COTTON IS GREAT CASH CROP Farmers Are Advised to Supplement It With Thoroughly Good Permanent Pastures, inaugurating Sys tem of Rotation. (By G. 1H. ALFORD.) I do not wish to be understood as advocating the diversification of crops to the extent of developing a scarcity of raw cotton to meet the demand of the consuming world. Such a course would be fatal to our cotton-growing Interests in more ways than one. I am anxious to see a sufliciency of raw cotton produced each year to meet all demands of consumption at, say 12 cents a pound. Cotton Is the greatest cash crop grown. The demand for It is rapidly increasing. The demands of the con. suming world double every 22 years. If we estimate 13,000,000 bales as a minimum supply on the part of the United States for the world's clothing at the present time, it will require 26,000,000 bales in 1932 and 52,000,000 bales in 1954. to meet the demand for commerce. I do not advise the farm ers of the cotton belt to supplant cot ton as the main cash crop, but urgo all of them to supplement it with thor oughly good permanent pastures, leguminous crops, grazing crops, for age crops and good live stock. The sensible thing for each farmer to do is to largely reduce his acrago in cotton, practice a system of rotation, including leguminous crops, and raise mules and horses, cattle, hogs, poul try and other live stock. Plant fewer acres in cotton, plant prolific seed, fertilize and cultivate better and ob tain an increasing yield of lint cot ton per acre. The acres which will not be needed for cotton under this modern system of farming can be thoroughly sodded in grasses and clo vers and planted in leguminous crops, corn, oats, rape, sorghum and cane. Under these advanegd methods the soil will rapidly increase in fertility, the money obtained for cotton will be kept at home, the cotton crop will cease to bear the entire burden of the Colt Raised in Alabama. total expense of each farm, the in iquitous credtt system that has for 40 years draggcod the growers bound and brokeni will no lotnger exist, and the growers will each year grow in strength and permanent prosperity. The first efforts at breaking away from cotton usually consist in going largely into another singie crop sys tem of farming rather than going into the production of a variety of crops. The evils of the new system are much greater than those of the all-cotton system. Many farmers rush Into the truck business. Of course, truck crops should be grown ont every farm and, in some particular localities, they may constitute the main reliance for cash, but I assert positively that the truck business is a gamble for the average cotton farmer and that he will win just enough to cause him to put up all he has atnd lose, Trucking has lured many a farmer to financial ruin. James J. 11111, one of the greatest thinkers of this age, says: "Give us a system of farming that will greatly increase the fertility of the sell." lHe further states: "Forty years ago a farmer had to provide for but one other than himself. Today every farm er has to produce food for two besides himself." Hion. Henry Wallace recently said: "The nineteenth century farmer, speaking generally, was no farmer at all, but a miner of soil fertility, a soil robber." Mr. Hill, speaking along the same line, said: "The average Amer ican farmer has no equal for careless ness and for adhering to dliscredite'd methods of farming; we will soon be uable to feed ourselves or to feed the boasted home markets for the oth er industries that we are building on a constantly narrowing base." Of course, the farmers must drain the land, thoroughly prepare the seed bed, plant prolific seed, practice fre quent and shallow cultivation and make the most careful use of manures and fertilizers, but no problem is of such importance as the maintenance of the supply of plant food In the soil. The first step to be taken in order to add to the supply of plant food, is to reduce washing to a minimum. Flow ing water removes more plant food in one year than is removed in five by crops sold from the farm, The addi tion of the vegetable matter, winter cover crops, deep plowing and proper ly construeted terraces will reduce the washing of land to a minimum. Diversilfieation of crops enables the fatnems a tamly to fa,.o sumptuously, " 0 0 " " "; .
