his system, or eventually go out of
business.
1t is not expected that these plans
will be followed to the letter. In
adapting them to the various farms,
certain changes will suggest them
selves.
In some cases, the cotton acreage
NAV be increased a few acres per
plow, especially where soil and other
conditions are favorable; in other
cases, number Of hogs increased,
etc.
Negro troopers are not very sue
cessful with many of the special
crops. They can handle sweet pota'
toes and peanuts without much diff
ficulty. With close supervision, they
can succeed with other special
crops.
The Absentee Landlord
In the Piedmont section, there
are quite a few farms that are OPP
Grated by absentee landlords. These
men are really confronted with a
difficult situation when it comes to
reorganizing their farms to meet
boil weevil conditions. The time is
past when man can turn his farm
over to troopers and wait for the
usual cotton rent in the fall. These
farms that heretofore have been
supported solely by cotton must now
be made self-supporting. Cash crops
in addition to cotton must be grown.
The form adapted to boil weevil con-
ditions requires more knowledge and
wisdom Of management than the old
cotton farm. There also must be a
much closer supervision.
If the landlord cannot give this
closer supervision himself, then it
will be necessary for him to employ
capable manager or get better
class of troopers, or tenants. If
the farm is turned over to troopers
without close supervision, they will
soon be starved out, the land will
be run down and the farm in debt.
If the average cropper succeeds
under weevil conditions, he must be
forced to do SO, and this requires
close supervision.
It would seem that for the alb
sentee landlord farm there would be
as good a chance as any to succeed
under the conditions with an acre
age similar to the one given in the
following tables:
If each cropper could be made to
grow five acres of cotton. ten acres
Of corn, two acres Of oats, three
acres Of wheat, two acres of sweet
potatoes besides his patch for home
use, and SOW three acres of the
small grain land to peas for hay
and two acres for seed peas or soy
beans for seed, he could maintain
his family and live stock and have
enough cash crops to make an in
come that would support him. The
landlord will also have enough feed
to carry his live stock. and enough
cash crops to give him a small in
come after paying operating ex-
penses.
The difficulty with a plan Of this
kind is that the average cropper
does not take much interest in small
grain and in hay. and would not
make a satisfactory yield of these
crops. Some of them would sell
their seed of these crops before an
other season unless closely super
vised, and the landlord would have
these to furnish each year.
If the absentee landlord puts his
farm in charge of a capable man.
ager,~it can be conducted on about
the same plan as the plantation OPP
Grated by the owner. With the close
supervision that manager would be
able to give, live stock could be in.

way, a better balanced system could

troopers would be about as fol.
lows:
Maintenance of Choppers Family
Per Pillow
Corn, five acres.
Wheat, three acres.
Garden, one and one-half acres.
This furnishes food for the fam
lily and feed for one COW, two hogs
and fifteen hens.
Feed For One Mule
Corn, four acres.
Oats. two acres.
If each Cropper raiseu ten acres
of corn, his half would provide fCr
his own needs, while the operators
share of five acres would furnish
corn for the mule and have a sur
plus of one acre. This surplus can
be profitably used as feed for hogs.
Should the cropper be required
to grow the wheat and oats needed
for his maintenance, he would have
to grow double the amount required.
In that case, the cropper would
have two acres of surplus oats, and
the operator would have three acres
Of surplus wheat.
Neither would profit greatly
from the small grain. 1t appears
that a better system would be for
the cropper to grow what corn IS
necessary to maintain him, as much
cotton as he can handle under boil
weevil conditions, and then devote
the rest of his available time to
other cash crops. What wheat and
oats are necessary to maintain the
farm can be grown to better adj
vantage by the operator or by wage
hands. The hog grazing crops and
the extra corn needed for the hogs
can also be grown more proftably
by wage hands.
Some farmers have found it prof
table to furnish their choppers with
a COW, requiring the cropper to
feed her and the landlord to get
the increase. The increase each
year will pay a good per cent on
the money invested in the COW. In
addition, the landlord is able by
this arrangement to materially re-
duce the advance to his choppers.
The following plan suggests
system in which the prin'
ciples discussed above are applied
to a four-mule farm. The farm is
worked by three share choppers and
one wage hand. The wages crop
may be worked by the operator.
Four sows and their progeny OF
forty pigs are provided for in ad-
dition to the cash crops.

Mark Down Your Time.

Here is an idea for motorists who
occasionally have arguments in court
as to how long they left their cars
standing in the restricted parking
area:
Attach tag to the steering wheel
when leaving the car and announce
thereon: This car was parked at
10:30" COR whatever the time may be-.
If the officer on the beat has a poor
memory, or mistakes your car for
another machine which he had sus-
pected upon his first round, this tag
will help him out and, incidentally,
show him that you are trying to com
ply with the law. If you sign your
signature beneath the statement he
will not suspect you OF cheating him
on the time element any more than
your bank would suspect your in
dorsement on a check. To put It an
other way, he knows that you would
have more sense than to sign your
