A Letter to Demonstrators c
From the U. S. Department
, oi Agriculture Relative to c
Cultivation at This Time. ?
We publish below a letter from the ?
United States Department of Agricul J
turc. Bureau of Plant Industry, to the
County Demonstrators of the Farmers n
Cooperative Demonstration work. It's ^
contents will, no doubt, be of interest
to tlie farmers of Ffanklin co?nty. The
letter follows:
I ust at the closing of the corn season r
and in the midst er the cotton cultiva- ^
tion, one lesson should be impressed on b
every farmer and that is that .as a rule (
v.*e lay by our corn and cotton too soon,
, provided we are using shallow cultiva- j
tion. Deep cnltivation is of course t
damaging. But the cotton crop ia
greatly helped by a coutinuance of cul- p
tivanon just as Jate as possible and the ^
best rule I have observed is to continue ?
until some of the bolls begin to open.
Just as long as the cultivators are kept
running the soil is stirred and the cot- J
ton plants keep putting on bloom, which
is of the greatest importance under boll ?
weevil conditions and is almost equally
important where the boll weevil JS not e
present. Sometimes a quarter of a ?
bale is added to the yield of an acre by J
this late cultivation. We are in too .
much of a hurry to get through and lay
by. The-farmer likes to think that his 0
job is done and Nature must do the
rest. We are largely founding our re- '
form in agriculture on deep and
thorough preparation of the soil, bet- *
tor seed, and shallow, intensive culti- 1
vation, lung continued. Of course it is c
necessary to have the implements so *
that we can get over the ground rapidly
and the man who has not the implements
should get them in someway immediately
for they pay for themselves
iu one year. -We must also have
stronger teams but that takes time and
we will discuss that a little later. - - _
IMPORTANCE OP PLANTING A CVVEIt CHOP
P' AT THE TIME OP LAVING BY OP CORN j
AND COTTON.
One of the moBt disastrous mistakes t
we have made in trying to farm our c
lands i- limiting the product to one t
crop and sometimes thinking that when r
the land Ifes exposed for half a year or \
more that we are letting it rest. The i
truth is that land frequently loses more a
fertility by exposure during the period t
when i- is idle than during the crop- 1
producing period. Then too, in the c
Southern States, we should take advantage
of all that Nature gives us. j
The first progressive step to- take is i
to keep the land doing something the f
year round, and we must commence in j
the cotton field and corn field. Last a
month I sent out a littlb-letter showing t
the value of planting cowpeas in the j
corn. That is of great importance <j
Wtule it detracts nothing from the corn a
.it does give a crop of great- value for 9
feeding the stock in the fall and then it c
leaves in the soil a large amount of t
vegetable matter to feed the erops of d
the next season. Two suggestions h
dome here-. I
in the extreme South com is bar- t
vested and the cowpeas can be fed in 3
. time to put in a winter" cover crop
which should always be done, if -possible.
But'further North it may be a
little late to do this and is better in
such cases to saw.betwecn the corn at
the last cultivation crimson clover, or
rve and vetch. We generally use about
three-fourths rye and one-fourth vetch.
After the corn is I tar vested these n
crops will thrive mightily and in the I
sprint; furnish a large amount of material
to turn under and enrich the soil, s
or may be cut for hay. Numerous casos 1
in Virginia and the Larolinas have been
reported to us where the crimson clover g
yielded over two tons of hay per acre p
ami cut in time to plow the land for
the corn crop in the spring. Some farmers
alternate and cut half the plot for
hay and the other half they turn under
to enrich the soil, alternating each yean. n
Thus tire amount of food secured for 8
stock was nearly equal to the corn crop j>
and made during the period when most "
W farmers allowed their land to run- to 41
weeds.
ROTATION. O
If we are ever to become groat and b
prosperous farm#s and ham thrift fa
everywhere through the country, we ai
must adopt some system of rotation, tl
At leastwe must have a plan about our a
farm so that We M not continue In raise ir
the same crop on a field each year, tl
goil dislikes to be put at the same task a
every year just as much as boy gets a
weary dointf one job th<r*y*ar. round. tl
An,l ihis U. the second part of our prop- U
olition. The first, as stated. Is to a
plant sornsthls* in the sorv and for U
' =j
NAGER
hat matter In the cotton tco, where I
here is no infestation of boll '
reevil. Of course where the boll
'eevil ie present it is necessary to plow .
he land early in the fall, but where
here is no boll weevil, planting rye
nd yetch in the ^ton^or the winter
over crop is an excellent plan. It does
ot hurt the cotton and it does a great '
eal of good to the land. In Texas,
Iklahotna, and Arkansas, it is generlly
too dry at the time the cultivation
f cotton is discontinued for the safe
lanting of crimson clover or vetch,
nd under boll weevil conditions their t
rowth would be small before it was ,
ecesaary to fall plow that it would not j
e economic to use them even if the <
ilanting was successful, but rye can be j
iat in deep enough to reach moisture i
nd make a stand. Five- or six rows ]
ather close together can be planted in
he middles at the last cultivation.' It
etter be drilled and it will make a
air growth before'wlnter s? ts in. The ;
iumus thus accumulated is a clear gain.
)ut in the corn we can always follow (
he plan of planting rye and yetch.
And ,here comes the necessity for our 1
econd suggestion, that we should do
nore than just rotate for. cotton and H
orn. For farms that are eminently 1
dapted to the production of these
ilants it has been suggested thatj ferility
could be maintained by planting
very third year in cotton, then run 1
wo years to corn,planting between rows :
ach year some fertilizing plant like '
ow peas, crimson clover, or rye and
'etch. This would restore the fertility
o such an extent that we would prolably
get as much cotton out of the
ine crop planted once ip three years as <
re now get out of the crop in two
ears. Some farmers may be able to
ake a longer rotation. If so, they are
rise farmers who do this.- A four year
otation is an excellent plan where
otton ie planted only once during the
>eriod, coyn twice and cowpeas and oats
ince. Other rotations will suggest
hemselves according to conditions.
j Iti mate y in cotton projection tlie sueessful
planter must establish a rotaion
which includes &ome pasture or
Leaving-shading leguminous crop that
gill kill out weeds. One of the most
laniaging things in cotton production
o-day is the presence of weeds and
[tass. They so foul the land, overawe
ind subjugate the young cotton plants,
bat I be ieve about four times as much
latuage is caused by foul lands as by
he boll weevil. However, we can
lever expect to reduce this condition
:ery much or eliminate weeds and
intil our highways and fence corners
ire kept free from weeds which disribute
seed <>n every hand. Sooner or
ater we shall be compe led to make war
in weeds.
but do not fail to have a plan. It is
ust about as wise to commence buildng
a house without a plan as to run a
arm Without a plan, and the plan must
nclnde improvement in fertility as well
is in annual chopping. I think one of
he great failures in' American farming
s lack of system and an orderly way of
loing things. Every man on his farm
hould think at least a month ahead and
'Ot ready, and it would be better if he
ould think a year ahead, but woe to
he man that simply does what every
lay brings to his hand. He is always
n trouble and short-handed, and someiow
things happen to him and the
hings that happen are on the wrong
