FARMING EFFICIENCY |
level of efficiency I nm sure they ,
never thought poss'ble. Where t
they used to plow and plant and >
chop two acres, for'every hale of i
cotton they harvested, they now s
get from a bale to a hale and a t
half off one acre. . ' ' r
Where some used to be satis* ?
fied with 15 or 20 .bushels of corn j
per acre, they noV average 50 to
CO and sometimes get nearly 100.
Actually, the increased produc-1
tion of feed crops is the basic fact ^
^ behind their raf>id shift from cot-ir
Ion to ivestock as one of their c
main methods of adjustment. In-|*
?Meau 01 ngnting gras* they way 's
I they used to do, most farmers are ^
now pampering it in an effort to a
develop more an J more acres of.v
