Fana Majiementriii th Gult 1 Coast Country ($2 Prize Letter) WE .FARM about 200 acres and try ? .. .to rotate our crops so as to use each acre to the best advantage. We grow sweet potatoes for . the early suranier.marketr but-do"notT)lant sweet,,, potatoes on the same land more than one year, in three. The other two years we use corn and vel vet beans .very largely, with a few other crops to a limited extent and will try to show how we make these crops fit in. , ; This. year we had 45 acres planted in early sweet potatoes that we mar keted in July and August. As soon a the; Potatoes were dug, we turned a bunch of hogs in this field to pick up the sweet potatoes that we left. A considerable growth of potato vines and Mexican clover was rnad and we turned the dairy cattle injhis field also; in order td'eonsume this growth. A few acres of Uwarf Essex rape was planted where the sweet potatoes were, or winter grazing for registered sows and pigs.' We:also planted a lew acres of late Irish po tatoes after the early sweet potatoes. A temporary fence will be run across the field to fence off the rape for win ter grazing. The balance of the land planted to early sweet potatoes was planted in oats during Octdber for winter, graz ing, and about 20 acres of this will be allowed to mature oats for seed. The balance of thisground will be planted in Irish potatoes in February. The 20 acres of oat land where the oats are allowed to mature will be planted broadcasHn peas as soonlas the oats are cut for hay. This year we. made 3t) bushels of oats to the acre, and V2 tons of peavine hay, without fertilizer for either crop. We .planted all of our peas and oats with a two-horse disk grain drill, and saved 25 per cent in the cost of seed, and get a much more uniform stand. We have 100 acres planted in corn and velvet beans. Two rows of corn are planted three feet eight inches apart, with a two-row corn drill, and a disk marker is used in markings the next row, leaving a. space of six feet, in which space we plant a row of vel vet beans, four to six weeks after the corn is planted. The corn gets two applications of fertilizer, 150 pounds of cottonseed meal and phosphate mixed, one to two, at time of plant-: ing, and the same quantity applied between the two corn rows when the corn is about 12 inches high. We get an average of40 to 60 bushels of corn per acre, and a ton of velvet beans in the pod. When the corn is ' sufficiently matured, we husk it in the field, and make two grades of it, one 'for seed and the other for feeding. We arrange to have corn and beans in three different fields, or else use temporary, fences. We allow our dairy cattle to have the use of these fields just a few weeks in advance of bur beef cattle. This practice is all right where grades are used. Hogs ; are also allowed the run of these fiehjs at the same time the cattle are allowed the use of them. As soon as the first field is suffi ciently grazed off, we disk it with a tractor, using a double-action disk, and the ground is immediately plowed with a 16-inch turning plow, using three mules to each plow. We use this plow instead of having four, mules to a riding plow, with two b6t toms, as "toe can plow the ground a little deeper. This plowing is usually done after Christmas,, on account of the grazing. 'Unless we have a great deal of rain, after the ground is plow ed, disking with the tractor will be sufficient, although sometimes we find it necessary to plow the ground again before planting, in order to get-the best seed bed. l t.
