SOUTHERN FARMS
Everybody Should Join in the
Universal Farm Uplift
FARM METHODS ARE LACKING
Farmer* Can Eaaily Grow Twice Average
of Staple Crops?Many Great
Industrial Corporations of
Country Are Interested.
(By Q. H. ALFOllD.)
We have between the average and
the best in farming in the cotton belt
an attainable t.OOO per cent. This difference
of 1,000 per cent, against the
average farmer is due wholly to con
dttions which he can easily control
with the necessary knowledge. Every
corporation and business man interested
in the welfare of the country should
Join forces with the United States department
of agriculture, agricultural
colleges, experiment stations, state departments
of agriculture and other
forces and conduct great educational
campaigns until the foolish and criminal
waste that Is going on every year
by reason of unscientific methods of
farming is n thing of the past.
Our farmers can grow easily twice
the average yield of our staple crops.
This Increase would pour many millions
of dollars annually Into our
Industrial channels. Such an addition
could not be made without touching
every corporation, every banker,
every storekeeper, every doctor, every
lawyer, every editor and, in fact, every
person In the country.
Many of the great industrial como
rations of the country have alreudy
joined forces with national and state
Institutions and are helping the farmers
to larger production and to larger
life, and are thereby contributing to
the prosperity and uplift of the whole
people. Some people may attribute
this to pure selfishness, but from out
of that selfishness will evolve a better
condition among the farmers, greater
comforts in living, and more luxuries
of life and better opportunities for the
farmers to educate their sons and
daughters?thus the presumed selfishness
contains within it a resulting
philanthropy.
During the last ten years our acre
yield increased, but not half as much
as the increase of population. There

Fore, there Is every inducement to do
good farming, and to do good farming
we must decrease the number of the
neres of cotton and increase the number
devoted to pastures, forage crops
[?nd live stock. We have all hea\rd the
?ld Dutch proverb quoted before, but
we cannot quote it too often: "No
grass, no stock; no stock, no manure;
no manure, no crop." Holland is almost
entirely a grass and stock country,
and lands are worth on an average
of $r.0<> per ticre. These people
have found that they can make more
:?ut of land from grasses and livo
stock than they can by cultivating it.
Tnnuinbered acres of hill land in
the cotton belt are making less than
jne-third bale of cotton per acre, and
?t the same time making poverty for
those tilling them. The cost of coin
tnercial fertilizer applied annually is
ippalling. The razor-back terraces,
covered with weeds, grass and briars,
ind the circled and short rows present
the use of labor-saving implements.
Millions of acres of poor hillside
and now producing less than onehird
bale of cotton per acre should
tie plowed deep, well fertilized with
icld phosphate and some nitrogen and
some potash, when needed, and planted
in summer and winter legumes for.
?ay, two years, and then sodded in
Itermuda grass, lespedeza, crimson and
jurr clovers. Only by this method
ind stock raising can our wornout,
tullled cotton lands be restored to fer:ility
and only in this way can the
people of our snuthtand become prosl?erous
and contented.
We have worn out our lands in the
julckest possible time by growing cot- ,
ton and rigidly excluding grasses, |
;lovera and live stock \V?; have depleted
the soil of vegetable matter
ind it has washed away. This poor
toll moans a poor people, and the poor
people means bad roads, uncomfortiblo
homes, poorly equipped farms,
very little education, the credit sys
;em. and all tnat retards civilization.
The last census shows that our popilatien
increased 21 per cent, in the
preceding decade, while our meat- prolucing
animals decreased more than
10 per cent. Wo are facing a very
jerlous situation. The meat producing

tho economic use of the silo and cottonseed
meal will make our lands rich,
keep millions of dollars at home that
uro now sent to the north and west,
and make our people prosperous.
Tho calamity howler says: "What
about the lack of lime in the soil?" Dr.
Tail liutler, probably the best posted
man on southern agriculture, says, in
summing up a most excellent editorial
on "Lime in Southern Feeds:" "Wo
have shown: (1) That our soils are
not deficient in lime as regards tho
plant food requirements of our crops: '
(2) that plants grown In the south |
have as much ash as the same plants :
grown elsewhere, and that tho feed
crops of the south, especially the
legumes peculiar to the south, contain
as high a per cent, of ash as the
feed crops of other sections; (3) that ,
typical southern rations are those
made up of typical southern feeds and
contain more ash than typical northern
feeds. The conclusion is, therefore,
that while our animals fail to
get the mineral matter they need, it
is not because this material is deficient
in our feeds, but because our
animals do not get sufficient of our
feeds."
In the cotton belt, live stock farming
has been avoided mainly for two
reasons: (1) Because all-cotton farming
paid better until the soil became !
poor; (2) because of the cattle tick.
Now, millions of acres are too poor
to grow cotton profitably, and we can
easily eradicate the cattle tick. Since
the work of eradicating the tick was
inaugurated, nearly 200.000 square
miles have been cleaned for all time;
this is an area over three times as ,
large as Alabama. The tick injures |
tho hide, reduces tho milk flow at
least ten per cent., makes it very difficult
to fatten cattle, prevents the introduction
of good cattle to breed up
our native cattle, lowers the price of
our cattle on the markets and destroys
more than enough cattle every year
to pay for its eradication.
Tho invasion of the boll weevil and
the consequent reduction of the profits
of cotton growing is forcing many
farmers to grow crops which must of
necessity bo marketed through tho
agency of live stock, and it is the function
of live stock on the farm to furnish
a market for tho crops that are
grown, enabling the farmers to con- j
vert grasses, forage crops, cow peas
and soy beans, and so on, into higher i
priced finished products and to return
to the soil the plant food taken from

Livo Btock should certainly bo given t
a prominent place in the agricultural >
development of the cotton belt. Next
to having good and intelligent people

probably of the most Importance. This 1
being true, every state In the cotton
