Southern Cultivator. las
Our Southern farmers have ^r0
several important questions
pressing for solution, but hardly ^
any of them exeeed in importance *n
this one of utilizing our farm *iai
lands in contra-distinctioo to 'ro
cultivating every acre. The only aM
reason we attempt to cultivate
so much area, is the idea that we
we win make more money by so
/II
doing. But with high labor and
poor yields the profits in such
cultivation are naught. As our acl
I *
country and cities increase in 111
population, there is not only a Ph
greater demand for food crops, '
but also a wider range of articles sn
included in this demand. Every- II1*
tiling that can be produced upon *Wl
the farm?wood,grass,hay,cattle,
hogs, chickens, fruit, and dairy
products, all command as good 1
prices as corn and cotton. It now
behooves every intelligent far
mer to look over his land, take WH
carefully into consideration the
lay of his farm as to woodland UP

and his taste as to lines of indus- 0,1
try he would like best to devel- aD(
op, and then plan, not so much utl
how to cultivate all his place, ^)rl
but how best to develop its re- %al
sources so as to give the greatest
net return for the eneigy expend
ed. If grass will give as much Panet
return from a given field as ^ e
cultivating it in cotton, why 001
bother with so much work as the ?
cultivation in cotton would re- ^:U1
1 quire? It cattle can gather as 10
much net return from a ten-acre 001
field as can a negro working it in l^e
cotton and corn, why not let the ral
cows work a little' If timber
grown upon a hillside will bring
' ?'*
hid nnniD hoi revenue as ill? **v'*
cultivation it is receiving, why cor
not allow the timber to grow? To wa
our minds it is clearly time to e'si
change our viewpoint. Think
more about utilization and uoi i)'{1
so much of cultivation. Cultiva- me
tion is well, but only when it
can be well done. When you be- ^ 01
gin seriously to consider this cat
utilizing plan and begin to put lov
4 ;nto execution, many will tie at
