Most people now see that cotton may be destroyed by boll weevil and also the price is now looking down ward; also, that the price of seed is to be low this fall. Safe fanning in the future must be more diversified. Now is the time to begin. On every farm should be a few acres in oats. They should be in good land. Experi ments show that oats drilled in early part of October almost double the yield of those planted after Novem ber 15tli. They should be treated with formalin to prevent smut. I will be glad to show you or. tell you how to do this. They are good feed 1 for all farm animals. Cow peas or hay enough to pay the expense of the crop after the oats are harvested. It does not take much labor. I appeal to you to try a few acres. Rye, crimson clover, vetch will keep the winter rains from leading the plant food from the soil. Wheat will be needed. Begin right now and plan your crops so you can handlie the weevil in your cotton any year. As long as dwellings in cities are crowded you may be sure something to eat will be high. Only about forty per cent of the farms are owned by the people who live on them. Of the chil dren from ten to eighteen years old they will not average the 5th grade. You know cotton has made these con ditions. Why not change? Landlord and tneants, it is time for a change. W. N. D. DIXON, County Agent.
