How Two Fanners Have Found A Good
Money Crop To Supplement Cotton
Hart county farmers, and farmers
everywhere, in fact, realize that they
must have more money now than
formerly,—more than they can make
on cotton alone.
They need it for educating their
children, for automobiles, which have
become a necessity almost, for clothes
for the church, —for everything.
Money must be had these days, and
the farmer is entitled to make more
of it.
The Southern Cultivator editor,
who is a farmer, tells of how two
South Carolina farmers are making
more money, alongside their cotton
crop, as follows:
“After twenty years of travel over
the cotton belt, and a close study of
our farmers’ problems, looking al
ways for the things which give in
dications of proving helpful to our
farmers, we have come to the con
clusion that the one greatest need in
the South, is for each individual far
mer to learn to grow one or more
cash crops to supplement his cotton.
While we all realize that cotton is the
chief money crop of the South, it is
not wise to depend upon it entirely.
The weather conditions, the menace
of the boll weevil, the danger of too
low a price, the cost of production
and the fact that it takes twelve
months to grow it —all render it too
hazardous to depend upon cotton as
the only money crop. We are always
glad to find any farmer who has
solved this great problem satisfac
torily for himself. We cannot tell
any farmer just what to do—his lo
cation, amount of land and labor are
all controlling factors in making this
decision. Also a farmer’s natural
taste and bent go a long way in de
ciding this matter. While in Laurens
county, South Carolina, we found
two good farmers who had worked
out this problem entirely satisfactori
ly to themselves. Mr. G. H. Belt, who
lives out west of Laurens, is recog
nized as one of Laurens’ best cotton
farmers. Still he makes money grow
ing grain—wheat and oats. He had
several hundred bushels of both of
these to sell for seed when we were
there. He is going to sow over 100
acres to oats right away. He says,
“I find that grain pays me in main
taining the proper system of farm
ing and it also pays me well as a
cash crop.” Then we went out to see
P. B. Bailey; he also plants a good
acreage in oats, and he has one of
the best pastures in South Carolina,
and takes a great interest in cattle,
sheep and hogs. He says hogs pay
him best and he grows fields of corn
and beans to be “hogged-off.” He
believes in letting his hogs do most
of their own feeding. Now with these
two farmers this is no new fad or
experiment. They have grown into
these lines, after years of practical
testing, and these side-lines have
proven a great value in enabling them
to get some clear cash out of their
cotton crops.

MAKE HENS LAY BETTER
Experiments during the past three
years at the State College have de
monstrated that artificial lights, used
properly, will greatly increase win
ter egg production and thereby in
crease profits.
By lengthening the day by the use
of light the hens are allowed time to
consume a greater amount of food
and therefore make more eggs.
There are three methods of using
light to make the day twelve to four
teen hours long, according to J. H.
Wood, professor of poultry hus
bandry at the State College and in
charge of the experiments with arti
ficial illumination. The first is to
turn on the lights at four a. m. and
allow them to remain on an hour.
The second method is use light from
six a. m. and keep them on in the
evening until eight o’clock. The third,
called “the evening lunch method,”
and which has proved the most popu
lar in the eastern states is to turn
the lights on at eight in the evening
and allow them to remain an hour.
At the College the first method
has been used, and it was found that
birds under light laid from thirty to
sixty per cent more than birds not
under light.
Prof. Wood advises the use of
lights on either pullets or hens when
the object is market eggs, but says
they should not be used on breeders
until the breeding season, and they
are not generally needed in Georgia
at that time. It takes about two
weeks for lights to affect egg pro
duction.
