Six acres of these fifteen will be behind the pre vious year's velvet bean crop and will require no fertilizing except Acid Phosphate or Ground Phosphate Rock, d costing $2.00 to $3.00 per acre. o In 1919 the corn and velvet bean crop should be increased to twelve e acres and the cottoi. reduced to h twelve, nine of which will be behind t the previous year's velvet beans and .require but a small outlay for fer d tilizer. d In 1920 the cotton acreage may re ~f main at twelve acres and the other e twelve should again be put into corn e and beans and each year thereafter y .the cotton will follow the bean crop e and the beans follow the cotton crop. n A cover crop of Abruzzi rye (or in ,t some Crimson clover) should each I, year be put in the cotton. While the boll weevil may be ex pected to arrive here within two 0 years, it is probable tnat his maxi d mum damage will not come before e 1920. If this scheme is followed, our e cotton acreage wvill by then all be s upon land which has the previous year a prodlucedl the finest of humus and nii e trogen crops--velvet beans--the ferti Y' lizer requirement being less than 50 a per cent. of that now considered nec. essary. Upon such land and with such v fertilizing we' may, by following the ii government recipe for the production -of cotton under boll weivil conditions, t expect to make at least as much cot r ton per acre as is now being made. r With moderate fertilizing the corn f may be expected to make not less - than ten bushels pier acre andi the beans not less than fifteen bushels. . Three hundred bushels of graini is now more than half the value of the prodluct of the average twenty-four acres rented or share croppedl, andi is quite equal in value to the average cotton erop uponl the same acreage. It will in most cases be necessary to plant for horse feed about two acres in oats followed by Peas or beans to each twenty-four acre crop. This will come out of the corn andl velvet bean acreage and will not interfere with the efficiency of the scheme. If to bacco is planted, it should come out of the cotton acreage. Tfhe worst infested boll wveevil areas in south Georgia, Alabama, and Miss issippi are now using this velvet bean profitably. The farmers claim that they-can raise from twenty to thirty bushels. per acre of beans besides an average corn crop.

We, ourselves, this year planted fifty-nine acres of these beans in corn, on poor, sandy soil. We made from ten to sixteen bushels of corn and from fifteen to twenty seven bushels of beans per acre, the average yield of beans being twenty and one-half bushels per acre (figur ing ninety pounds per bushel). We had seven acres of these beans on bettcr land which produccd thirty three and one-third bushels per acre. They arc a magnificent fecd, suitable for feeding to mules and cattle with out grinding.

We recommend the plant ing of corn in seven-foot rows and the planting of velvet beans in an open 1 shovel furrow in the middles from April 20th to May 1st. On poor land plant one bean every eighteen to twenty-four inches, on rich land one or two beans every three or four feet. If preferred, the beans may be planted between the hills of corn.

The land owner should assure ts tenant that he will not be re luired to move as long as he carries )ut this rotation and properly culti rates his crop. One of the most attractive features )f the program outlined above is that t is safe and practicable even if the oll weevil should delay or entirely i iease his progress (a theory for which :here is no warrant). If adopted, it will result in the enrichment of the soils, the increase of live stock, big eduction in farm expense, and an all 'ound sane farming system.
