More Cotton on Fewer Acres, and
More Time and Land for Other Crops
However unsatisfactory the cot
ton crop may have been in the last
> .
few years there is no question in my
mind that most farmers in the coun
ty must and will plant some cotton
and will have to depend on it for a
good part of their cash income.
The practical question for us is
how we may make the most profit
from the cotton crop and at the
same time produce the feed and
food that will be necessary to sup
ply our home needs. And this should
mean the supplies for all people and
all livestock living on the land.
The first suggestion I would make
and it seems to me entirely practi
cal is, after we have reserved the
land that is necessary to produce the
home supplies that we should select
only such land for cotton as is cap
able of producing large yields of cot
ton. This may reduce our acreage
but will not reduce our net profits
and probably would not reduce our
production to any great extent for
production to any great extent for we
are cultivating a considerable acre
age in cotton that is producirfg very
low yields and if the time and ferti
lizer spent on this were concentrated

AND I DOESNT rtcL LIKE w
on a smaller acreage of really good
land we might produce as much or
more cotton on the smaller acreage.
I have in mind a tenant farmer who
in 1929 reduced his acreage from
40 acres to 22 acres and got four
more bales on the 22 than he got on
the 40.
Next I should say that the proper
preparation of your seed bed is an
important factor in producing a
profitable crop of cotton. Reduction
of your acreage should make it pos
sible to do a better job at this point.
The stand of cotton very frequently
is dependent upon a firm seed bed so
bt sure to take the necessary time
and effort to secure this. Cultivation
done before, planting is cheaper than
that done after the crop is up. In
spite of occasional exceptions it is
safer to plant shallow than to plant
deep especially if you plant early.
Your planting seed will have much
to do with your profits. The seed
should not only be of good germina
tion but should be uniform. It will
pay you to get seed of a variety that
is early, prolific and of good staple
and quality. I think that about one
inch staple will probably give you
best returns.,
In spite of the low price of cotton
THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
and comparatively high price of com
mercial fertilizers I believe it will'
pay to fertilize well such cotton as
you plant. I think we may somewhat
reduce the cost by reducing the
amount of phosphoric acid in the
fertilizers as suggested in my article
last week. Of course you should make
the best possible use of home made
manures.
Plant as early as you can after the
ground gets warm and cultivate as
rapidly as possible. Use every effort
to push your cotton forward as fast
as possible and watch for boll wee
vils, red spider and other pests and
diseases, so that you will be able to
cheek them at the start. It is just as
important to be on time in this mat
ter as it is in killing the grass.
I shall be glad to advise with you
about yo u r individual problems
either in my office or on your farms.
Make Use of What You Have
In times like these when cash
very scarce it is especially important
to make use of the resources and op
portunities that lie at your hand be
fore you spend money or effort for
something that may serve your pur
pose no better. Make use of what
you’ve got.
This idea is suggested to me by
the large number of small Burr Clo
ver patches scattered over the coun
ty. Burr clover may not be the best
of the winter legume crops though
some people are inclined to think so
but it is a good soil builder and it is
entirely practical to save your own
seed. It is also a heavy seed producer
and a small patch will furnish you
seed for a much larger area. It also
has the advantage, when saved in
the burr, of carrying plenty of inocu
lation of reseeding itself.
When the vines have matured and
died you can rake them off the patch
and rake up the seed in piles and
sack them for seeding other acreage.
There is no danger of getting them
all and the dirt you rake up with
them will make the inoculation that
much surer.
The surest way to get a stand is
to mix your seed with manure and
distribute this mixture over the field
to be seeded, dropping about a half
shovel full of manure and seed every
three feet in a pile. The clover will
usually cover the ground at least
thinly the first year and will leave a
good stand for the next year.
If the land is to be cultivated to
cotton or corn beds can be thrown
up leaving a balk with clover growing
on it till the seed are mature.
If there is no patch on your own
place probably some neighbor will
let you gather enough seed to get a
start without anj' cash expense. We
have the possibility in these clover
patches of seeding a large acreage to
a good winter legume without spend
ing any money.

TRANSFER OF PENSIONS
ALLOWED BY THE STATE
STATE PENSION COMMISSIONER
HUNT RULES THAT UNPAID
CLAIMS FOR 1930 AND 1931
MAY BE ASSIGNED
Atlanta, Ga. —Confederate vet
erans will be permitted to transfer
their claims against the state of
Georgia for $175 each on pensions
unpaid during 1930 and 1931, it was
announced Saturday by Judge J. J.
Hunt, state pension commissioner.
The transfer can be made to any
beneficiary the pensioner may de
sire.
Mr. Hunt said that the purpose
of the Pension Department in grant
ing such permission was to make it
possible for pensioners now aged and
feeble to obtain this sum of money
in advance, or its equivalent in up
keep, because many of them might
: not live to personally collect the back
pensions when such are made avail
able through legislative action.
“Georgia has sometimes been tar
dy,” Mr. Hunt said, “but she has
never finally repudiated any pay
ments which have been authorized
by statute and assumed in an ap
propriation act.
“I trust that the general assembly
at its session in the year 1933 will
make provision for the payment of
the balances for 1930 and 1931. In
the meantime many of these credi
tors of the state will have passed
away and will have obtained no ben
efit from their pensions in their life
time.
“It is expected and understood
that the county ordinaries will care
fully investigate each one of these
proposed tranactions and see to it
that each one is a bona fide appli
cation and that no imposition is
practiced by designing persons.”
Judge Hunt explained that veter
ans desiring to make such transfers
o! the money due them from the
state and unpaid must make the
transfer agreement in the presence
of the ordinary in order that the
person designated to receive the
monev when available may be able
to collect by receipting the pension
rolls of the county.
