We should begin to thing about where we are to replace heni. Grow an all year round garden as near as po.<*?ible including the follow ing truck crops; sufficient for the family needs and a surplus for the markets. Strawberries, Rasberries.

Each beef cow will reqfuire 15 bushels com and a ton and a half (rood hay. supplemented with 2 acres summer and one acre winter pasture ol the above mentioned pasture miy ture. We also recommend that all an ^niak on the faim he bred to pure blood sires. Keep 100 laying ner.s on The i raised from higt> oroducm ucK- :s in order that poultry and eggs j m-y be produced at a profit, J* ,s advisable to stint baby chicks at proper tii.n? :?> house them in practical house-. ;.nd prac tice proper sanitation and enre.

If not practical to raise fetAi itse a ?ood commercial feed, but only where you can not raise it profitable. The following mixture should be used. 100 lbs corn meal, 80 lbs ?0 lbs wheat middlings. 80 lbs j srrount oats, 80 lbs fh-h or bone ! meal, 40 lbs wheat bran and 4 lbs salt. Also feed daily four to five Quarts of equal parts cracked corn and whole wheat as a scratch feed in deep litter to each 100 hens. Produce sufficient pork for the family needs and one or more to sell the first of May and September of eac?\ year. The feed required to care for a brood sow and her two litters for a year is 150 bushels %of com and an acre of good clover, rape or vetch pasture. Grow one of the following crops for a cash crop. Tobacco, (one acre only. Burley either Kelley's early on Judy's pride). Potatoes, (Irish Cobbler or Green Mountain), cabbage, tomatoes one to two aores , Beans, one to two acres. ! Have a small orchard on every j farm for home use. one acre proper- j ly cared for by correct pruning, spray inp: and fertilizing: is more profitable than fifteen not cared for. Grow vetch, clover, rye or some other good cover crop on all your cultivated landF. By so doing you are able to care for a small flock of sheep through the winter months. With this for winter pasture you can care for your flock with 400 tbs ffood ha* and 50 Tbs shelled corn per ewe. / Our county tax "books show 482 head of sheep v-v * ' 71212,00, it also shows C." \ at $1203, **0, and 1 ' >*alue a; This uo; ' be. 'ta f? .v shec.? J set what they will <fo for you as a. money crop and also as a land builder. Plant all waste lands in something that will hoki the land from erosion ami begin to bring it back to a state of cultivation. Kudzu is a wonder ful plant for this purpose, and" is not so expensive. There is now ?ome being grown in the countv success fully. Sow at least one acre in lespedeza this year. This is one of the best (legumes that can be grown or the farm. It will make your rich land better and your poor kind rich, and grow a hay crop at the came *nr.e. This is a plant that will prow with out lime, but will grow better with j it. You can secure *eed for $4.00 per bushel and this will sow one acre, j Lime every acre of that you - bit I j this year and then the san?t: again ; next. Now the time to do this as we can secure all the lim?? we will | use in the county at $1.50 per ton. You can use from one to thr?e tons per acre. Buy fertilizer best suiteJ to the crop to be grown. Many collars are spent with no returns owin* to the fact that the fertilizer bought *as not suite-d to the crop being grown. For most of tihe above mentioned truck and garden crops we recomm end teh use of 400 lbs 8-4-4 per acre. In some cases such as Irish potatoes we would recommend to use the same but apply as inu? h as 800 lbs per acre. We recommend that boys and girls wishing to make some money for them selves join one or more of the agricultrual 4 II. clubs. We recommend that the farmers of the county hold some farm*, s picnics this season and get together and see what the man next door is doing? We recommend that you plant and grow a yellow variety of. corn for the above mentioned feeds. Take better care of the farm wood lot and your timbered lands. Cut all fire wood for home use and market from dead, crippled, di leas ed of over crowdedtrees. Market all chestnut timber both dead and alive as fafct as possible., into lumber, poles or acid woo*!. Leave ami protect seed trees, especially yellow poplar and white pine and any other pine of com mercial value. Plant black lucust on eroding lands, especially in pastures. Plant Black walnut on every farm in deep rich soil, on creek banks, in fence corners and all waste places We suggest that every family get a copy ot this and save it to refer i to from time to time. Cut out this i-opy and save it. If every farmer in the county will j follow these timely suggestions we nre sure that we as a county and as I individuals will be greatly benefit | i*d by doing so. This is something ? that every farmer can do in the near ? *Vture and we are sure that there | will not be a person that will not do his or her part. If we will unt this program over ; In Cherokee County we feel that we ! have a live at home program one ' hundred nercent. CHEROKEE COUNTY FARM BOARD G. Wavne Walker, Chairman. N. W. Abernathy.
