DeLoarh in Atlanta Con stitution.! Most farmers in the cotton belt would do a great deal more fall plant lug If they knew how to do It without taking up too much time from cotton picking and other duties connected with harvest time. They are not nw tiling u pktnt crops in the falt'Thy" are, in fact, as anxious as can be to get the moat out of -the farms, but some how they cannot And the time to get the crop gathered and do much else. The present suggestion will be made for the purpose of showing that it does not take much time to do fall planting, except for such crops as al falfa. Canada Arid peas and the clov ers. For all winter grains It takes UP very 11ttta time, and K this fact is well established in the minds of the farm- ireiy " they-wtH nt' hesitate'to ' go ahead and plant winter grains, and make the old farm look green and prosperous this winter, despite the Kuropean war. Can we not go ahead and give life to our southern "system of farming? How those few animal that are scattered over the southern farms would thrive if they had a lit tle green for their winter menu! Suppose a farmer has ten acres he wlahea to sow in oats or wheat; wheat would be better, other things being equal, because it would afford food for cattle, horses and hogs In winter and for man all the year round. The first thing to do Is to level the ground aa well as practicable, harrow it over with disc harrow about three inches deep, and then follow with the plant er. Any kind of planter almost will do, only it always pays beet to plant as many rows at once aa possible. This Is one of the time-saving prac tices. A horse can pull a four-row drill as easily as he can a one-row drill, and will do four times aa much work as if he pulls only a one-drill harrow. It takes only a day and a half to harrow ten acres and do It very well. If it happens that a farmer wishes to plant grain where the corn is now planud. the first thing to do would to be to run over the corn stalks with stnlk cutter, and follow Immediate ly w Ith a harrow. The same will ap ply to the cotton land, and many far mere 'are planting cotton land this year in small grain. Hun over the green stalks If they happen to be green and cut them up. Follow the cutter Immediately withthe disc har row, and follow the harrow with the grain drill. The whole ten acres can be planted in wheat or oats in the short period of five or six days, and then you will he assured of a grain crop next spring. How simple this is In fact as well as in theory. 1'ld you know thai mora than 100. 960 farmers will do this In the pres ent fall In in the cotton States? Did you realise also that 50,0 ought to do so. and thereby make a very prosperous section nut of this sunny southland -of ours?. Did you know that the cotton habit has got ten you and me in trouble, and that we shall have to suffer till we de cide to u.se our lands for growing our' own foodstuffs? These are facts that cannot be denied and that everybody 1 nuw talking about. Where so many peoplo are telling vir tually the same thing there is bound to he great deal of truth In it. Kach person is trying to put people on to hi.- particular hobby, but all are united in the effort. to dethrone cot ton, partially, till we all get a new foothold. If It Is a question of time, follow the above suggestions and be gin now to change your method and you will be prosperous, while your iielKhbor will persistently stand in his own light by continuing the old one crop system with cotton- In other words, there is no time to quibble about the matter. Roll up your iletvas- aud -dive m, You are- oei lain to win in such an Important fight. We farmers have not yet realized that we can plant a very respectable winter garden before we could gather, cook and eat a pot of turnips. In fact, two or three hours hard work will insure us a garden for the en tire winter. What shall we plant ? Plant almost anything you 'lfke ex cept -beans, pens and such plants as are-easily-killed by frost. Ail of us certainly like tumlpa. 1 pollards, rab- .bage'. spinach, lettuce, radishes, chard. salsify, carrots, mustard aaiaa. neeia All these keep iand grow (ln the open during the fry1 winter. - It . IS warmer now thkn it Is lti spring, wheri we plant these1 thing, and yet we overlook the fact that they taste aa good 4n. the fall as they do In spring. l.et'8 all see if we cannot have a good garden this fall- For the past five years I have had In my own garden st this time pf year either ail or mast of the ahove -mentioned vegetables. Try It for yourself. Bow Long Dors It Take to Drive the Hon- to Pasture and Bavfc Kax'h Day? - Weit .this depends -on where the hogs are. and where the pasture is located. If we are planting wheat or vetch and rye. 'In some part of the farm a considerable distance from the usual hog range, we would say It would take a Utile time, but if the winter cover crops are located con veniently. It would take ten minutes to get them In.thf grain-the first day, and - fifteen tot get them out- After that it would take only about three minutes to set them In. but lb tint Thanksgi In Readv A store that's full of trust worthy styles for every member of, the Feminine Family.
