BURSTING BARN'S More barn space will have to be provided for the hay crop. Larger cribs will have to be built for the corn, j New storehouses will be required to store the harvested products. A great year indeed is this for the man "who feels us all." Yesterday's government crop n-1 tort indicated a total yield ot wheat vise the sowing of these craps in cot-?f MO.OUO.OOO bu)li. The total yield ton at the last working. We belie that in practically all cases, especial ly in the southern two-thirds of th" Cotton Belt, these crops do better sown immediately after first picking. There are objections offered to the sowing of cowpeas in corn and of any of these winter-growing cover crops in cotton. When the corn is heavy, planted as thick as it should be ci good land and cultivated as late as a dry season demands, it is apt to be so thick that cowpeas will make little growth. Fortunately such lands needs the cowpeas less, but they will make srrowth enough in any cornfield to pay for sowing. On lands where cotton grows large and late and is usually planted thick er than it should be, the same ob jections are made to sowing any crop in cotton. Cotton so thick that crim son clover, but clover, oats and rye cannot ue sown after the first pick ing, has been allowed o stand too thick for the best cotton yield. It appears, therefore, " from the ioregoing, mat about the onlv crop to be generally sowed in the corn when laid by is cowpeas, and th there is no suitable crop for 'owing at the last working of cotton. The ob- versations of the writer support that statement. In sowing cowpeas in corn I be ieve they should be sown broadcast and an abundance of seed used. Thev are usually sown in corn to be grazed plowed under for improving the soil and my observation is they make larger growth as a whole when sown thick and broadcast. Progres sive r aimer, IRISH POTATOES. This is from Alabama: "I want to plant an acre in Irish potatoes now, and have a very good piece of bottom land, which was in oats and peas last year, and in oats this year, all crops being removed. What is the best va riety to plant now? Please advise to preparation, fertilization and planting these." The land snould be deeply broken and well pulverized. Then run out deep furrows by going twice in the furrow, and apply 500 pounds an acre in the furrows of a good high-grade fertilizer. Here where I live we have sandy soil and I use a fertilizer made here that runs 2 per cent am monia, 8 per cent phosphoric acid and 10 per cent potash, in your section I would assume that a good 4-8-4 ready made fertilizer will answer better. Put the fertilizer in and mix it with the soil, either with a bull tongue or by dragging a log through the fur rows. Make the furrows three feet apart and plant the potatoes, cut to two eyes, 15 inches apajj in. the rows. cover rather liehtlv at first and as they grow work the soil to them till level, and then cultivate level and shallow, the object at this season be ing to conserve moisture by getting the potatoes deep in the ground and keeping a dust mulch on the surface. I always hill up early potatoes, but never late ones, as the hill would dry out nd you would lose the mo ture needed. 1 plant the Sir Walter Raleigh, but many her plant the Green Mountain and tne Hoosier. All of these are good. Do not plant be fore the middle of the month Pro gressive Farmer. Send your job printing to The Courier. LIVE STOCK SECTION That the South enjoys advantage which are such as to make it a great live stock section of this country is hardly a matter to be denied, and with the other states of the South North Carolina has such advantages should make it an industry of great profit and value. Individual cases show that this view can be demon strated as coirect, and our view is that conditions in North Carolina are ideal for making it the place of a great live stock industry. I here are conditions to be met which have acted as handicaps. The Progressive farmer believes the three most important reasons why the South does not produce more live stock are cotton, the negro and the large number of gentlemen farmers who do not live on their farms, but lo farming on a large scale. "In short." it says, "the Jsouth has not largely developed a live stock industry be cause conditions have not been suited to the development of live stock men." Our need, then, is for men who will study the live stock industry and en ter into it as a regular part of their farming operations. All the condi tions of climate and soil are such as to promise Buccess. These conditions, or reasons why the South should raise live stock, are well summed up in the Pregressive farmer as follows: "1. Its long growing season, which makes the growing of two forage crops a year practicable, enabling it to produce forage cheaply. "2. It has a large number of le last vear was 71)3.380,000, while l:12 the total yield was 730,267,000 and in 1011 it was 021,338,000. The estimated total production rf oats this year is 1.2K!,000,000 which is considerably more than the crops of 1913 and ltui, although not quite up to the 1013 yield. Reports on rye, barley, hay, etc , shows big crops in sight and satisfac tory conditions. All of which means prosperity, spelled with big letters. The silly taik of hard times becomes ridiculous in the face of this glowing picture of bursting barns and bumper crops. The New York Herald is an inde pendent newspaper. Recently it car ried a letter from its Chicago corre spondent which the Philadelphia Rec ord reprints, with comment. The let ter pictures so well the real situation that we reprint an excerpt from it, which follows: "Western merchants, serene amid all the pes.-imitie clamor of months hail the wonderful story of wheat as the harbinger of still better things. Already doing a thriving business, they are looking forward to a big summer trade and a healthy expen sion of their activities in the fall. "It is not wheat alone that holds forth the rosy promise. The oats crop at this moment seems destined to go for beyond the billion-bushel mark. Never was there a finer outlook for hay. Corn is still in its infancy, but in acreage and seasonable conditions it presages results quite in keeping with those of its sister grains. There are manv sound reasons, said John V. Farwell, 'for my predic tion that this country is beginning to enter an era of prosperity greater than any in the past. The merchants have scarcely been touched by the seemingly adverse conditions of the last few months. Unusual crop pros pects and a better feeling in the agri cultural states are reported to us by all our travelers.' "'Millers, farmers, railroad men and Western bankers tell me the crop prospects are unprecedented,' said said George M. Reynolds, "resident of the Continental and Commercial Na-! tional Bank. The general business situation might be better, but it might also be vastly worse. Mer chandising is moving well and we most need to bring back confidences in industrial and commercial centres and relief for the railroads. Give them a chance for fair return, to make need ed improvements and extensions, and the steel and other industries will quickly show the effects. The whole country would benefit thereby.' "Little patience is entertained in this part - f the country toward those ' politicians who for manifest partizan j purposes are seeking to show that the country is far on the way to bow-1 wow land with demnition trimmings.'' True enough. The people of the country are not ignoramusses. When they hear professional politicians talk ing "hard times" and nredictinc finan cial ruin they know they are manu-1 factunng imaginative straw men with which to deceive the voters. Colonel Roosevelt's recent gloomy picture of national poverty and mis ery causes one to laugh when viewing the situation as it exists today, a side light being shown in the above picture of agricultural prosperity and plenty.
