MORE MONEY CROPS.
Although the cotton crop of this immediate
section will soon be marketed it does not mean
that the money crops of the year are nearly all
In. This would have been the case a few years
ago when the cotton was nearly all sold, but it
is not so not*.
There are big crops of peanuts and none of
these have yet come to market Only a small
portion of this crop has "been harvested and
picking is now under way. The oil mills are
ready for them.
Next will come the corn and velvet beans,
for which the $30,000 plant of the feed milU
here offers a cash market. Com is now matur
ing and beans are still growing. It will be well
on towards Christmas before the last of these
crops are brought in.
Then, in late November, the packing plant
will b/ready. for hogs. And from all parts of
the eonnty come reports of an immense hog
crop. The hard fight last summer with the co
operation of a veterinarian sent by the govern
ment, appears to have won the fight against
cholera. There is plenty of feed and to spare,
and with cool weather for the balance of the
year the porkers will soon be as fat as butter.
All these crops are bringing good prices; the
hungry mouths of several countries are waiting
for them and by the time they are all in and the
cash in the producers' pockets, 1917 should
pass a record as the most prosperous year Tift
county and this immediate section has • ever
seen
PLOW UNDER COTTON-PLANT WHEAT-
I The best way to fight the boll weevil .next
, year is to plow in the cotton stalks now—be-
. fore frost comes and the weevils hide, and
while the stalks are green enough to rot and
help fertilize the soil.
After cool weather has driven the weevil in
to winter quarters turning under the cotton
stalks will not be jialf so effective ns before.
This year growers San do this with little loss,
because there is no top crop and the first crop
was gathered early. Those who have studied
the habits of the weevils assure us that there is
no more effective method of destroying them
than this early turning under of cotton while
they are still feeding on the stalks. -
After the stalks are underput in a few acres
of wheat, not necessarily for market but for
borne use. Government control assures that
the price will not be below $2.20 a bushel next
year. That means thnl flour will remain high,
about equivalent to 23 cent cotton. Any far
mer can provide his own bread, even a surplus,
with a little care.-
Those not experienced in wheat growing
should not undertake it without first consulting
someone competent to advise. Prof. Lewis, of the
Second District Agricultural School, issued last
year q valuable bulletin on wheat growing-
the best soil, seed selection, when and how to
plant, care of crop, harvesting and how to keep
the wheat after it is harvested- He will be
pleased to send one of these bulletins to you
application or give*the benefit of experiments
made on the school farm to those interested.
a It requires a little of many things to make up
diversified farming. Try a small wheat-crop
lor one of these things; go at it with thorough
ness and intelligence aiul you will find it the
easiest bread you ever .earned.
