From The County Agent
The Condition OF Randolph County

The Condition OF Randolph County
Where do You Belong in the Following
List of Figures?
The best authorities an agrlcui'"i'
have been talking and writing diVerSi-
fed agriculture for many years past
and today we can see notable step
forward In our agricultural prosperity
however. there is considerable room
for improvement. According to the
1920 census report we lind the condl-
tion of Randolph county as follows:
There are 1888 farms in Randolph
county.
543 farms raised no corn.
SGG farms raised no hay or forage
1896 farms raised no oats.
$40 farms raised no eggs or chick
ems.
500 farms had no milk cows.
1.OO7 farms made no butter.
1.2O2 farms did not raise pig.
1.1O2 farms did not raise a calf.
2,1OS farms raised no sweet potatoes.
1922 farms raised no Irish potatoes.
2.465 farms grew no cane for syrup.
1,7S3 farms raised no fruit
2.721 farms raised no berries.
From the above figures you can
readily see that the farmers are not
producing enough food and feed to sup
ply their own needs. This condition
is characteristic of the cotton country.
But. are we going to continue in the
same channel for ages? We read and
hear it talked everywhere that the
things the farmer has to buy are too
Thigh in proportion to the things he
has TO sell. Is it any wonder that
this condition exists when we do not
even attempt to produce a living on the
farm? We only have one product to
sell (cottOn) and everything else to
buy.
If it were not possible to produce
our feed and food then we could have
some excuse for this situation but
practically every plant known will
produce in this county. The serious
ness of this situation is in the attitude
of the people. Any farmer will agree
that it is much more profitable to pro-
duce his food and feed than it is to
raise cotton and buy them, but when
planting time comes it seems that all
of this is forgotten and every acre of
land that is available is planted to
cotton again. This is not only poor
policy from the standpoint of farm
management but it is depicting the
fertility of the soil at an enormous
rate.
In order to prosper as an agricultur-
al county we must employ a well
rounded program. In other words, a
system of agriculture which does not
insure maintaining the fertility of the
soil is doomed to failure. Now the only
feasable plan would be to put back to
the soil as much as had been taken
away. This is an expensive PROPOSE
tion without the use of livestock. Every
| time farmer sells load of cotton or
corn he is selling fertility from his
land never TO be returned but the man
who sells milk, butter, fat, eggs, etc,
is not selling fertility from his soil.
Then would it not be wise plan to sell
only those products which when taken
off the land leave the soil in as good
condition as it was at the start?
Reader, consider this situation seri-
ously, take an inventory of your af-
fairs, determine which class you be-
long in and next spring at planting
time be sure to plant enough feed to
supply the farm animals and enough
garden and truck patches to supply
the family table.

DEATHS
few IN STATE
Montana Is Alone In Showing
Decrease In
Fatalities

Montana is the only state Of the 38
in the automobile fatality registra-
ton area to show a decline in the per
centage of fatal automobile accidents
since data started to be recorded in
1918, figures issued by the depart
ment of commerce in Washington in
dicate.
Starting with 1873 deaths per 1000
of population in 1918, the figure has
decreased to eight deaths for each
LOCO residents in Montana last year.
In the intervening years the total
has showed a drop each year, but for
each of the other 81 states where sta
tistics were compiled these violent
deaths were more last year than ever
before and in all Of these cases the
1918 figure was the lowest.
Besides Icing the only state show
ing a decrease there are only fOur
states whose percentage of motor IA
~talities is lower than Montana. Mis-
sissippi with "A deaths per 1000 pop
ulation is lowest, while California,
where 1926 persons out Of each 1000
residents died last year in motor mis-
haps, stands far in the lead of any
other state. Delaware runs second
with a figure OF 23.9.
In Montana during 1913 a total of
"a were killed in this manner and
1925 were killed in the entire regis
tratiOn area, while in 1923 only 40
persons were killed in this state and
at the same time the total for all
states had nearly doubled, having
reached the figure of 14,412.
While most of the states show a
steady increase in the number killed
through motor mania California
shows phenomenal changes. Just 545
met death in these accidents there III
1918 but in 1923 the total was 1899,
or more than double.
The "autocide" epidemic in Cali
fornia, however, seems 20 be general
rather than confined to certain Sec
tions, as Los Angeles shows a pei
centage of about 81, while Camden.
n. j., takes first place among cities
with an average of 35.4. San Fran.
cisco shows a figure Of only 1915
deaths per 1000 residents.

HUGHSON KILLED.
BODY is HIDDEN

Doubt that Henry Hughson, the
aged prospector who disappeared from
his cabin on the south slope of Ba-
boon mountain, near the old indie
pendence mining camp, at least six
weeks ago, was foully murdered, no
longer exists. Hughson was murder
ed and his body ~secreted somewhere
In the mountain Businesses.
Last week Sheriff Brannin and a
party of searchers found a trail show
ing cOnclusively that Hughson had
been murdered. The body had been
dragged ever the mountain to the
north slope, or in the direction of
Big Timber. At one point they
found where the body had been tenn
Lorarily cached. Later they found
the second shoe, indicating that the
body had been dragged and that the
shoes had been torn loose from the
feet by dragging. At a fourth point
they found blood frozen in the snow,
evidently where a rest had been made
and blood had oozed from the lifeless
body.
Heavy snow was then encountered
and until the ground clears it will
be impossible to take up the trail
again.-Big Timber Pioneer.
