Bald there are farms that produce
corn 75, 100 and 125 bushels to the
acre; oats, 75, 80 and "YoObushels-to

The average crop inthe Southern
States of com laahofift it frahueU,
of oats 18 bushels, while that of cot

this low average yield when we have
the better- and -larger yields nn the_
bettor farifll. Some sfectlon? are pro
ducing fair crops but the farmers
are using a large amount -of com
mercial fertilizers and' they are in
creasing the quantity used each year.
The farrtfers. said Mr. Goodrich, haul
Way from the stores hay, meat and
other articles, which they co\ild and
should produce. Why -is this State
of affairs among our agriculturists?
The work of the farm centers around
one group of things, ' to-wit: the
plants. How many of us give the
