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.
