Many sections of the Sta^ sxe
passing througii the most severe
drought they have ever e^cpen-
enced &t this season of the ye^.
Many of us, as we review rthe
farm operations of the |^t three
months, see where we have made
eoBtJy mistakes. We also see
where we hit the “bulPsreye,’
so to speak, and scored a success.
We have illustrations and demon
strations, or opportunities for ob
serving on the farms of others,
the causes of these successes and
mistakes. We should make care
ful! note of these and they will
serve us in good stead' in the
years to come. It: would be a
day well spent to take a day off
at this season and drive t^ver the
country and observe tjbe crops on
the different fields iatnd farms
along the way^ make inquiry as
to date and method of cultiva
tion, aud previous crops grown,
noting carefully the physical and
mechanical condition of j -^ch
field. In this way we cais get
interesting matter for disctission
at Union meetings, Alliance
meetings. Farmers' Club^, pic
nics and social gatherings. It is
thus that we can learn and teach
some most valuable lessons in
soil and crop manafement, and
thereby make our mistakes con-
tributary to our future success.
But the past, with all that it
teaches, is behjnd us; the imme
diate future engages our atten
tion: the harvest is yet; the crit
ical penod is just before us, and
we should try to avoid making
further mistakes. In the begin
ning of the season our minds and
thoughts were engaged principal
ly with the problem of proper
fertilization, in most instances,
methods of preparation and plant
ing received secondary consider
ation, Many of us die not reck
on with the problem of moisture,
but just took it for granted that
it would be forthcoming, and
herein we find the cause of some
of our mc«t costly mistakes.
Moisture is the most important
factor in the production of crops,
and methods by which wat^rraaiy
be stored in the subsoil and con
served for future use by’ the crops
should receive our most careful
consideration early in the season.
The planting season in many
^ctions.opened with less, water
in the suraoil than ever hefore,
and the rainfall in most places
since April 1st is below the aver
age for this period by several
inches. As a result, the soil is
unusually dry, and the soil water
unusually low for this season of-
the year. Anti, as already stated,
we are just entering the critical
period in the growth of the crop
-the stage of growth at which
most moisture is required to bring
to g^ fruitage and maturity.
With a normal rainfall the re-
maindjsr of the growing season it
will require our utmost skijJ to
produce a fair crop in many sec
tions, We will have to conserve
every particle of moisture possi
ble, and herein we need to be re
sourceful, and perform the work
in the most efficient manner. The
only thing to do is to cultivate.
Cultivate shallow, cultivate fre
quently. Avoid open furrows.
The man who takes a shovel plow,
or solid sweep and opens a ditch
on each side of the row,
as some- are now doing, is guiitj
of murder—the destruction of
plant life. Heelserapes, cotton
sweeps, harrows and cultivators,
set to run shallow, not over one
or two inches deep, are good im
plements to use in making a dust
mulch. Lay aside the Dixie and
shovel plow and thereby save the
crop. Make all possible haste to
stir the soil after a shower. Un
der present conditions it is im
perative that we do this; if we
do not, and a crust is allowed to
form and remain for a few days
the soil actully becomes drjer
than if no rain liad fallen, and
the crop suffers most severely.
We;should keep the cultivation
going even if no rain falls to
form a ciiist. In some instances
it may be better to run a drag or
a light roller constructed for the
purpose to break the crust or
compact the soil where too open
anid loose. Go over the crop ev
ery week or ten days; if allowed
to lie too long, injury will be done
by cultivation.
It behooves us as farmers to
study the situation, to stand by
our crops, seek advice from each
other and try not to let our crops
suffer through any mistake of
ours.
There is another thing that
should not escape our attention—
the scarcity and high price of
hay. Many farmers are now
paying $30 to $35 cash per tori,
and $^^5 to $40 on, time for timo
thy hay. The drought has cut
short the hay crop in the North
and West, and hay is going to be
scarce and high next winter and
spring.
for us yet igrow the hay and
forage that we will need. ^An
acre or two sowed or planted to
sorghum now, or any time in Ju
ly, and well fertilissed, will yiela
an a bundance of forage. Millet
can be sown, as also can
cow peas and soy beans, and n>
opportunity should be spsored to
grov/ an abundance of these crops
to pj!'Ovide ample supply of for
age for winter and spring.
In the fall, rye. winter oats,
wheat barley, crimson clover and
vetcii can and should be sown
for s pring crop of hay. Oat'and
wheit hay can be easily and
cheaply gi^wn, and is far super
rior to the best timothy hay. I
W5i recently saw a farmer pay
ing $35 per ton for hay, and we
wondered by what process of
reasoning he arrived at the coi^
elusion to grow cotton tobuy
instead of growing the hay hiin-
self. And as we ponder
thought of the remark of & ten-
year- old boy, who stood in a cot
ton field, leaning on his hoe han
dle, in the middle of an after
noon,. about the last of May,
watching a farmer driving by
with ten bales of hay on his wag
on. He had passed early in the
morning on his way to town and
was now on his way home. As
we drove by with the cultivator
the boy said, 'Papa, I have just
been thinking. If that nian had
gone out last fall with his team
and prepared half an acre of
land and sowed to oats and crim
son clover, and cut with mowing
machi ae this spring and put it in
the barn, it would not have taken
him longer to do this work than
he has been gone from home,for
this load of hay, and he would
have made as much or more hay,
too, ai^id could have saved the
money he paid for that load.”
Was the boy right?
Unless more than ordinary at
tention is paid to om’forage cro^
from now on, many farmers in
this State will buy hay next sum
mer at prices higher than they
have paid for it in inany years.
The hay crop out West, is short.
In fact, it is short everywhere^'
and we may ^'e^onably look for
exceptionally high prices forha^^i
next summer. B«gin now
prepare for the evil day. ^if'
your stubble land is too hard W
break with a plow, run a disk oi?
cutaway harrow over it at once
so as to form a mulch and stop
evaporation of the little wat^i'
remaining in the soil, Then when
the first rain falls prepare *nd
sow-at once with some ^rop for
hay. A failure on the part of
the fairmers of the State to at
tend to this now will result in
costly experience next summer.
