Livestock in South
Mast Hot' 4* More fori#
With the limitation cn the serf
age devoted to cash crops, farmers
and farm leaders in the South are
devoting increating interest to live
stock. It is realized, however, that
there can never be a 'very great
increase in the number of animals
on farms in the southern states
until more feed crops are produced.
And since reliance is placed prin
cipally upon corn for feeding cat
tle and hogs, this means that the
yieldi per acre of this crop must
be Increased if livestock are to be
produced economically.
The growing of corn in the
southern states has never been
given the proper attention and the
result is that yields are very poor.
The average yield of 12 to 15 bush
els is so low that com is grown at
a loss on mrr.y fr.rms. Under suih
conditions there is no opportunity
for an expansion of livestock and in
msny cases vhe'arimals airtndy on
farms are inadequately fed.
The cost per acre of producing
high yields of good corn or low
yields of poor corn is about the
same. Higher yields are necessary
to make a profit, and by practicing
good cultural methods more corn
can be produced on 5 n< nt than in
many instances is now being made
on 10 to 16 acres.
Careful work by experiment sta
tions throughout the south haa
shown that by following aofl fan
! proveme nl methods and using more
and better balanced fertilizers,
much higher yields can be obtained.
This has been confirmed by numer
ous tests and demonstrations.
The amounts and kind of fertil
izer to use for corn will depend on
the soil, previous treatment, and
the cropping system followed. A
good practice is to use the regular
cotton fertilizer on corn, hut it it
not always necessary to use as
much per acre. If heavy cropi of
winter legumes or other legumin
ous crops have been grown on the
anas to tie planted to corn, addi
tional nitrogen may not be needed.
It is important, however, to apply
phosphorus and potash to correct
the deficiency of these elements in
the soil and to balance the high
nitrogen conUnt supplied by the
legume crop.
In casts where insufficient
amounts of potash and nitrogen
were used at planting, either or
both may be profitably applied as a
side-dresser. Muriate of potash
alone or in combination with nitro
gen makes an excellent side-dresser
for corn, or the popular 10-0-10
may b? used. I
The Alabama experiment sta
tion has found that extra bushels
of corn may be produced for 20
cent* per bMhel by proper fertilisa
tion.
