THAT MUST BE DONE ' I. !i Recommends the Planting of; i Corn in Seven Foot ] * Rcv/s. i J: Numbers of bankers, merchants, '1 and farmers of t:ie State are aroused to the danger of the advancing hoi! J weevil, but many of them have no! (U-iiPite and easily loiiowccl program, which will prove effective in making!' the situation livable when the weevil) arrives. Any crop rotation must j take into account renters and share i I 1 croppers who arc a majority of our farmers, and it must at the sunn time appeal to the large landholder whose active co-operation will Ik 1 absolutely necessary. Every authority on the subject agrees, first, that ' the cotton crop should be reduced; second, that food crops should be increased; third, that the soil should be enriched, before the weevil ar- ' rives. The increased food crops should, of course, be readily marketable and should afford the maximum improvement to the soil. I believe we have one crop?the 90 or 100 dayvelvet bean?which is admirablysuited to this purpose, and I propose the following recipe for the onehorse tenaiit farmer which may bej1 readily adanted to use hv farnurc nf'i On*? CJ17A The average ono-horse farmer now. plants say twenty acres of cotton-J , ' 1 and four acres of grain (corn and, oats). Let his merchant and land-;' lord insist on his planting this year ' six acres or more of corn and eigh- \] teen acres or less of cotton. In the J six acres of corn insist that he plants early velvet beans. < Next year (1918) have him plant 11 nine acres of corn with velvet beans 1 and fifteen acres of cotton. Six j 1 acres of these fifteen will be behind the previous year's velvet bean crop i and will require no fertilizing ex- i cept Acid Phosphate or Ground Phos i phate Rock, costing $2.00 to $3.00 j per acre., \ In 1909 the corn and velvet bean crop should be increased to twelve j acres and the cotton reduced to , twelve, nine of which will be behind i the previous year's velvet beans andS rerfuire but a small outlay for fcr-'i tilizer. \ In 1flifl pAftrtn ? ? ...? vwwvu hl i *"ci IllilV (I remain at twelve acres and the other^ twelve should again be put into corn'< and beans each year thereafter the i cotton will follow the bean crop and 1 the beans follow the cotton crop. A< cover crop of Abruzzi rye (or in j some cases Crimson clover) should < each year be put in the cotton. '] While the boll weevil may be expected to arrive here within two < years, it is probable that his maxi-'< nium damage will not come before 1920. If this scheme is followed, our \ cotton acreage will by then all be <= ? STOP LEFT OVER COUGHS. |l Dr. Bell's Pine-Tar-Honey will stop i that hacking cough that lingers from't January.

Formula on the bottle. 25c.?adv?No. 2? j 1 pon land which has the previous I ear produced the finest of humus | nd nitrogen crops?velvet beans? he fertiliser requirement being less ban GO per cent, of that now conidercd necessuiy. Upon such lami nd with such fertilizing we may, >y following the governments recipe or the production of cotton under I oil weevil conditions, expect to nake at least as much cotton per icre as is now being made. With noderate fertilizing the com may e expected to make not less than en bushels per acre and the beans lot less than fifteen bushels. Three lundred bushels of grain is now * nore than half the value of the v iroduct of the average twenty-four 1 icres rented or share cropped, and is luite equal in value to the average > otton crop upon the same acreage. It will in most cases be necessary * ,o plant for horse feed about two N teres in oats followed by peas or c >eans to each twenty-four acre crop. * This will come out of the corn ami relvet bean acreage and will not in- ' erfere with the efficiency of the 1 scheme. If tobacco is planted, it ( should come out of the cotton acre- * ige. A The worst infested boll weevil 1 areas in south Georgia, Alabama, 1 i it* . ; inn Mississippi arc now using tiuf velvet bean profitably. The farmer? , laim that they can raise freni twenty to thirty bushels per acre of tcans besides an average corn cr;p. Wherever they are being raised ir j .\;;y cpmntity oi! mi'ls and merchants j !iuve prepared thmeselvcs to grind them for feed ar.d the farmers, 1 un ;lerst; n I, are receiving about $20.00 pel* ton for them in the hull. We, i duj.~?c1vcs, thi.> year planted fifty , nine acres o'' those beans in corn, on pool, sandy soil. We made frcm tc? tj sixteen bushels of corn and fro. fifteen to twenty-seven bushels cl beans per aero, the average yield of f ? no i o K ?: 1 ' 1 n/c ?-*???:> ue.1 i v m cuvvy one unu bushels per acre (figuring ninety 1 pounds per bushel). We had sov<yi | !icres of these beans on better lain* ' which produced thirty-three and one I third bushels per acre. They are a < magnificent feed, suitable to feeding ' to mules and cattle without grinding. < Hogs will also do well on beans. ( though it is better to feed them < ground. 1 In order to grow velvet beans sue < eessfully it is necessary to get them < in early. We recommend the planting- < r>f corn in seven-foot io\vs and the ] planting of velvet beans in an open Rhovel furrow in the middles from April 20th to May 1st. On poor land 1 plant one bean every eighteen to twenty-four inches, on rich land one 1 or two beans every three or four feet. If preferred, the beans may he planted between the hills of corn. It 1 is absolutely necessary, however, to get them in very early if a full crop is to be made. It will be impossible to get the cooperation of the tenant class in car- ( rying out this program unless they are assured a reasonable tenure of land. The land owner should assure his tenant that he will not be required to move as long as he carries out this rotation and properly cultivates his crop. One of the most attractive featur- , es of the program outlined above is that it is safe and practicable even if the boll weevil should delay or entirely cease his progress (a theory for which there is no warrant). II idopted, it will result in the enrichment of the soils, the increase of live J stock, big reduction in farm expense, ind an all round sane farming sys-: 1 tern. 1 Another most compelling reason for greatly increasing the production nf grains and live stock is the world | war in which it seems this natibn , will be forced to become a partici- , pant. A food famine threatens half < the world and even this great food ^ nation has no adequate surplus with | which to relieve the necessity of | >ther peoples, and is itself feeli( nost acutely the high cost of the , necessities of life. Both self-inter- j ist and patriotism should at this ( juncture induce every farmer in this :ountry to produce all the foodstuff ( possible. j I hope very much that every land- ^ >\vner, banker and merchant in the < State will realize the absolute neces- t ;ity of using his most earnest efforts 1 ,o secure the adoption of this or 1 ?ome closely similar program this ] ,'ery year by all our farmers, both r argc and small, white and black. It J s not mainly a question of philan- i hropy, it is one of actual bread and \ >uttcr, in which the banker, mer- > ihant and professional man is just i is much interested as is the farmer. < Let us then all wake up before it c s too late and do the obviously necessary thing for our own and the \ state's safety and prosperity. .1 ?DAVID R.

In this connection statements have been obtained from K. Lee Wersham, State entomologist of Georgia, and W. E. Hinds, State cntomolog'st of Alabama, both cd' when vara the farmers not to deceive themselves, that the weevil will be on hand as usual. "Take no rhnn o-." sj-w: M r sham, in h?c admce t?> farmers about trusting that the wirier has checked il\o boll weevil. "While temperatures of JO to 12 (U j*roes will kill wei viis, it does not follow that beeai's the thermometer registers at sueh figures that isn't so cold where the boll weevil is hidden snugly away under roofs, bark of trees, in old stumps, cribs, " hay stacks, etc. ? ? ! "Whatever the winter may have done for the weevil it is very certain that enough remain alive and active to d0 plenty of damage to cotton this year. High priced cotton is, of course, very inviting, which inclines the farmer to hope and believe the weevil has been hard hit by the winter, but the farmer will make a serious mistake if he does not follow the advice which has been given him ilhnilt <rvnwinn- nnff AM - I"" 1- ?n uutici uuu weev?l conditions, and it he does not diversify and prepare to live at home as far as possible. It takes very few weevils to produce enough offspring to clean up a cotton crop of a whole county in a season. The best advice I can give tlie farmer in the boll weevil territory 'play safe.' "From 70 weevils, according to the bureau of entomology of the United States department of agriculture, as many as 3,001,250 weevils may be produced from the four generations of one season." Mr. Hinds, on the same subject, issued this statement on March 9: "Plenty of weevils will survive to give serious trouble this season, providing we have average climatic conditions from now on. It will undoubtedly be wiser for farmers to keep their cotton acreage down to what they can he sure of caring for well. I sincerely hope that farmers wiil not get into a trap by planting former acreages with expectations that the severe winter has destroyed the boll weevils. Food crops still promi i i ? ? im' 10 ue mgn, and promise excellent returns to the farmer who will give them place on his farm programme."
