^ SUGGESKI) FARM PROGRAMME
& UNDER WEEVIL CONDITIONS

early with early approved varieties
and only the quickest acting fertilizer
used. 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. Pork and beef can be *n
as cheaply raised in this area as in eri
any section of the country as the hogs dc

or field crop grazing the entire year, ca
II. 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.
