OUR COLLECTION OF
TWELVE THINGS TO DO ON THE
FARM THIS MONTH
(1) See that the seed bed for all
crops is not merely well broken but
thoroughly pulverized by harrowing
and disking. An ounce of preparat
ion may be worth a pound of cultiv- 1
thion.
(2) (let ready with weeders and
harrows to kill the grass before it
conies up. Don’t be afraid of hurt
ing the stand. This will not happen.
(3) Place orders for ail improved
plows, harrows, weeders, cultivators,
and other labor-saving tools and ma
chinery. Get ready to make ypur
crop with cheap horse labor instead
of expensive hand labor.

In discussion of farm life recently
with a progressive young farmer,
who is in love with his work, we
were struck with what he is accom
plishing. Ijist year he planted
thirty acres, and the only expense
! to which he was put for planting
and cultivating this crop was . 47
cents for hoeing, all the work being
done by himself. He produced more
corn than he could make use of,
sold a number of hogs and made
eight bales of cotton. For severaj
years this young man has been
depositing in a bank an average of
$30. per month, hut last year he
exceeded this amount considerably.
The only criticism that we can make
of this young farmer’s life is tlat he
is a “lone, lorn croetur,” but he will

in the South for fertilizers each year
at least $10,000,000 is wasted through
ignorance of crop needs and soil

. SAYS GOnON PLANT CAN FEED
THE SOUTH, 1
, .That the cotton plant is capable
not only of clothing but feeding in
large part the people of the South
was the statement made to Secretary
Dickinson by his nephew, who re
sides in Ennis, Tex. He has. inform
ed the secretary of the shipment to
him from Texas of samples of cotton
seed flour, bread and cakes. This
food had been privately tested for 20
years, and the secretary’s nephew
wishes him to test it. ,
The cost of the cottonseed flour is
said to be only 50 or 75 per cent that
of cereals, while its nutritive value is
declared to be from 5 to 7 times as
great. To give the necessary consist
ency, about 40 per cent of wheat
flour is added to the cottonseed flour,
but for cakes and such food no mix
ture is required.
Analysis shows that the cotton seed
contains 37.7 per cent more protein
than wheat flour and though it is
deficient to the extent Of 44.7 per
cent in carbo-hydrates, the lack easi
ly can be remedied by the use of ve
getables or sugar.
Sec relay Dickinson and his friends
are awaiting the arrival of the box
with interest.
