different crops In
rotations for livestock production.
His advise to the Tennessee farm
ers is to cut the farm into fields OF
equal size. rotate crops, keep the kind
OF livestock best suited to existing
conditions and keep at it BY doing
this he says the farmer VIII make q
living and his family viii be content
ed and happy.
In reference to the East Tennessee
Farmers Convention Mr.. Hitch stated
that II had done more for the develop
ment Of agriculture than any other or
ganizati0n In East Tennessee and that
1t had been a great help to him. He
urged the farmers to attend the con-
vention each year as well as other
farmers meetings and take home from
them the many lessons and put them
into practice. By doing this Mr.. Hitch
said that Tennessee could be made to
blossom Ike 9 rose which car only be

Reducing The Cost

Those who have been able to lake ad.
vantage of every good plowing day in
January have been taking effective
steps toward reducing the cost of this
years crops. This is true for several
reasons. Early plowing will give plenty
of time for the rains to osettle the ground
and give firm seed bed at planting
time. Early blowing distributes the
work better giving more work In the
early months and less work right at
planting season. Thus it Is possible to
get crops planted more nearly on time.
But one Of the greatest advantages of
early plowing is that by it we turn un-
der stalks. grass, weeds, or any humus-
building material in time for them
to start rotting by planting time,
To many, the effect of each of. these sd-
vantages may appear negligible. Yet
it is fact that each of them contrib.
tutss directly or indirectly to reducing
the cost of making crops. The firm
seed bed insures better termination and
more rapid growth for the young crop.
Getting all crops planted in dus season
usually makes them more certain in
productioa, Turning UNDER stalks.
grass, ana weeds in time for rotting to
be well started ty planting time as
sures more plant food for the crop
and therefore more pounds or
more bushels Of the crop, 1t les-
sens somewhat the danger of the 10.
reference of the old stalks in working
the new crop. A thick crop of grass or
weeds turned under just before planting
time will u ually prevent the passage of
soil moisture from below TO the surface
layer to where the plants are growing.
Il is necessary that such crops be turn
Ell under early enough to permit partial
decay before the dry weather sets in.
II certainly can cost no more per acre
to plow early. The blowing has to be
done. IL early plowing at no greater
cost per acre produces more pounds or
more bushels of crop per acre. the cost
per pound or per bushel Is actually re-
duced. Every day between now and
planting time, when the soil is not too
vet 20 pIow, should be utilized to the
fullest extent to help reduce the cost Of
our next crop. The Progressive Farm

Why Clothes Wear Out.

Most people consider the wearing
out" OF clothes as something which
is unavoidable, inconvenient, but not
worthy Of attention. Yet the why and

full Of interest.
All clothes wear out through expos.

strain and bacterial action. or these

Hence, clothes not in use should be

But light is selective in IS action. A
dark fabric is less affected than one
which is brightly colored. So that a
Briton's love for drab-colpred clothing
cannot entirely be condemned.
Moreover, red and yellow light are
less destructive than the blue, viole
and ultraviolet light.
Not all fabrics are affected alike, 70,

In spite Of this, however, it would no,
be economical to use all cotton cloth

fabric is attacked first, and the dye is
thereby partly protected. In the cot.

1t pays most people to notice how

Clever Sparrows.

A few days ago as was walking
along the street, saw a sparrow ly-
ing on the ground. 1t Huttered its
wings, but was unable to rise.
AS | was looking, a pair of old birds
came along, carrying between them a
little bare twig about three inches
long. One had hold of one end of il.
and its companion had hold of the
other. They brought it down 10 the
bird on the ground, and it caught hold
OF the stick with its beak.
Then they flew up into tree, car
ryins the third bird hanging to the
stick, and by this means brought it to
place Of safety.
| am not sure that the bird on the
ground was young one; it looked
quite large, and may have been wound
ed or sick. 1t was not able to av.
anyhow, for saw it try to do so with
out success. All the birds were com.
mon English sparrows.
