Mr. L. F. Edwards Is a ‘conser
vative business man and has
closely studied farming conditions.
He saya after the trying time
thruugh' which we have passed,
.the tide has turned and If our
farmers are wise and are not lead
astray by the high price paid for
cotton, they are now on a safe
and Bure road to prosperity and
independence. But the danger he
sees ahead Is thqt. encouraged by
the thirty cents cotton that next
year, they will over-plant them
selves, and jf we have a rainy
season they wilr bo in * worse
condition than ever before. He re
ferred to the South Georgia farm
ers who have been making goo*
crops of cotton, and so hugged the
hallucination to tho*r bossoms
that they coujd whip the boll wee
vil. But they had a long rainy
spoil, weevils appeared In myrands.
and they have made a practical
failure of cotton. And this is the
danger that menaces fanners In
our own section: That next year
they will neglect food crops to
plant a large acreage In cotton
and if we have a rnfny set son they
will find themselves Just where
they were after the appearance cf
the boll weevil, and collapse
prices.
land grow -up In old field pines,
sow down In grain, followed by le-
gune crops, half of the remainder
and curt.VI the acreage In cotton,
using labor saving implements,
that In n few years we will more
than double the productiveness of
our fields an our farmers all be
be -prosperous and Independent.
We should devote especial atten
tion to cattle and -bogs, and buy
nothing that we can produce at
home.
And Mr. Edwards practices'll
his farming operations what he
preaches. He this year cYd not
plant over five acres In cofton to
the plow and grow, all manner of!
food crops. He says we can pro
duce In this section any known
crop except fruits of the tropics.
He has cattle, hogs, chickens,
turkeys, ducks, and everything
else that can be produced or raised
In Georgia.
Advises Sowing
Oats This Year
Mr,. Edwards says a farmer had
better make one bale of cotton at
thirty cent* per pound, than make
twenty bales that he must pay on
debts and probably sell at less
that cost of production. Next year,
instead of reducing their acreage
Incotton, better cut It to not ex
ceeding four or five acres to the
plow, armors will get more for a
small cro„' than a bumper crop,
and the food stuff they grow wfU
be a clear gain.
M<r. Edwards Is enthusiastic over
building up our soils 1>y legunc
crops and other means. He shows
us a field of some forty acres he
bought a few years ago. This lit
tle tract of land had been worked
by a negro renter, who averaged
about two bales of cotton and some
Our farmers should keep the
plows speeding and sow the land
left untilled last year in oats. This
is one of the cheapest to raise and
most profitable crot* we can grow
In thU section; and oats can be
followed by cow peas and sorghum
and two crops grown on the same
land *fn one year. An then don’t
forget that one bushel of oats
planted In the fall is worth two
bushels sowed after Christmas '
And the earlier you can get your I
oats in the ground the better, for
they then have time to take root
and a^e not so liable to be klllea
by freexea. Oats are not killed ly
cold w’eather but by tho land freez
ing and spewing up. the plants are
uprooted and die. This Is what one
of our most successful farmers tell

business-like thing to do. Simply

In the year to plant a crop, so he
broke up the ground* and laying It
off In rows dropped In them velvet
beans and corn. He did not ex
pect lo make any crop on this land,
and did not even plow It. But to
bis surprise he made a good corn
crop, that he gathered and he says
he never saw such a yield 1 of velvet
beans. Thi vines covered the
ground. He turned Hogs and cat

ing thdra plowed under the vines.
The next year he planted the field
In cotton and made a bale pet

a bale .per here until the boll wee

In corn and he will make around
thirty, bushels per acre. It Is today
one of ¥■ most productive fields.
Mr. Edwards says that nothing
builds up land,like velvet beans
and there..Is no trouble to grow
them.
