Very Few FarmeM Have Compared
Benefit to Be Derived From Acre

(By G. H. AI.FOKIO
If the cotton belt is to raise hops,,
mules, horses, cattle, sheep and so on j
successfully under present land aud |?
labor conditions, it must roBort t<>;
pastures and cheap hays. If it is to4
produce the necessary quantity and
quality of all kinds of live stock it .
must devote more anil better land to!
pastures and meadows.
Many formers in the south prize
wheat, corn. oats, cotton, rice and '
cane us crops because their growth
-has become a habit. Very few farmers
have compared the protlt derived from
I an acre of cotton and an acre of Her\
tnuda grass, lespedeza and some win'
ter clover. On many farms the growing
of cotton represents a loss instead
of a profit. On many farms in the
south the growing of leguminous crops !
lor two or thret> years until the worn- j
out cotton lands will grow good grass j
and the soiling of the land in Bermuda j
grass grazing of pure bred hogs, sheep, !
cattle and goats, horses and mules will
result in big profits instead of the
loss sustained liV till- prmi ini' r.r

on the same land year after year,
i Senator Ingalls said: "Next in itni
portanco to the divine prolusion of wa|
ler. light and air?those three physical
J facts which render existar.ee possible
I ?may be recorded the universal bej
neflcenco of grass." Ingalls told the
whole truth, but. few farmers in the
south believe what he said. Not one
farmer In a thousand l'ully appreciates
the full value of a good, p? rmanent
pasture. The most properous counties
in England owe their prosperous agriculture
to the magnificent pastures.
The blue grass regions of Kentucky
has done much to cause our farmers to
i appreciate grass to some extent. There
are sections of Tennessee and Virginia
where the successful growing of line
kstock has helped Kentucky to gain
friends for grass.
Wo firmly believe that we are tel' ng i
the truth when we say that the main
causo of the lack of prosperity on
southern farms is the absence of good,
permanent pastures. We have turned
out a worn, gullied cotton field,
stretched two or three barbed wires
around it and called it our pasture.
Not a furrow was turned, not a seed
was sown. No wonder that our pastures
are often referred to a "a placo
w lioro grass does not grow."
A good pasture is made by thoroughly
preparing very fertile soil and seeding
it to the right kind of mixed
grasses, so that every square foot of it
is well covered with nutritious grasses
instead of broomsedgo briars and 1
weeds. The large majority of us have
never had a good, permanent pasture
and therefore base our conclusions on
tho value of a permanent pasture on
our experience with a pasture where
grass does not grow. We have never
yet valued a thoroughly goor, permanent
pasture high enough. 1
Thero are, of course, pastures with- !
out grass, such as pastures of cow
peas, soy beans, peanuts, velvet beans,
oats, and so forth, but there are temporary
pastures and last for only a
short time. Of course, we must have 1
such temporary pastures in order to
succeed in the live stoek business, but 1
the subject before us just at present is |
n good, permanent pasture full of nu- '
tritious grasses and clover. We are "
bilking about taking land and thor- !

for stock. We can mix lespedcza,
white, crimson, burr clovers and the
vetches with llermuda and they will
grow well together. We can also mix
orchard grass, tall oat grass and the
red top with Hcrmuda. Hut putting
lespedcza on the Itermuda sod to asist
in furnishing summer pasture and
winter clovers, or a vetch on it to furnish
some winter and early spring
grazing, wo can supply continuous
grazing for our stock and at the same
enrich our land.
Sow lespedcza seed on itermuda sod
in February or early March: sow the
winter clovers or vetch seed in September
and October. When tho seer
are sown on a heavy sod. it is usually
necessary to disk it in order to insure
germination of the seed at an early
date.
llermuda may be propogatcd both
from seed and root cuttings. The
seed method is not recommended except
where it is very diflicult to secure
pieces of sod. Plow the land deep and
disk and harrow until it is line. I.av
ofT rows about two feet apart and four
inches deep with shovel plows. Drop
small pieces of the sod every two feet
in tho furrows and cover with a liar
row. A drag or light roller will put
tho finishing touches on the job. The
Bonding or the land may be done at
any time (hiring the year.
When wo have made our hill land
fertile by tlecp plowing, the addition
of commercial fertilizers and the growing
of leguminous crops, and have
thoroughly sodded them in Bermuda

wo can cut out some of our unprofitable
labors, substituting good hogs, j
brood mares, cattle and furnish the

Tho pasture lands should not only
bo fertile, thoroughly prepared and
preporly fertilized before sodding it in
grass. But the briars, brush and
weeds must be kept down and the
grasses fertilized and cultivated every
two or three years. Where lespedu/.a |

on Bermuda sod it -v.-i 11 not be necessary
to apply nitrogen except to the i
poorer spots.
It will usually pay to apply a light i
dressing of phosphate once every two

phosphates. On some sandy soils it.
will pay to apply potash every two

describing lils strange adventure with

"We were hound from Ixjudon to |
Montreal, and it was my turn on i
watch on the bridge in the early
morning of August 30. It was cold
and the gray dawn was just break- 4
ing, when, as I was keeping my eye
straight ahead on our course, T
picked up a queer-looking object about
a mile ahead. It disappeared, and as
quickly it shot up again no more than
200 feet away from the ship. '
"I distinctly-saw it rise out of the
water. First, there was a big head.
with long cars and long snout, and
bulging blue eyes that were mild and
liquid. Then there was a neck?no
end of a neck and it swayed with .
tiie wash of the waves. What it was
I couldn't guess, for in twenty years
of sea-going, including trips in tropical
waters. I've never seen anything
like this ana giraffe that was staring
right at the Corinthian.
"As the thing seemed to eye me it
lashed the water with its big front f 1

at the same time giving an
odd little wall like n baby's cry. You
wouldn't think such a huge animal
could have had such a small voice.

below and made a sketch of the monster
in India ink. When the Corin
