The daughters gave less milk and fat than their dams. In every case, the daughter was inferior to her dam. The next bull used was Hugorotus, a cheap bull without any high Class animals in his pedigree.

At 20 cents a gallon this milk would be worth $11,069. These figures are accurate and certainly show the value of a good bull.

J. SMITH & SON Oldest and Best Jewelers Given a typical Piedmont farm, with its characteristic red clay soil, operating primarily as a cotton plan tation, what can be done with it? In other words, can this farm be chang ed over to a diversified proposition with profit and success? Many a land owner is confronted by just such a situation, and hence the topic is of general Interest. That an under taking ot this character can be suc cessfully accomplished has been clear ly demonstrated at the College farm at Athena. It has been the policy to reclaim a new area of land each year. Unsatisfactory crops are raised on much ot this land the first year or two after an attempt to reclaim it because of its eroded condition and its bad physical state. An increase in the herds ot live stock, thereby en abling larger amounts ot yard manure to be made available each year and its return to the soil, has resulted in improving the land and Increasing its crop-yielding powers. Three hundred and fifty acres of land are now under the plow. The farm had been abused for years It was without saUsfactory buildings or a suitable equipment of implements or live stock. It was determined at once to organize it on the basis of a stock farm, but without overlooking or neglecting the possibilities of cultivat ing cotton and the varied crops adapt ed to the soil and climatic conditions of the Piedmont area. Of necessity the equipment could only be slowly pur chased and assembled. The first un dertaking was to organize a small dairy herd and offer milk for sale. The re ceipts from the herd the first year amounted to $1,124,44, and the sales of live stock to $72.29. The value of the cotton and the cotton seed was $469.72, making a total turnover of the farm $1,799.37. This happened in the college year 1907-1908. Nine years la ter the sales from the dairy herd amounted to $6,700.41, showing steady and uniform increase through out the period in question. The sales of live stock increased from $72.29 to $3,056.02, showing an even greater in crease. The sales from cotton and cotton seed have varied somewhat ac cording to the season and the price of the staple. The first year thexrop brought $469.62, and in other years it has sold for as much as $1,S31.$3 The total receipts have varied fri H Jf £ s CD Ul rf o o F-b Pi P P z/i Ul e-t- QfQ aT tfi o r^ni $1,799.37 the first year to $11,002.69 in 1915-1916. The total receipts from the dairy herd in nine years have amounted to $43,768.21, from the sales of live stock to $13,377.95, and from the sales of cotton and cotton seed $10,- 819.68, making a total ot $69,572.99 for the nine-year period. No profit was made from the farm for the first three years because of the lack of equipment and the impover ished condition of the soil, but since 1910-1911 the receipts from the farm show a net return ot nearly $18,000.00 over the actual outlay. This must be regarded ns a satisfactory demonstra tion of the possibilities of building up worn-out plantation lands through the institution of a diversified farm prac tice in which live stock husbandry is strongly emphasized. Remember, that it was necessary to start in and re claim practically all the land now un der the plow, a considerable part of which had been thrown out for a number of years and It was, therefore, badly washed and eroded. A great variety of crops have been raised successfully. Cereals are grown each year and a crop of 2,000 to 3,000 bushels of oats obtained. Corn is rais ed in considerable quantity, the stover being used for roughage. Cowpeas and sorghum, oats and vetch, oats, rye and crimson clover, Sudan grass and other forage crops have been grown on considerable areas and cut and cured as hay. Kaffir corn and sorghum have been grown together and used primarily for the produc tion of silage, several hundred tons of which is made each year. Cow- peas have been used as soil builders and turned under whenever practica ble. A considerable area of land has been devoted to alfalfa which has been cut from four to five times year. A rotation of crops has been estab lished. Oats have been planted after cotton and corn and followed, rule, by cowpeas sown alone or in combination with some forage crop to be made into hay or turned under for soil improvement. Cotton and corn have been grown after cowpeas. A three-year rotation, including the four crops, has been the object kept in view. It is conservatively stated that the lands now under cultivation are worth $20 an acre more for agricultu ral purposes than when the work of improvement was first undertaken. > Ou 3^ w to o o ^1 0 3 . ai JU ^ 3 -il n-4 . y\ CD £| to Tl 31 O tr y\ K o' 3 * rf 3 5 9 CD | Q. 5) I & O »-* P M § o i—j • 8- i—•• O 3 til !3 1 > 13 > o* w o a 4 3 0Q *-d 3" O ft" O hj l-J O S3 3 O ct O 3 o h+i * >• > £f g S' S B- B a* w w $ FT) Ui - O 3 ef % CD CD i-t C/3 § o 3 . a- cd 3 CD O ri- ?? 3* w •— 33 cd o 9 3 o rt pr o C- o 3^ h-• e-t- 3“ >—* • rf >—r UJ a! ‘ C/3 o •"S O) PS 3 2 3 h- 1 o 2.
