Clemson College, Peb. 2 2.?The r great njajorlty of our farmers are jone-horse farmers. They are usually ''brushed aside with the advice 'Vet ( another horse." We should deal with existing conditions until these conditions are changed, and we must . help produce the means for bringing about such a change. The one-horse farmer works at a i disadvantage, 'tis true, just as the i "one-horse" merchant with limited means. "The poor we have with us always," but the degree of poverty ' may be made great or small in pro portion to methods of management . judiciously employed. The boll weevil will immediately affect the one-horse class more than ' any other, and it is this class of white and negro tenants that usu* ally becomo stampeded and leave * for uninfestod territory, leaving the * more substantial farmer practically ' helpless. We must "therefore, give timely aid to this class first." A One-horse System of Preparation to Meet I toll Weevil Conditions.

One acre for garden and truck. Apply all stable manure that can be 1 made to wheat, the garden ana truck patches. Fifteen acres in cofr ton and 3 acres in corn and velvet beans. Sow nbruzzi rye in cotton middles in September, and turn 9 acres for cotton in spring. Turn corn and velevet bean acreage in fall or winter and follow with cotton, f Second Year's Crop (11HH.) i Plant 12 acres in cotton and fi - acres in corn and velvet beans. Again, sow cotton middles to Ab I ruzzi rye in September, and turn only fi acres for cotton the follow ing spring; while again the corn and " velvet bean acreage should be turned - in fall and winter for cotton the following spring. Third Year's Crop (lOlfl.) > If the boll weevil has not arrived, i plant 9 acres to cotton and 9 acres \ to corn and velvet beans.

Extra labor on cotton will be required under boll weevil infestation, and the acreage will of necessity be reduced. | iin 111 tMiiaieiy upon trie appearance of the weevil in or near the com-! munity, the system should he changed, rotating the 18 acres as follows: Divide the farm into 3 equal parts of ti acres each, and plant ti to corn I and velvet beans; ti to cotton with, lye sown in the cotton middles in i .November or early December for seed production; and ti to peanuts following rye. The peanuts to be followed by crimson clover for seed, and corn and velvet beans planted after seed are stripped. In this rotation cot-1 ton follows corn and velvet beans, corn and velvet beans follow peanuts with winter clover cover crops, and peanuts follow cotton and winter rye. The first system will aggregate a gross income of The second system will aggregule a gross income of $l,32d. Difference in favor of the latter. $ 'J 3 3. !
