Graduate Returns to Home; Gives
Intelligent Attention to the is P Oil
A young graduate of the Martha
Ylerry School came back to hi
mountain home near Blairsville
to put into practice on the farm
some of the things he had been
taught in a practical school.
His name is W. J. McDougald
and he lives on a 112-acre farm
in Union county. During the
years he has been in touch with
farming up in the mountains he
has seen many changes. He has
watched the county change from
isolated, half-barren mountain
sides, inhabited by people who
practiced a live-to-itself type of
farming, to a county that has been
opened to people all over the
world who can see its green
growing, productive fields and
talk to these same farmers who
are now engaged in co-operative,
diversified farming
McDougald is one of these in
telligent farmers intelligent in that
he is using mountain soil to ad
vantage. Being located in one of
the Tennessee Valley Authority
counties which has established, in
co-operation with the Georgia Ag
ricultural Extension Service, unit
test demonstration farms on which
quantities of phosphate and lime
are being used, he has utilized his
share of this fertilizer to make his
land more productive. And he has
obtained striking results from his
efforts.
For over six years now McDou
gaid has been farming on his 112
acres. His cultivated fields are
either planted in some crop that
brings in either revenue or som<
sort of legumes which are building
up the fertility of his soil. In the
meantime, he has built his dwn
home, the only rock-veneered
residence in the county. This res
idence and all of his land is paid
for. There are running water and
electric lights in the house .
McDougald plants both lespede
za and crimson clover, and he
uses the latter for temporary graz
ing. His pastures are seeded with
14 varieties of grasses.
This young man is practicing
a regular live-at-home program.
Now, a program of this kind does
n’t mean that a farm family pro
duces only what that family needs
for its sustenance. It means that
in addition to growing the things
needed for home consumption, the
farm family produces a sufficient
amount of surplus to provide food
for their city neighbors, and
through the sale of these surplus
products derives a sufficient in
come to enable the family,to buy
tbose things they cannot raise on
their own farm.
And that is exactly what Mc
Dougald is doing. His cash crops
include Irish potatoes, cabbage
and beans. He also derives some
income from feeder pig and veal
calves. Then he has his chickekns,
and the family cow. He grows hi=
own corn for meal and feed for the
livestock and workstock.
When a visitor compliments W
J- McDougald on his well balanced
system of farming and remarks

favorably on the condition of his
crops and livestock, he says quiet
ly: “Much obliged. But let me
tell you something. When I first
started farming on my own, 1
thought I knew everything abeu:

CHINESE COTTON CROP
The 1940 cotton crop in China
including Manchuria, is estimated
at 2,200,000 bales of 478 pounds
each compared with 1,900,000
bales in 1939, the Office of For
eign Agricultural Relations of the
United States Department of Ag
riculture recently announced in its
weekly publication, Foreign Crop:
and Markets. The average crop
for the 5-year period ending with
1938 was 3,127,000 bales annual
ly. Despite another relatively
low crop, the demand for Ameri
can cotton in China during the
1940-41 marketing year is not
expected to exceed 100,000 bales
During the first 10 months (Octo
ber-July) of the 1939-40 season
imports o f American cotton
amounted to 430.000 bales.
