Some VilvUt' (aivt'ii ??*11 Lute Atlanta, May 19.-?The manage? ment i f the Southern Itallway cotn pany, while appreciating the Impor? tance of diversified farming ami live stock raising i<? the agricultural de? velopment of the Southeastern stairs, h convinced that it is tu the Interest of tiie entire section that the produc? tion of cotton should not only be maintained, hut Increased. The de? mand of the world calls for a 'arge Supply of cotton from year to year. it is President Flnley's opinion that, if the growing of this commodity in Africa and Other parts of the world is not to he stimulated, the South must increase its production. Results that have been obtained by individual farmers demonstrate that thle can he done by securing a large average yield per acre, and, that at the same time, ample areas of land can he devoted to the growing of other crops and to live stock raising. Only a few weeks before his death, the late Dr. S. A. Knapp, of the Unl ted States Agricultural Department, prepared for the Southern Railway company concise recommendations as how best to increase the average yield of cotton per acre. The com? pany has had these recommendations printed on heavy cardboard and has hat! copies posted in its stations, in country stores. and at other place3 where they can be read by large num? bers of cotton growers. Dr. Knapp's advice is as follows: 1. Prepare a deep and thoroughly pulverised seed bed, well drained, Break in the fall, to a depth of 8, 10 >r 12 Inches, according to the SOU. I sc the implements that will not bring toe much of the sub-soil to the sur? face. (The foregoing depth should be reached gradually if the bed is broken bj an ordinary turning plow. If the disc plow is used, it is safe to break to the above depth at once.) l'. Practice diversification with crop rotation. Grow winter cover crops whenever practicable. if no cover crop is used, shallow winter cul? tivation should be practiced. .1. t'se seed of the best variety, In? telligently selected and carefully itored. Early maturing varieties are generally preferable, especially in boll weevil territory Where the weevil Is not present 'hey have the ad in tage 1 decreasing the danger of I >ss by e frosts In tbe f. II, i. Delay the plantli s intil the sou and temperature are warm enough to make it safe. 5. I'se intensiv shallow cultiva <'.. Use section harrow before and after planting and" on the young cot? ton. 7. Secure a high crntcnt of humus in the soil by the use of legumes, barnyard manure, farm refuse, and commercial fertilizers. 8. Accomplish more work in a day by using more horse power and bettet implements. 9. Increase farm stock to the ex? tent of utilizing all the waste products ind Idle lands of the farm. 10. Produce all the foods required >y the men and animals on the farm. The annual examination for the ?ractlce of pharmacy will be held in Ireenvllle this year on July the .".rd ind Ph.
