Are Your Fields Washing
Away?
"8. M." in Progressive Farmer.
One of tlio sins of the fathers
of future generations, as bpoken
of iu the "Holy Writ," is an in
horilance of a non-productive
Boii. As a lac', 'he results of
this sin ard now being reaped in
many instances by the propelra
tors of the crime. lour sou is
either being built up, or it, is
getting poorer. This faci you
cannot deny. You will also
agree with me, when 1 make the
statement, that it is next to impossible
to build up a soil that is
allowed to wash. It may also
be said, a mm is foolish to build
up a soil and at the same fime
to allow it to wash. Then, al
lowing our soil to wash is a crime
against the laws of Nature; and
whosoever violates this law shall
pay tho penalty of cultivating
poor soil.
HOW WILL YOU ANSWER FOR YOUK
SIN?
To a casual observer, tbis
looks glike punishment enough,
but 1 verily believe we shall
also have to givo an account iur
this sin at the "final settlement,"
as to how we used our talent.
We are now clamoring for fifteen
cent cotton. If the onecrop
system is continued, in
many parts 01 the cvnmi il will
not be long before we shall have
to have twenty t> iweuty.five
cents pei p ?und ii we make any
sort of decent living. 1 will venture
ilie assertion, that there is
not a man who reads 'his paper
who could not terrace or prevent
bis soil from washing in '.he near
future, with the means he now
ha15 at hand.
Vol CAN I.KAKX TK l: II AC I NO
Write your Experiment tSU
tion lor a bulletin on torracing,
il you do not know
how to m?ko terraces. If you
live in a section where terraces
are hard to cultiva'e, god such
places in Bermuda ^rass; and if
necessary to cultivate your crop (
in a field of Bermuda grass, ullow
me to say that it would be
far more profitable titan to culli- i
vate poor laud. 1 cannot conceive
oi a greater punishment on i
this earth than to have to culti- '
vate poor soil. What can such i
a man promise his family? How ]
can he make up his mind 'o

is down on the merchants and 1

on the world. '

To say that a man who culti
yates poor soil is lazy is perfe< t- ;
ly fo> li-ti. 1 can see hut one (
solution?net Onto your ,job.
rirst, stop your soil from washing.
Then, plant cowpoai and j
other leguminous crops and feed
them to better stock ; save the
manure and return it to your
land. Grow everything you use
on your farm, and then grow
cotton. Those suggestions have ]
been in this paper hundreds of >
times. Farmers' Instil me con \
(iuctors have preached this doc- ?
trine in almost every county in J
Missns-'ippi; and still the one i
crop system is being practiced ;
and 1 am alraid that if the price j
ol cotton keeps high enough, ii j

II you are cultivating a riuh

should 9tay soil washing. I
