Atlantic Coast Line THE STANDARD RAILROAD OF THE SOUTH OVERPRODUCTION IN INTENSIVE FARMING A Convenient Rack for Magllng Fodder. \ (Prepared by the United Htau-n Depart ment of Agriculture.) Id order to make tUe small farm profitable, It Is, in most cane*. Decen nary for the farmer to devote him < If to Homo Intensive type of agriculture *uoh an truok farming, poultry, fruit growing, Intensive duirylng, etc. He fore any of tbe?0 can be nuccemful, the market demand apd transportation facilities rnunt he adequute.' Wheu perinhsble product* are grown far from their mark^tn Dot oDly are the freight aDd commission charges apt to be prohibitive, but Id the period be tween the shipping of the commodity aDd Its nale on the market, price* which were attractive at time of ship ment may have dropped with results dinantroun to the grower. iDtensive crops such as gar<l<-n truck, fruit, etc,, have a much wider rauge and more rapid fluctuation of prices than Htaples like wheat or coro. A comparatively smalt acreage is suf ficient to nupply the demand for the Intensive crops. II is vejjy easy there fore to Increase thin acreage to u point where the market Is flooded and prices drop immediately. Taking the country as a whole, vegetables, includ ing' potatoes, occupy only two and one half per cent of the crop area, and this acreage, under present conditions, fur nishes about all that the market can absorb at a price that will be profit able to tlie grower. If the farmer is Ill-advised enough to undertake the production of garden truck at a time when the supply is greater than the available markets re quire, it is a comparatively easy mat ter for him to correct his mistake. In the case of fruit, however, it token longer to produce a crop, and a simi lar jnijtfiikn bt ,tbf>rr?for/? Utyaly . ?>'> done at any time until It la too late to perm it" tbe crop to mature before froat. The land uhould be plowed In the spring for aurface planting aud then itllowt'd to li" rough until about seed ing time when it should be smoothed with a drag harrow or disk. For fur row planting spring plowing is not necessary. A lister like those made for Ranting corn can be used on stubble or cotton land without pre vious preparation. If the farmer does not have a lister the furrow can be laid out with ft plow and the seed planted with a one horse drill after the manner of planting cotton or corn. Planting in furrows is recommended for western Texas or Oklahoma, and flat or ridge planting for all the region cast of this where the rainfall is more abundant. When planted in rows 36 t,o 44 Inches apart 4 to 6 pounds of seed to an acre are /ufflcleut. Borghum seed is usually chetp, but the farmer is urged to buy only standard varieties from a reliable dealer. When planting in rows, thorough cultivation la as essential to the sorghums as to corn. This method produces larger yields and the crop Is better prepared to withstand drought than If broadcast or drilled. Where the latter method is 'followed, how ever," the practice is the same as for oats or any other small-grain crop. Cowpeas or soy beans are also fre quently mixed with sorghum to Im prove the quality of the hay. This Is especially frequent on dairy farms. Three parts of cowpeas or soy beans to one of sorghum seed is tbe usual proportion. From 60 to 90 pounds of the seed mixture is required to the acre. As ( pasture, sorghum is safe only aft/rxr Hp u h^ipvo -f'JtU-y J ? A Good Bunch of Feeder#. more serious. The acreage devoted to fruit Is even smaller ? one fend three fourths per cent of the country's crop area ? than that devoted to vegetables. Until there Is Increased consumption either In this .or other countries ac cessible to our growers overproduction can easily occur. Sorghums for Southern Live Stock. Every southern farmer who Is pro ducing beef or milk should grow the sweet sorghums. These are not rec ommended as money crops, but as a fodder they, are practically equal In value to corn while as a rule better yields can bo obtained. They should be consumed for the most part on the farm where they are grown or at least at points within hauling distance. The sorghums are particularly use ful as silage, which Is essential to the live stock owner and particularly to the dairy farmer. The various south ern states report yields of from 16 to 20 tons of sorghum silage per acre, which Is an average of from 2 to 4 tons more than the yields of corn, while the relative value pound for pound of the two feeds has beeil found to be much the same by experiments conducted at the Kansas agricultural experiment station. 4 In fact for beef cattle these tests showed that sweet sorghum silage was, if anything, su perior to corn stlago., The sorghums intended for silage, however, should not be harvested before they are fully matured. If cut when the seed is hard there will bo no trouble from spoiling or from excessive acidity. From 20 to 3T0 pounds per day is considered a full feed, but this should always be sup plemented with 12 to 15 pounds of dry roughage and some concentrate like corn or cottonseed meal. - Cottonseed meal combines particularly well with sorghum silage, and since this meal is always abundant in the South, this Is another reason for growing the sor ghum. For forage in the South the sweet sorghums will be found better than the grain sorghums, such as mtlo, kaflr and feterita, which suffer from the attacks of the sorghum midge. Of the various varieties the Sumad, Orange, Amber, Gooseneck and Honey are probably to be preferred. The Am ber and Orange are the earlier kinds and two cuttings can often be obtained from them. All of these varieties re spond excellently to good soil, but they succeed on many different types; a rich, loose, well-drained clay loam soil Is the best. A watej-logged clay cttr extremely sandy boU will not afford profitable returns. Fertilizers strong in nitrate applied to poor soils will produce good results and the free use of barnyard manure Is always advis able. Sorghums may be planted as soon as the ground becomes warm In the spring, nsually from one to two weeks lat< r than Indian corn. When the sea son is favorable, the planting may be ' that is, after the seed has become hard. Before this time, especially aft er a period of draught, a poison some times forms which is fatal to stock. Where there, are two growths the sec ond is considered more dangerous than the first, and any stock allowed to pasture on it should be carefully watched. In feeding the. hay, from 18 to 25 pounds a day will be found sufficient for milk cows and wVrk horses, if it is accompanied by the ordinary amount of grain. Beef cattle, however, should be fed all that they wi\l eat clean. Stock cattle and horses can be carried through the winter on a liberal quan tity of sorghum without any grain. INCREASING SOIL FERTILITY Farmer Can Secure More Cotton by Planting on Area Where Legumi nous Crop* Have Grown. Inasmuch as green crops suitable for hog cholera can be maintained in the South practically every month in the year, it is possible for the south-, em farmer to make more money than the northern farmer upon /hog-pro ducing operations, and th^ profits made are Jn proportion to the amount of green food used. But in additloil to making ready money on the hogs themselves the farmer who grows le guminous crops and grazes them off with hogs has a fertilizer factory on his own farm. In a test at the Ar kansas station, hogs grazed upon areas of peanuts, chufarf and soy beans. The following two years the land was planted in cotton, and data were col lected to determine what effect this grazing might liavo upon the cotton yield. The effect was remarkable* for in stance, in the case of soy beans and peanuts the Increased yield of cotton was 44.6 and 61.1 per cent, respective ly. The effects of growing these crops and grazing them off does not stop with the cotton grown the year im mediately following the grazing. The data show that, the increase over the corn lot was still considerable in the. second year. It is therefore apparent that the farmer can get more cotton when it is planted on an area where hogs have grazed or where peanvits, soy beans, or other legumes have "been grown. Cottonseed Meal at Protein. If some mill feed mush be pur chased ns a Source of proteip, 'cotton seed meal is at present the cheapest source. A still better solution of the protein question is to grow it in al falfa or clover hay. Duck Raising. Pucks are very easily raised and good l*vers or good market fowls, will thrive in any climate, with a dry shed for shelter. We have for sale 46 acres in the town of Lugoff, S. C.
