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

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

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.
