Crop Rotation
(County Agent)
On Thursday February 26, Mr.
B. C. Blair, State Agronomist,
visited five farmers in Franklin
County, and discussed crop rota
tions with them. He requested
farmers In the County to combine
many of their small fields into
from three to six large fields, and
alternate them with the following
three crops, cotton, corn and
grain. This system will give the
farmers an opportunity to con
tinue Improving the farm by hav
ing a cover crop to plow under
once out of every three years. He
recommended that the county in
crease the broadcast grain crops
to control erosion on the steep
hillsides. He left the tobacco land
out of the crop rotation where a
different rotation system was de
sired by the farmers where to
bacco was to be grown. The fol
lowing is a list of the farmers
visited: A. T. Howell, T. W.
Boone, T. H. Weldon, J. D. New-)
man, and H. F. Mitchell. These
farmers are cooperating in rota
tion work either with the exten
sion service or the soil conserva
tion service or both.
The week of February 24 was
the first week in Franklin County
since the week of December !>,
in which we did not have rain or
snow. During this week practical-!
ly all tobacco plant beds were
sown. With warm sunny weather
and good wind the soil has dried
out and some farm plowing has
begun, it being the first time
since the week of December 9
that work could be done in the
field.
The terracing outfit began work
Saturday. This was the first time
since the week of December 9.
Requests for wftrk are fur in
excess of available time in which
to do It. If the demand continues
to increase, an additional outfit
will be essential to meet the de
mands.
Strawberries look promising in
Columbus County and the grow-t
ers have begun to fertilize an.l
mulch their plants.

MULES! MULES!
TO THE FARMERS OF FRANKLIN
AND ADJOINING COUNTIES
In fact, my old customers and their sons ! After an absence of 17
years, I have decided to go bry k in the Mule business in Louisburg.
I have rented the warehouse next to the picture show, in front of the
Postoffice. Expect to carry 50 head of Mules and Horses, sound,
young, fit, broke and ready to go. Every one sold under a guarantee.
Terms, which is the milk in the cocoanut, Cash, or half Cash. I have
bought a brand new truck and will deliver them anywhere within 40
or 50 miles. Mr. Edward Southall is my representative and will be
in charge of these stables, as I will not be there all the time, owing to
other interests. Any and all trades he makes guaranteed by me.
Will appreciate a visit, if you will look these mules and horses over,
which are expected to arrive some time during next week and if you
need any, Buy before they are picked over.
K. P. HILL!
