TELLS VALUE OF 1" FORAGE CROPS (By f. p. Latham) The lack of adequate forag* pro duction in the Booth, of both rough ace and grate, is the most serious Impediment la our advance to the ylaoe to which our aoU and climate ea title# ai Probably there la no other contributing factor ao much responsible (or the nervous, unstable business conditions pi the Cotton Belt than the non-attention to pro vender crops. Without forage and Its attending products the Bouth as a whole Is In very much the same fix as a man with no root on his house, ? it becomes alsrmed and panicky upon the slightest indication of storm, even though the rumble tie thousands of miles awsy. We have yet In our minds a very forcible Illustration of the damaging effect of such periods in our com mercial life, and I hazard the guess that a* a whole the 1914 cottoa crop was marketed with less profit than any previous one in a decade. This condition was caused largely to the non-production and subsequent pur chases of large Quantities of forage. There are certain conditions under which figures mislead. Experience has taught a great number of far mers that it is easy by certain meth ods of calculation to prove that more provender can be bought with the net profits realised from an .acre cul tivated in cotton than the same acre would produce in forage crops; yet cold facts are the final* conrfneing Xacters in any contention, and a ref erence to realities Is always accepted as proof. To those who cling to this belief I am go!n^ to suggest that you take a careful mental Inventory of the visible results attained, and actual possessions of any two farmers with in your knowledge, who began farm Tito under similar circumstances, who were esual in intelligence, thrift, and ability, oen to be an all-cotton farmer, the other, one who provides ample forage and produces cotton us a surplus. If you have not prevlous ty done this, probably a surprise a walta you. I have found the latter type farmer In all cases less con cerned In the ups and downs of the market, and his condition approach ?4 more nearly what we cherish as farm life. Cotton Is essentially tbe South's surplus or money crop, and every pound that goes Into the purchase of forage lends Its aid to tl:? d prising influences which op erate aguiuat adeiiaate values for this commodity. ?. The essential purpose of any for age crop Is the production of feed units. TtaM m assimilated In dif ferent proportions by various plants from th? atmosphere and tolL All plant food* taken direct from the ?oil lessen Its productive capacity Just that amount The nit roc en as similated by certain leguminous plants from the air Is transformed by them Into -valuable animal feeds without drawing heavily on the soil .supply of this element. I know of no plant that extracts more qj Its composition from the in visible wealth about us than the soy bean. Nor do I know another plant that fills the numerous forage re quirements of the Southern farmer as perfectly as It does. As a pro ducer of hay tls yield per acre of a | high-class article Is equal t6 that of any of our recognized hay plants. Itj possesses the added advantage over] many other crops of being a credi-J table grain yiclder. It can be relied on to produce a similar yield to that of corn on lands of like fertility. By laboratory test and subsequent feed ing experiments, the hay has proved practically equal to alfalfa, a feed I recognised as being In the "A" clans of American provender. The grain j contains much higher feeding value than corn: In fact, the digestible con tents are highei; than cottonseed meal. The plant becomes of further value to our "catchy and shifty methods" of farming, in that it requires little previous planning to gather 8oma~o? the benefits derived therefrom. I am ' not saying thai It will not respond readily to good treatment, for It will; it also has the knack of coming back and making good after receiving set-backs that would put a less hardy plant entirely out of business. It Is turthor possessed of a wonder ful capacity for adjustment. It can be wedged In all over the farm, once the habit la formed. Dril'.ed or broadcasted after wheat or oats, It gets busy and makes a valuable sec ond crop. Planted In corn In June, it utilizes the time of the land from corn maturity to near frost, with out lessening the yield of the latter. From this catch crop sowed at the laftt working of corn and peanuts, filling broken places In cotton, sow ed In Idle places that would other wise be covered by weeds, the writer lias succeeded In sailing from 500 to 1,000 pounds of pork per horse ualt from his farm each year, after cur ing a sufficiency tor home consump tion. I do not claim that soys are entirely responsible for this, but It Is a significant fact that these con ditions never pre\ ailed prior to the Introduction of thia plant on the farm.
