ERS A Farming Pro How the Small Farmer May SoccoJ tensive Work, With Especial and the Family Garden, Al (By A. M. Soule, President Georgia j State College ot Agriculture.) A farmer has 28 acres of land fair- j ly well suited to cultivation. He has been "Blzlng cotto? production very strongly in the past. He sud denly finds cotton unprofitable and | realizes that under existing condi tions he must change his practice es- ] seniially. This is the1 issue confront ing the Southern farmer at the (res ent time. What can he do .to meet j the situation? First of all, he should minimize! cotton production and not attempt to devote more than five acres ot hU ] land to the cultivation cf this crop in i 1915. At least eight acres' of the land now in cotton should be seeded to ce reals immediately; three acres should be used where tho soil is suited to this crop, for wheat, and five acres for oats. He should prepare an acre of land as carefully as possible with tho idea of planting Irish potatoes as early in the spring aa it is practi cable to put them in the ground. When tho Irish potato crop is har vested the land should be devoted to sweet potatoes. He should ?ot aside five acres . to be planted to grazing crops to be harvested by hogs. He j should certainly devote a half acre to a garden for his family and to the production ot such trucVs as will sell molt readily In tho local ' markets. One-half acre of land should be de voted to the growth of a variety of crops suited to poultry. Eight acres should be devoted to cora, with vel vet beans, peanuts, or cowpeas In the middles. As soon as the oats and ! wheat are ripe, prepare the land j thoroughly and sow to peas, or peas and millet for hay. This accounts for the 28 acres which the small farmer can hope to operate successfully with tho power of one or. two horses or mules and such labor aa his family can provide. The reader will observe that this provides for an intensive system of j cultivation and that a considerable area of land produces two crops in I a year. This means, of course, that thorough and efficient soil prepara tion must be had, and that the land must be had, and that the land mast bc Judiciously handled and aa well fertilized aa possible. It is well to remember also, that the system ot farming proposed tends tn conserve fertility, as -some of the crops grown are of a restorative nature, and lt tho crops are fed to livestock, as ls anticipated'in this discussion, a large tiuititiiiy ?u uianuro w?i n? nvaiiabie for the further enrichment of the BOIL Contiguous tn practically every area of cultivated land in the South, there will be found sore or less waste or idle land, as much as 15 to 25 acres. This laira should be used for grazing such cows and calves as may be raised on the farm, and as a range for the hogs when not confined oh specialised grazing crops. Tf a part of this additional land is in p?e-CtuTC, it Wail ?x? ca^rcvini" ly valuable for the purposes men tioned. ' Situated aa described in this arti cle, what may a farmer operating 28 lacres ' of laud naturally expect to produce in au average season where the land is reasonably well handled? The figur?s presented below haye been carefully considered, and the krrit?r Seliev?B them to be thorough |ly conservative. They are based on ?ae results of close observation and on data obtained from, practical far mers. They are also in accord with tho results obtained on the college ?farm at Athens, in seme localities line land mav not produce as large Icrops as indicated, or seasonal eon Idltions may interfere. In ether in ?atances these figures may be surpass, The cotton land should produce five bales; tbe ira should yield at the rate of 35 bushels, making a to tal of 280 bushels tor the'elght acres. 'Che three acres of wheat should yield SO bushels of threshed grain; ?the Ava acres of oats, 40 bushels oer ?aere, or 200 bushels all told. Tbe ?irish potatoes should yield 100 bush els abd the sweet potatoes 100 bush The , garden should provide an of food for the family and fe a considerable surplus for aale, of the canning club girls in gie have sold more than $50 o* tomatoes from a tenth-acre j The five aerea devoted to: crops for hog? with such sun- I p?ptDc???l ? ??i fi ?5 ?uS ?i???nf fftis?S | should be ample to finish 25 animal?: ii weight of 300 pounds apiece. ? or' evOao*ffcottncs or pork tn an. it is, j of course, figured that the necessary ?robe* ?cfwh. three to fh-? in nulabor, will also fe* fed and retained on the! farm *fof another year.

In addition to the above, there is an abundance ot grain for feeding one to two hoad of work stock and at least two cows which will supply | the farmer with an abundance of i milk amj butter and leave $50 worlh ! of dalry products for sale. There | is plenty of roughage and grain also to carry three yearlings through the summer on grass and finish them in the fall at a sale price of $30 a head. Totaling these fleures, we find the gro3B eal CB from the farm to be $1, 160. Allowing a liberal rental and' for taxes, the farmer should have ? $1,000 at the end of the year to pay | for his labor and that of his family. ? In addition, he has lived off the? land, and lived well. He also has for the.) [enrichment and maintenance of the! productive power ot his soil an ac-: I cumulation of 18 to 25 tous of yard, manure worth, on the baslB of the prevailing prices for commercial fer tilisers, $5 per ton. He would se-1 cure this manure as the result of feeding tho livestock with such grain and roughage as there ls on the farm. He would have about two and a half tons nt cotton seed, and hs should be able to exchange these for at least two tons of high-grade meal, which would afford the supplemental con centrates needed to maintain the number of livestock mentioned. There are thousands of farmers in the South so situated that they cen carry Into full force and effect, by talcing action immediately, a plan such as veen indicated, and lt 1B needless ?tate that by doing BO they wouiv. effectually solve the prob lem of the hour and be in better fi nancial condition next fall than they can possibly hope to be by the pur suit of the all-cotton will-r.'-tho wisp. FALL TREE PLANTING. Autumn ls the time for all fruit tree planting tn the South. Our sot) does not-freeze deeply, and ls often unfrozen for weeks st a time, and the root action of the trees goes on and new - fibres snd root hairs are formed ready to supply the swelling buds in spring. In lifting trees from the nursery the fine fibres and root hairs, the only parts of the roots that get food from the soil; are nec essarily destroy .!, and new ones must be formed l?efore the tree can i Bupply new food tb' the leaves. Hence I when planting in spring it often hap I peuB that the weather turns hot and Ith?' dftVolontrmnf nf the "?C??i??C ?? j >!d, and~*?e uto?e ic tho trss JS*yj become exhausted before the roo.a are ready tn furnish more, and the tree dies from exhaustion. A "good healthy tree, properly planted in the fall, seldom .falls to grow. But the new feeding roots are . more Tepidly developed from, a clean' cut surface than from the dried rp fibres. Hence in planting any tree il ls better .to prone the roots well, cut ting with a smooth sloping cut on the tinder side. I always prune all the [roots co about six menes long, and thea- in setting a tree put the top j ?oil dows first and ran} every inch ot it tight aa though setting a post. This shuts out tbe sir and prevents drying, out. Never nut say.manure in direct contact with the roots of a tree. Tt is all right tn put some on [top sf ter the tree Ia planted. , I have always advocated the plant-'] lng Qf one-year-old trees, because one' can then head them back to start the head as low as ts necessary, for the' older trees In the nursery are usually furnished with a head started too high above the ground, for the nar-, serymen know that most people llke i tall trees.

Contrito THE WHITE TENANT AND THE "ALL COTTON" SYSTEM For half a century . thia "submerged" white tenantry of tbe South has been ground between landlordism on the one side and the black tenant on the other. For half a century he has beer* forced to come into close competition with the man but a few generations removed from the jungle and, the naked truth of it is, he ls today practically where he was fifty years ago. For half a century he bas been compelled to submit to a sys tem (all cotton) devised by thos<* higher up, a system that bis own better judgment told him was wrong both in principle and practice, and now tbrt the folly of it ts made plain to all. be has been threatened with prosecution and Imprisonment by the very element that saddled lt on him. Failing to i Iso abovo this all-cotton system, the word "shift loss' ls hurled at him from every quarter, and under this cruel and in mort case?, unjust taunt he shambles through life, sullen and resentful, r* With him goes a hollow-chested, over-worked woman, like him, uneducated, bringing into the world children, who sa a rule repeat the whole miserable tragedy. Should he, on account of a barren home life, decide to quit t the unequal struggle and turn from a future that knows no hope, the door of the cotton mill is practically the only one open to him. Many of them attempt to thus escape, and in the hope bf bet tering conditions, place their little ones amid the ceaseless rattle and click of the flying shuttlee, where their young lives are woven into .dividends for others. These are the farmers (God save the mark) who are suffer ing most These, with the help of the black tenant, are the ones upon which this unjust system ls built, and let us not de ceive ourselves. This system must be radically modified, for it will, If not changed, bring a disaster greater than has ever been witnessed In this "land of the free"-thia "home of tho brave." Thia brother of ours--and the ox-does not ask for charity, for under that ragged shirt beats a heart into which has been poured the blood of a nobje race, but he dovu ask for simple jus tice and thc friendly handshake of bis more fortunate brother.
