Clarke Farm Bureau Has Adopted
Comprehensive Program for Year
1922; To Complete Cotton Pool
The subject of farm manage
ment occupied the attention of the
Clarke County Farm Bureau at
its regular weekly meeting at the
court house Tuesday afternoon,
when Mr. E. C. Westbrook, of the
Agricultural College,' was the
principal speaker.
Mr. Westbrook emphasized the
necessity of fanners in this sec
tion keeping an accurate record of
Jieir farming operations this year,
asserting that *U information and
data bearing on their experiences
luring 1922 will prove of inestim
able value to them when they be-
fin to plan next year’s crops. With
the changed conditions necessitat
ed by the advent of the boll weevil,
Mr. Westbrook said that farmers
ire conducting their affairs this
year differently than heretofore
tpd that if records of their opera
ions are carefully kept, the mis
takes which are made this year
nay be avoided next year,
CROP SELECTION
IMPORTANT
He thought this particularly ap
plicable to the selection of such
. rop3 as will enable farmers to
keep their labor busy throughout
.he season, without having sever-,
al different crops needing attention
at the same time with the evident
impossibility of all of them getting
it and thus causing iolse*. He said
that labor, under the changed con
ditions, will necessarily be more
or less green, inasmuch as cotton
acreage is being curtailed and
new money crops substituted such
as potatoes, peanuts and peas, etc.,
and that planters should group
such crops as will not conflict with
each other in their cultivation and
harvesting.
- Mr. Westbrook distributed to
those present record books con
taining a page for each month in
the year on which the farmer may
enter an accurate record of the
amount of labor—human and ani
mal—that is required i nthe mak
ing of every .crop he produces dur
ing the year.
MEET AGAIN
SATURDAY.
Following Mr. Westbrook’s talk
there waa a round table discussion
of various agricultural subjects.
Chairman Claude Tuck stated that
excellent progress is being made in
