CROP DIVERSIFICATION
Th< necessity of diversifying crops In
1912 Is everywhere apparent. One of .he
largest cotton crops in the history of
the south was raised in 1911. As a recult
there baa been a great depression n
price; more so probably than the cir
cumstances warrant. The present •! u:.-
tion could easily have been obviated had
more attention been given to the culti
vation of a variety of crops and not so
much attention centered on the produc
tion of one. Thia sounds like a pla 1-
tude, an*. is such an old, old story that
it seems almost useless J mentlot it.
but circumstances justify again calling
it to public attention with special em
phasis, for until the fanners of the
south realise that their salvation, eco
nomically. depends on crop diversifica
tion. the greatest measure of prosperity
and success will not attend their effor*x
Crop diversification is needed in every
direction. The writer .is Informed that
several million dollars worth of canned
goods are brought into Georgia each
year, among which are such staple pro
ducts as oorn and tomatoes. The boys
corn elnu members have shown th*,
corn may bo grown tn Georgia as cheap
ly and successfully as anywhere, aid
that it offers a fair return per acre for
the farmer who cultivates It with sail!.
The girls have shown that tomatoes
may be grown at a good profit per acre
and successfully canned. If proper at
tention were given to trucking and to
the canning of fruits and vegetables a
supply sufficient for the needs of Geor
gia and a surplus for shipment to oth
er states could easily bo grown in 1912.
Our farmers would be infinitely better
off if they had turned a part of their
effort and attention in this direction in
1911 rather than to now be endeavor’ng
to buy uiese products produced in oth
er sections with low-priced cotton. As
a matter of fact, the home garden and
orchard have boon grievously neglr tod
and so the table has not been supplied
with many of the luxuries which nature
will furnish so lavishly given a lit
tle encouragement. It is not necea-siry
for the farmer to be dependent on the
city for his food supply; only a few
of the necessities should come there
from and only a few can come if he is to
become financially independent and a
prosperous and successful farmer. Out
side of sugar, coffee, spices and a few
other articles which cannot be grown
in the state, there is nothing which ne
should find it necessary to buy. At the
present writing on most of the city mar
kets in Georgia there Is a derth of win
ter vegetaoles of every description. Thase
can all b< produced with very little ef
fort either in the open ground or In
cold frames. They will occupy the at
tention of the farmer and his familv
during the fall and winter season, and
may be made a means of adding to the
weekly revenue of the iftme
Most of our farmers are not paying
much attention to live stock production;
yet this is a form of diversification
which will pay large dividends on any
farm where cotton has been the chief
crop raised. Beef is in good demand Md
the pries' rating st* Oil*.' Pork and pork
products are relatively high. Poultry
and eggs command good prices all the
year around. Butter and milk are not
made in sufficient quantity to supply the
local market of our smaller towns. Why
neglect these opportunities when an
abundance o( pasture for both winter
and summer may be bad by diversifying
the crops raised on the farm. Outside
of hauling cotton to town and exchang
ing it for the great variety of what we
now regard as the necessities of life the
average farmer has little to sell. As a
matter of fact, he should have a load
of produce quite as valuable and re
munerative to himself and family to dis
pose of each week. To do thW success
fully only requires a changed point of
view. It does not call for an elaborate
investment in miny implements and fer
tilisers. A modest beginning in live
stock can be made by thousands of our
farmers, and the natural Increase of the
herds and flocks will soon overpopulate
the land he may be able to devote to
pasture and the growth of grazing crops.
It has been shown over and over again
that milk and dairy products may be
>roduced very cheaply in Georgia; that
)ork may be raised almost exclusively on
treating crops; that com and hay may
Je bad in abundance; and that fruit and
Vegetables are easily ra'sed in great va
riety and profusion. Why, therefore, de
vote so much time and effort to the
cultivation of a single crop, and thus
place every fanner in the south the
mercy of the comparatively fevMlpdi
viduals who control and manipulate the
cotton market? Moreover, where diversi
fication is practiced, crop rotation be
comes essential, and through this medium
the fanning lands of the south may be
built up more rapidly than in any other
manner yet devised One crop in a ro
tation system acts as a supplement to the
other, and they may be so arranged
as to provide a succession and affqrd
some surplus material to market and
bring In a supply of money and
build up the land and develop a perma
nent agriculture at the same time. Stock
husbandry can never be developed where

one or two crops are grown exclusively.
Only where a variety of food products
for animals are raised can the business of
stock farming he organised and conducted
along profitable lines <Thts is one of the
most important reasons why crop diver
sification should be practiced on every
southern farm.
Now is the time to get ready for the
season of 1912. Let every farmer devise
a plan of operation for next year and
stick to it no matter what comes. Do
not be misled by the notion that the sea
son of 1912 may be very unfavoraole
and cotton again bring 15 cents. All
kinds of statements calculated to mis
lead the farmer will be circulated during
.the planting season. Remember, how
ever, that unless you are willing to cut
your cotton acreage and to stick to it
that you cannot expect your neighbor
to reduce his. The spirit of eo-opera
tlon among farmers has not developed
as rapidly and completely as it should.
The tendency to selfishness in crop grow
ing is strongly marked. There Is a de
sire on the part of many, in other words,
to have their neighbors cut down their
cotton acreage while they continue to
plant even *a larger crop than usual.
There is no money in producing 15-cent
cotton it two-thirds of the returns re
ceived from it have to be sent else
where to buy products which can set
ter and more cheaply be raised at home
and of course, all farmers realise iow
that with a relatively low price for cot
ton a very serious mistake was made
In not diversifying more extensively in
the season of 1911. As a matter of fact,
the south can only become prosperous
when our farmers regard cotton as a
surplus and not as their main crop, and
when thney come to understand that
•heir time and effort must, be directed o
wardg the problem of living off the land
exclusive of what they may obtain fr>n
cotton. If only a small part of the
ready money received for the cotton
crop could be saved each year, it would
do more to make cue south financially
independent and to bring permanent
prosperity to the farmers than anything
else which can be done. This is a mat
ter that is entirely in the hands of the
farmers themselves.
The facts set forth in this paper are
not new. They have been talked over
and discussed at thousands of farm 2-s’
meetings, but somehow or other tho
farmer has not taken these truths nome
with him and put them into pracu :e.
He realises the importance^of crop di
versification. He knows full well what
it means to him Individually and to his
friends and neighbors. The lesson- of
1911 has been a bitter one. Let us
hope that it has sunk in so deeply that
it will make a permanent and 'lasting
impression on the farm practice of the
south, not only for 1912 but for succeed
ing years, and that we may develop,
that measure of crop diversification
which is to bring to our homes many
luxuries and comforts, place on our mar
kets a variety- of food products whicn
have hitherto not been produced in *he
south, and bring financial independen.-e
to our farmers through making cott >n
in reality a surplus money crop.
HOW TO APPLY LIME TO LAND
A. 8., Augusta, Ga., writes: I want
to broadcast some lime on my farm
and wish to know how many pounds to
use the acre.
Where caustic lime is applied to. the
land, it is generally best to put on at
least one ton per acre. Ordinarily the
ground should be plowed before the
lime is applied. The lime should then
be pulverized grinding or handling
in any other Way which will result in
its being reduced to a fine powder ana
distributed uniformly over the lana.
Os course, there are lime spreaders and
these can be used to advantage where
the operation is to be carried on a
large scale. Ordinarily the lime may
be put in the wagon bed and distrib
uted by means of shovels throwing it
always to windward as a protection to
the men handling it and the animals
attached to the wagon. We have dis
tributed a good deal of lime through
the use of a -manure spreader. The
machine should be run slowly and a
layer of straw and trash put in the
bottom to keep the lime from working
through the slats of the caiTter ana
being distributed too rapidly. Caustic
lime is of course more expensive^than'
the finely ground rock and more un
pleasant to apply because of its biting
properties. It is the most active form
of lima however, and can be used to
advantage on soils which are In a baa
physical condition. It is best to put
it on several weeks before planting a
crop. It is well, however, to plant a
crop on it after its application ordi
narily because it may set free plant
food which may be washed or leached
from the land unless there is a grow
ing crop to take it up. 'Where finely
ground rock is used the best results
follow on land that is well sup
plied with vegetable matter. At least
two tons per acre should be applied.
It may be applied in the fall for crops

Postotnce receipts for this year will

If the fact were announced that sev

seem natural enough. But $1,000,000 for

i surprising.
It almost seems that a million dollars
would buy stamps enough to furnish
postage for all the letters the world will

existence. But that is before you con

It is much slower in its action than

desirable to secure a quantity of fine

DATA RELATIVE TO SUNBEAM
COTTON.
F. C. A., Atlanta, Ga., writes: I saw
the college exhibit at the corn show in
this city, and noticed about a ten-foot
section of a row of cotton mounted and
Incased. Being interested in cotton cul
ture, I would like some information con
cerning this particular variety of cotton.
, The cotton shown in the college ex
hibit at the Southern Corn show was
what is known as Sunbeam, and was
originated in the demonstration field of
this institution by our professor of cot
ton industry. This cotton produces a
very fine quality of lint of extra good
length and averaging from 41 to 43 per
cent IJnt. It is being selected and de
veloped with the idea of making it as re-r
distant as possible to anthracnose, which
does a very great deal of damage
throughout the state of Georgia. It has
been grown on oyr college farm now for
three seasons and has shown itself
strongly resistant to and
was grown on some 30 farms in Georgia
last season, and in practically all in
stances made a better yield than other
sorts with which it was compared, was
strongly resistant o anthracnose, and
was thought very highly of by all who
tested IL The college, as you prob
ably know, is carrying on -.extensive
work in hybridizing cotton plants for the
purpose of developing qualities in cer
tain standard strains superior to those
which they now possess, and more suc
cess has been obtained with Sunbeam
than any other variety of hybrids yet
produced.
There were shown in the ease to which
you refer a section of plants which grew
in a row 13 feet long. These were not
picked plants, but represent the aver
age of thousands which grew in our
demonstration field. The crop of Sun
beam cotton this year averaged three
500-pound bales of lint cotton to the acre.
There is a strong tendency to exhibit at
all fairs extra choice and heavily fruit
ed cotton plants. This 18,811 right in so
far as it goes, but these plants can not
be produced on a commercial scale. Tho
object of the college is to develop a
high average yielding power in all plants,
and to try and educate the public to see
that it is the good average plant which
makes the big yield and pot the fancy
plant grown solely for the purpose of
celling seed at exorbitant prices. Sun
beam cotton will be distributed in larger
quantities than ever next year to farm
ers in the order in which their applica
tions are received, and who agree to con
form to certain rules and regulations
concerning the growing and distribution
of the seed laid down by the college.
The object of this work on the part of
thd college is to assist in controlling and
eradicating a disease which now costs
Georgia $10,000,000 a year, and to give
the state a strain of cottoji superior in
many respects to a large number of the
varieties now cultivated.
COTTON SEED VS. COTTON MEAL,
si. D. L„ Atlanta, Ga., writes: What
is the relative value of cotton seed of
this year’s crop, and 1 1-2 per cent
cotton seed meal as a commercial fer
tilizer for corn, oats and cotton? 1
have been offered 1,500 pounds of 7 l->
per cent cotton seed meal for a ton of
seed and I do not know whether this
is a good proposition or not.
A ton of cotton seed contains ap
proximately 68.8 pounds of nitrogen.
21 pounds of phosphoric acid and 21. s
pounds of potash. A ton of high grade
meal, that is, running f. 5 per cent nil.
rogen, contains about 145 pounds of
nitrogen, SO.B pounds of phosphoric
acid at 4.5 cents and the potash at 5
cents would be worth approximately
$11.43 for fertilizing purposes. The
grade of meal to which you refer, how
ever, only contains about 6.18 per cent
of nitrogen or 123.6 pounds per ton,
and at 16 cents per pound this would
be worth about $19.77. The phosphoric
acid and potash contained in a ton of
meal of this grade would probably be
worth about $2.50 to $3.00. In other
words, this meal would be worth for
fertilizing purposes approximately
$23.00, allowing 16 cents a pound for
organic nitrogen. 1,500 pounds of this
grade of meal would contain approxi
mately $17.25 worth of plant food. A ,
ton of seed contains fertilizer worth
$11.43, leaving about $5.82 to pay for
the handling and hauling of the seeo.
Tha cost of this last operation will
be determined naturally by the dis
tance from the oil mill, condition of
roads, etc., and you can probably af
ford to make the exchange on the basis
mentioned, but you will not gain as
much by the transaction as you woulo
were the exchange basis of seed for
meal raised above 1,500 pounds. In
other worts If this situation confront
ed us we would be inclined to insist
on receiving more meal per ton of

,to the relative value of ground phos
phate rock and acid phosphate for Geor
gia soils.
The subject of your Inquiry Is one of
great concern to Georgia farmers, and
we are investigating the problem. Only
a little work has been done along this
line, however, and we cannot give you
definite advice as to the best method
of procedure at this time. From on a
year’s results In 'our demonstration
field, the following data were obtain
ed:
i
Six plat 8 were set aside. On three
no lime was applied; on the other three
lime was used at the rate of 2,000
pounds per acre. K On the first plat no
fertilizer was applied; to the second
plat 400 pounds of floats or ground
-ock were applied and to the third plat,
400 pounds of high-grade acid phos
phate. The yield of corn per acre with
no lime was 13. 36.8 and 88 bushels re
spectively.' With lime and fertilizer
the yield became 46, 57.6, and 61.8 bush
els respectively. It will thu s be seen
that lime was very beneficial on these
soils when used in the caustic form at
the rate of 2,000 pounds per acre. It
will be observed that there was a de
cided increase with and without lima
where 400 pounds of floats per acre
was applied, knd virtually the same in
crease under similar circumstances
where 400 pounds of acid phosphate was
used. In other words, the two mate
rials in this single test gave about the
same results. It would hardly be fair
to conclude from this that floats- Is
equivalent to acid phosphate, and in
our judgment where floats Is used, at
least twice aj much per acre should be
applied as where the acid Is used.
•In experiments made to date In oth

considerable quantity of organic matter

FERTILIZER SUITABLE FOR WIN
TER OATS-
T. M. P., Ocilla, Ga.,' writes: I wish
some advice In regard to fertilizing oats.
I am planting oats after a heavy crop
of cowpeas that was well matured be
fore cut for hay. What do you think
of using 40C pounds of a 10-4 fertilizer,
and top dressing In the spring with 75
or 100 pounds of nitrate of soda? How
much cotton seed meal would you ad
vise giving to a mare and colt? I have
a mare that does well fed on cotjon seed
meal and have been giving her and her
foal a small amount and have not seen
any bad effects.
Land which has been rotated and man
aged as described in your letter should
be In fair condition to produce a crop
of oats, and an application bf 400 pounds
of a 10-4 should answer very well, though
possibly the lateness of the season might
be ground for using 1 to 2 per cent of
nitrogen in an organic form to help
push the crop along. If your land Is very
sandy, I would suggest the use of 600
pounds of the 10-4 formula as peas make
rather a heavy draft on both phosphorus
and pdtash, and it will be well to put
a fairly liberal amount of these ele
ments In the soil for the oat crop. Your
plan of top dressing with nitrate of
soda In i.he spring Is to be commended.
This has proven a very satisfactory
method of practice In our own experi
ence and that of many other farmers
as well. Nitrate of soda seems to be ex
actly salttd to the oat crqp and Invig
orates and develops It act a season of
the year when it needs stimulation. One
application will often answer, though we
are Inclined to think that two light ap
plications will probably give you even
better results than one.
Not over two pounds per head per day
of cotton seed mtal should be fed to a
mare. This food stuff Is very concentrat
ed In nature, and If larger amounts are
used there is dange of surfeiting the
system with nitrogen and producing un
desirable effects of the digestive and
nervous systems of the horse. Cotton
seed meal should be given very sparingly
indeed to a foal under six months of
age, and in only small amounts until one
year of age.

PARENT OF 35
NEWYORK. Dec. 27.-The 35 separate]
companies which formerly composed the
Standard Oil company took up work
as individual entities today. While the
dissolution of the executive department
was accomplished on December 1, the gi-i
ganttc task of organizing operating
forces for the separate units of the old
"oil trust” was not completed until lastj
Saturday and this week they begin their 1
strife for business, deprived of all con-1
nectlon with their fond parent ’
The task of organizing operating forces
for each company was one-of the mosd
difficult that confronted the men In
charge of the work. In order to ac
complish it, hundreds of employes have
been shifted from one section of the
country to another. Under the old com
mission system it was possible to have
the needs of the entire group of compa
nies looked after In certain localities by
a single man or a small number of men.
Now each company must have its own of
ficial.
It will take some time to determine
whether the dissolution plan will bring
about the competition the government
hopes for. According to independent oil
men there has been no change in the
general situation thus far.
