For several years, like the present
year, we have had a backward
spring. The month Of May is now
well started and there has been but
little acreage planted to either cotton
or corn and the cold weather that
we have had has held practically all
vegetation back. The years that
have passed have given us valuable
experience as to the best methods
10 employ on the farm when we have
to make our crops in short season.
Perhaps the most valuable lesson we
have learned is that not a day nor
an ounce Of energy should be lost;
that every agency on the farm
should be turned to the planting Of
the crops and their cultivation and
the saving Of every single thing that
is Of value. The test Of really
capable farmer comes when the sea-
son Is short and the conditions are
unfavorable.
