MOST commentators are of the
opinion that the coin was the lepton
a coin OF ancient Greece, the value
OF one-third of an English farthing
or about two-thirds of an American
cent. Other commentators think il
IS still smaller coin with a value
OF one-Seventy-second of an English
penny. In both cases the coins would
be copper.

Farm Income 1910

How can Mississippi farmers produce the highest
income in 1910? The Mississippi Extension Service Of
fes the following suggestions.
Produce plenty of food and feed for the farm fam
lily and livestock. Farm records show that products
produced and conserved in a we'll planned year-round
live-at-home program are frequently worth as much as
the cotton crop on small farms and is one of the most
plenty of meat, milk, butter, eggs, syrup, potatoes, peas,
fresh fruits and vegetables will assure the farm family
an adequate supply of these products at farm prices
instead ofof retail prices, will provide a bette diet for
the farm f mily, mad will conserve cash received from
cotton and other cash enterprises.
Cooperate in the 1910 AAA program to adjust
the supply Of cotton, conserve the fertility of the soil,
and improve the farm income by earning sol-building
and soil conserving paymets.
Produce all of the cotton possible on the allotted
acres. Join q one-variety cotton association to get the
full benefit from growing one of the superior varieties
and of selling higher suality cotton at premium prices.
tonseed with z percent Ceresan, plant a to 5 pecks OF
seed per acre on a well-prepared, clean, firm seeded.
Fertilize literally. Cultivate clean.
Supplement the income from cotton by one or more
additional cash crops and, where practical, from at least
one kind of livestock. In the production of livestock,
good permanent pastures and production Of plenty of
feed are important. Records kept on demonstration
farms in Mississippi show that producers can double
applying 100 pounds of triple superphosphate or 500
pounds of basic Stag per acre. Highest yields of hay
crops are obtained when full seedlings are made.
Garry out sufficient soil-building practices to earn
the maximum soil-building allowance for the farm. The
most important soil building practices are terracing,
growing and turning under legumes, planting trees,
building pastures and applying superphosphate and
limestone.

by l. w. Carson, County Agent
Holmes County

Farmers located In the Eastern
part of Holmes county will be in
terested Ia the following report.
The Msssia sippi Experiment Sta
ton reports that the application o.
200 pounds Of 20 percent superphos-
phate on hop clover sod in the fall
Of 1888 more .han doubled the pro-
duction of clover In 1889. The use
of 400 pounds of superphosphate per
acre treOled the production of clover
and increased the protein content
equivalent to TOO pounds Of cotton
seed meal.
That 1t will pay Mississippi farmers
to use phosphate on legume crops
has been impressively demonstrated
by 600 farmers who, during the pas.
our years, have cooperated with the
Mississippi Extension Service and the
Tennessee Valley Authority in con
Quoting field Tests and result demon
STATIONS with phosphate made at
Muscle Shoals on 10000 acres OF pas
ture and legume crops.
In 1889, 1904 acres Of lespedeza
2.40o acres Of soybeans and cowpeas,
3.693 acres OF permanent pasture,
s.ee8 acres Of winter legumes, and
3O6 acres Of miscellaneous degume
crops were treated with superphos-
phate.
An analysis and summary Of the
records kept by these farmers In
dictate that:
q. The growth OF winter legumes
on average soil Will be increased
about 100 per cent by the use Of 1OG
pounds Of TRIBE superphosphate, or
its equivalent-5oo pounds Of basic
Stag or 200 pounds OF 20 per cent
phosphate-per acre. Average un-
treated fields produce approximately
5000 pounds green weight per acre
by April as compared to 10000 pounds
On the treated fields.
2. The use of small quantities of
agricultural lime-SO0 to 1000 pounds
per acre in connection with phos-
phate will increase yields still fur
Their and will materially aid in the
restoring Of soil fertility.
3. The yield OF cotton following
one good crop Of vetch turned under
will be increased around 100 pounds
lint per acre, while the yield of cot
ton following two good crops Of vetch
will be increased about 200 pounds
lint per acre.
4. The yield Of corn following one
good yield of vetch turned under
was increased about IL bushels per
acre, while the yield of corn follow
ing w good crops Of vetch was in
creased 20 bushels per acre.
