In this section the main re- tri liance of the farmers must be livestock to graze the large cut-over W( areas and a large area should be e(^ planted to corn and velvet beans for w< winter food. Peanuts, winter and nc spring growing truck crops, sweet po- Pl tatoes and in some sections melons a(' must, besides livestock, be the main c*' reliance of the farmers of the lower T coastal plain.

For middle coastal plain. (Ap. w proximately 50 to 100 miles inland.) In this section cotton production is 111 also hazardous but if the acreage is ra limited and dure care exercised the b? chances are in favor of a fair yield br 't o| during most seasons. A rotation sugf Rested for a 30-acre farm (of course so it must be varied to meet individual needs) is 10 acres of corn and velvet ** beans (or peas or soy beans) to be ar grazed off by cattle and Jiogs after gathering corn; 10 acres of cotton m and peanuts (say 6 acres of cotton w and 4 of peanuts); and 10 acres of bl small grain and truck, sorghum, su-' sv gar cane, etc. Watermelons have ar Via a mod crOD for this P* V? v\4 W MV ? A section where satisfactory marketing m ^ ? arrangements can be made. ai L ' ' III. For upper coastal plain and m sand hill region. The cotton acreage ^ here may be regulated according to cc the available labor to take care of cultivation, weevil control and jjj^t prompt (gathering. In no case, how. ever, should more than 50 per cent. i be put into -cotton and tobacco to- i gether. A liberal acreage should go < into corn and velvet beans. Hogs < ./ should be carried on every farm and i cattle where possible. Sorghum, fe,peas, sweet potatoes and in some gi * cases peanuts should be planted. IV. For Piedmont region. Cotton i ??'. production in this section is safer < Kan in the lower sections and will continue to be profitable on average years, provided due care is exercised in meeting weevil conditions. The acreage should be strictly limited to . an amount which can be perfectly . hapdled by the available labor. Ample ' food stuffs including corn, peas, velvet beans, potatoes, sorghum, wheat, oats, etc., should be grown. A suggested division of acreage for a 30acre farm has been made by one of the most successful planters in the Piedmont and may be found useful, ? although of course it should be modified to most individual needs. 10 acres of cotton; 6 acres of corn with jpeas or velvet beans; 8 acres in &? ' * wheat and oats, followed by pea g vines, beans and Lookout Mountain potatoes; 1 acre of sweet potatoes; 2 acres of alfalfa: 3 acres of sorghum; total, 30 acres. An ample number of hogs and a few Cattle should be carried on this farm and for these a * ? permanent Bermuda pasturage should ? H . be provided. * It would be well to in- | . crease the percentage of corn on a \ - - - *? it. ,j | KpT, farm or tins size uniess me muu is very fertile. Thirty acres is usually an awkward size for a farm as it is too large for one horse and not large gE]> enough for two. The relative proportion of different crops, however, may be observed no matter what the size of the farm unit. In every county the farmers should utilize fully the government farm experts. No one can advise intelligently .,v and correctly just what each individual farmer should do. The demonstration agent, however, can tell you j exactly what to do for he knows your conditions and has available all the necessary information to advise you upon each detail. A -most important factor for success under boll weevil conditions is hard and intelligent work. The slip. I shod farmer will be put out of busi-1 I ness in a few years ana oniy tnase j who work hard and use intelligent I |... ? methods will remain. In all crops only varieties of proven adaptability to the section and those which make a product of the highest money value as well as of good production per acre should be used. The year 1921 has been more favorable for the boll weevil than any since he entered the belt in 1892. Consequently he has done more damage than ever before. His damage next year and succeeding years will depend on weather conditions and the intelligence and industry used in fighting him. We urge all our citizens to cooperate to carry this message to every farmer and farm tenant in the state. Unless the main features of the above programme are generally adopted the whole state will suffer. \;v'r Last but not least call on the ex tension agents ana uiemsun oonege to help in every problem.
