OF INTEREST 10 THE FARMERS, To the Farmers of Abbeville County: ] Not long ago I had the pleasure of j talking to a young man from Spar- , tanburg County with reference to the different systems of farming car- i ried on in his home county. His ; reply to one of my questions was j that the farmers of Spartanburg County engaged in three systems last a year, and judging from the high price j , of fertilizers prevailing at that time, ? he felt safe in saying that they would i , engage in equally as many the cur- 1 : rent year. I then asked him to name the three particular systems of \ farming he referred to. He ex- \ plained that the three he had in mind were: Intensive, Extensive and Pre- I tensive. \ Now as I travel over the county, I t am convinced that the farmers of Spartanburg County go the Abbeville t County farmers one better in that t the Abbeville County farmers em- J ploy only two systems, viz: Constructive and Destructive, therefore, d I desire to talk to our farmers collectively and individually in this let- p ter. t What system of farming are you following? Did you ever stop to a think and to figure if your system of t farming tends to deplete your soil s of its fertility? Is your land as fertile as it was twenty or thirty years r ago? Did you ever think of how r thorough the banking system of this ' r? i- a. l 11.. J I state is ; eanKS cannou legttuy anu p will not allow an overdraft; they a cannot permit it, but too many farmers are overdrawing on the soil, s The Almighty did not intend that in ft our short life tenancy of the soil, we should rob it of its fertility. g There is a moral obligation that n when a man works the soil and leaves it poorer than it was when he began ft j to live on it and work it, he has robbed unborn generations of their e just inheritance. He is almost in a the class of one who takes from c| widows and orphans; they can enter i( j protest, unborn generations cannot. j? I Planting robber crops continually on [ the same land is a practice no land v j owner should permit. ^ If the total fertility taken -from j the soil each year by this robber crop system in our state was con- a 1 - ?? ? i tineu to one section yuu wuuiu uarc I a large area of land that even the ? I insects would abandon. In a very d; ! short time, areas as large as Abbe- p | ville County itself would be with out human, animal or vegetable life. a] Our tenure of the soil is but life- j( I long. We owe it to our children and our children's children to leave the farm in as good a state of fertility as when we began farming it. Our fathers may not have done that w for us, but that does not lessen our st duty to unborn generations. Draw- g( ing continuously on your bank ac- S( count results in an overdraft. If we continue to take from the soil jr those elements of plant food which ie nature gave her, we shall scfon have p( the same thing. Continual overdrafts on the soil is the foster mother c] of poverty. Farming witnout ier- m tilizer is the destructive system. ai However, this is the age of Construe- w tion. not Destruction; the period C( of Progress and not Retrogression. 0; Our duty is before us; as plain as 0 any duty we have to perform. We w must maintain the fertility of our h soils; protect our children and do our part that the heritage of generationa to follow may not be squandered by our indifferent way of farming and our own shortlived tenure of ^ the soil. We have the use of the p land only during our life time. Shall our abuse of this privilege be a reproach or shall our use of it be a . benediction? Again the Destructive system of p farming means to reap year after year from our lands; taking from it t] the inherent fertility and supplying nothing in return. ~ ^ >?n/> + n-D CVQfpm of Acri- I 1 lie VUUOU MVW1 v ~ - --o- culture is one where the fertility of the soil is maintained year after year by a well planned system of 0 crop rotation and the growing of ? the summer and winter legumes. In other words, the Progressive system a of farming means the addition of a those plant food elements of fertility 11 removed by growing crops and the v supplying of these elements in the 8 most economical form. This system ? may also be called "Profitable farm- " ing with Permanency." It is not ? only profitable to the present owner * of the land but it is permanent so *long as it is practiced. Under such r system the farm grows richer year by year; crops yields increase; " greater permanent real estate value n is obtained and with the accomplish- s men": of this end. follows greater contentment. improved conditions in " community "life, better schools and * better churches, and easier life for the farmer and his family in general. The progressive idea of permanent Agriculture embodies but three main essentials. The first is the growth of o legumes or the addition of vegeta- J ble matter or humus to the soil; Se- o - ? l-i-L i-U _ 1 u conu, Nitrogen wnica luc icgumco u extract from the air and add to the a soil; and the third essential is the s application of phosphorous. All c acid soils are deficient in phosphorous. Then it is well to add limestone. Legumes such as clover, al- o falfa. peas, etc., supply nitrogen and a humus, then if your phosphorous is I added in the form of raw phosphate ri rock, the humus dissolves the phos- c phorous supplied in the phosphate i, mnL-o* it. available for Dlant h life. The limestone applied, on acid c soils, sweetens the soil, or in other E words, corrects soil adicity, by sup- b plying: calcium carbonate which neu- I trali/es the acids in the soil, thus e supplying a heme for (he breeding of d the nitrogen gathering bacteria V which inhabit the roots of legumes. With the above information in a mind, let's plat: now to commence a a systematic three year crop rotation, !p and in doing so don't lose sight of , t the necessity of planting a large i acreage to the cow pea.
