FERTILITY REMAINS
When Butter Crop Is
Used to Bring Nec
essary Money
(By G. A. Caldwell,)
Agricultural and Industrial Agent, At
lantic Coast Line Railroad Co.
"Adversity is the first path U
truth."—Byron.
This is eighth ariic e of th
"Prosperity Follows the Dairy Caw
series, aud, discusses the impoitanci
of dairying in connection with soL
fertility.
The city girl was right when, li
her essay oil butter, she said: "Bu.-
ter takes from a farm lea fertilitj
than any other crop, and it woult
take less than it does if milkers weie
not so careless."
Every ton of core worth approxi
mately $20.00 whi«-h is sold off the
farm, takas witih it $6.50 worth t
fertiity when sold and removed from
the farm. Every ton of beef worth
at present high prices about $175.0t
removes $17.00 worth of richnes:
from the soil.
Every ton of butter fat, sold in
cream, worth on an average of s*>
to $1,200 takes with it only 49 cent
worth of soil fertiliity.
The feed, required to produce a toi
of butter fat which remove* only 4!
cents worth of fertility, if sold fion.
the farm removes S4OO worth of fer
tility!
When looking over the
past-few years when crop values were
leas than production costs—when far
mers had to borrow for the necessi
ties of life—when the almost un
heard of bankruptcy among famieit
was more or less frequent, think fo
a moment what it would have meant
to your community had.you been sav
ing the fertility of your soil all these
JMMfc ' ■ -»-»■ -■ -
Anyone in doubt ae to the value of
diversified agriculture based on the
c»'W, the pig #nd the Jien ils com
pared to one crop farming should vis
it a community of farmers who have
in the past been milking cows—sell
ing ere.till —growing livestock and sav
ing and building .soil fertility. Thei

Hiid farmer* of any community wher.
cow milking Is not adjunct to the reg
ular faim work. Pessimism has n
foothold in the community where t
steady flow of income has been un
checked by far readjustments.
Every year land which provides foi
the good milk cow grows richer whi'e
lands devoted exclusively to laisii.)
and marketing crops in their raw
state, grows leas productive. Whei
the crop is piarketpd fertility is sold
when cream is marketed, wind am
sunshine are sold.
E. G. Uennett, dairy commi»ioner
of the state of Missouri, in J»nuar\
of this year, said:
"The average yield of field crop;
is always higher in the well (level
oped dairy comities than in thos
where littie dairying is done.
"A specific instance of what ban
yard manure will (jo in the Ozark sec
tjon is the experience of Hosmer an-
Son in Webster county. Whey the
bought their farm near Marshfiel
the county seat, it was found thei
land would produce but ten bushels of
corn per acre. A herd of good cow
was placed on this farm and within
ten years this same l(»nd was produc
ing from seventy five to eighty bush
els per aere and some small field*
yielded up to one hundred bushel:
per acre. The fertility of the soil in
this instance was increased by the ap
plication of barnyard manure."
The experience of Bruno Glaubit7
of liogersville is quite similar to tha
of the Hosmers. Mr. Glaubitz ha.-
harvested thirty two busfiels of when*
and seventy five bushels pf eorn am 4
attributes his largo yields to barnyard
manure from his herd of milk cows.
Since ttie truth is so evident that
dairying does build fertility, since th«
facts are eo plii.'n that every yrai
lands are being depleted of their fer
tility where diversified farming baser
pn dairying is not bping practiced, it
certainty behooves every citizen o xe
behind any movement far Introduc
ing the dairy cow. No farm is sc
poor or unprofitable that it cannot be
made into a profitable farm by tlx
introduction of the cow, and no fanr
pays so well or h no fertile that i«
cannot be iqade more fertile and mor
profitable with the *id of the goo

BANKS OF SECTION
TO ASSIST FARMER
TO GROW PASTURE
Permanent Pasture Ad
vocated Now Made
Possible To All
Mr. H. B. Thompson of Washing
ton has inaugurated a movement to
stimulate permanent pastures in Mar
tin and Beaufort counties, with the
cooperation of the following banks:
Farmers and Merchants Bank, Wil
liam-ton; Planters and Merchants
Bank, Kveretts, and the First Nation
al Bank of Washiagtou-
This is a movemeni that has been
urged by all orgaaiaztions that have
Uken an interest in farmers' welfare
and deserves all the puth and urging
that it haa received and will receive.
The government has spent several
thousand dollars during the past few
years in this .-ection furthering this
one phase of faming, and the result
has been that numbers of fanners win
were is dire circumstances before the
movement was inaugurated, are today
possessors of hire bank accounts, with
no outstanding obligations to morry
about.
Matin county is considerably be
hind the average county in this line,
and the farmers have an opportunity
to better themselves by getting i.
touch with the neaest bank cooper
■ting with Mr. Thomson in this
movement, and make arrangements to
install a permanent pasture ami reap
the benefits.

this fall an athletic association for
both the boys and giris. Every hirh
school pupit, interested in athletics*,-
will be urged to join lbe**- associa
tions. Let every girl and boy try for
the team and if this is true. Oak City
will have winning team th»* year.
The greatest thing ■■ athletes aside
from the physical traininr it gives,
is the spirit in which it is played.
I lay the game to win. it is true;
hut while playing, play for the - ake
of the game. To win a raar honestly
is the ftnest Ihfmr In the wH tat
to win a game dishonestly is not on
ly a discredit to the school but it for
ever injures the morale of the team.
j This fall we will have two basket
I hall court,- f»r the kfk orhool. which -
'will be in readiness shortly after tbr
opening of the i-cfcool Prom all re
ports last year, the r«U had a tee
team and it is hoped that the perf—
el of this year's team will IK ooly
mevurr up t«. hut will >urpaa« last
year's team.
The boys will have to bu.tle if they
expect to et t ahead of the rrt" when
it coiner to playing bucket halL How
ever, we have the material xM with
the proper coaching 1 am sune llicj
will be al>le to put out a team which
will be a credit to Oak City high
school.
I am vt'rv mikh iiteiested in ath
letics myself and expect to Hfsist
Profes.-or iii»lev in c«aKiif the ath
letic teams this year. However, we
ran accomplish aotlui.g without your
-ooperation atul assistance. The high
chiol is yours and what I'll make
of it will «leterm»ne m a large meas
ure its sueces.- ami growth.
We hope this year to ha«e a high
school second too one in Martin coun
ty, but while we are working for the
success of our school in a general
way, let's put Oak City on the map
so far as athletics is concerned
We hope to have the opportunity
of playing all other high schools ia
the roust y and other teams from the
nearby towns. A jehednle will be
arranged in the near future for both
the girls' and the boys" teams.
