Divide up your farm into three parts, so much for small grain and so much for corn and the remainder for cotton; but be sure and do this planning llrst of ?ill. We should sow rye or oats just in small lots; manure highly for fall and spring cutting. Take a small spot--just what you can prepare well-go at it in dead earnest. Tut the right kind of stress behind this matter, and if you have good, rich soil sow a little clover-say crimson or bur or the white blooming crim son vetch, lt seems thal hairy vetch is the surest crop. You can get the seed of T. W. Wood & Sons, and they are reliable. I would advise sowing wheat, oats or rye on the same plan as turnips in rows IS to 2 1 inches apart. As te the fertilizers, any is good; stable manure is best. I have sent out the cover ero)) plan that has been adopted to 160 farm ers in the county, and I do hope that the plan will be adopted. .1.
