the hands of Judge Shepard Bryan
Wednesday when he denied n
motion of State Senator J. E.
Pavison fora recountof the referen
dum votes.
With the denial Ly the eourt, it
was assumed that advocates of the
measure had taken their last stand.
The amendment, which was passed
by the State Legislature at its sum
mer sessien, was lost by a majority of
approximately 6,600 votes.
~ Judge Bryan heard the mation of
Senator Davison Friday but reserved
his decisien until Wednesday. In
the petition, the legislator sought by
writ of mandamus to compel Secre:
tary of State S. G. McLendon to
recount the votes, and ‘‘correct or
amend the certifieate filed with Goy

To the motion Secretary McLen

points of objection. He asserted
that Senator Davison had given no
reason for asking a recount; that
the votes had beeu counted imme
diately after the election, and that
the majority by which the amend

the impossibility of ‘an'error in the
outcome. !

WHAT SHALL OUR '
PROGRAM BE FOR 1923?
I When 1t comes to formulating a ‘‘farm program” for making
our next crop, we are probably less-certain as to what we should
or can do than for many years past. :
Crop diversification has become almost a by-word to ‘those in
terested in agriculture, but some types of diversification have fail
ed to pay the taxes on the land and send the children to school.
This creates a strong tendency to fall back into the old “‘ruts.”’
Peraonally, we believe there is dangerin following either extreme.
The man who tries to diversify too much is likely to get too many
“irons in the fire,”” and thus fail. While the fellow who tries "to
put all his ‘‘eggs’’ in one ‘‘basket” stands a chance of loosing
them all, ' R i
Every line of agriculture requires a certain amount of equip
ment to do effective work. Unless the farmer is very caréful, in
trying to carry too many lines, his equipment will far exeeed the
returns from his crops. State diversification and community
specialization has a number of desirable features. Especially is
‘this true where a community specializes on its money crops and
diversifies on its crops for home eonsumption. If the farmer grows
enough food and feed supplies for the occupants and livestock of
the farm, the remainder of the energy should then probably best
be directed towards the production nf about two money crops. In
some communities these crops are asparagus and peaches, in others
hogs and peanuts, or cotton and peppers, ete. Where such com
munity specialization is practised buyers are attracted and the pro
ducts more easily sold. Canning factories, pack houses or other’
manufacturing plants can be more easily established, and it is cer
tain that, on the average, the more nearly finished into a consum
able or manufactured from a produect is before it leaves the farm
or community the more profitable it is to the producer. . l
o SPECIALIZED FARMING BY THE INDIVIDUAL .
Near the large centers of population there are always oppor
tunities for specialized farming on the part of the individual, such
as the production of certified milk for infants, the production of
poultry and eggs fcr restaurants and hotels, special truck crops as
early tomatoes, celery, and head leituce; or certain fruits as grapes}
for dessert _purposes and for making unfermented juice.
: : COTTON PLANTING IN 1923 f
We recognize that cotton has been and will be the State’s
chief cash crop.. We know, also the cotton growing, under boll
weevil conditions, is more or less a gamble and we should not in
crease the odds against ourselves. g
The increase in price of cotton along with unsatisfactory results
with some other money crops has created a desire for a very great
ly increased acreage ifi cotton for the coming year. Here is where
we need to take warning. An increase in acreage, if more. is put
in than can be worked according to medern methods, may mean a
postive decrease in yield: for large areas of cotton grown by old
methods of culture means more boll weeyil feed, but not necessari
ly more cotton to the grower, «
No outlined progrom can be expected to fit a very large rum
ber of farms. Only the grower himself can arrange the number
of acres he should plant to each crop. On the average farm in the
Piedmgnt region a three years rotation of corn, small grains, and a
cash crop seems to be nearest suited tq our heeds. Perennial crops
such as alfalfa and kudzu can be grown i fields separate from the
rotation. Such a rotation will provide most of the farmer’s needs
for food when combined with livestock farming, in.a small way,.
and a good garden. There should be no need for buying feed for
the livestock. This rotation also offers an opportunity for a soil
improvement program such as is necessary if farming is to be made
profitable in'this region. Cow peas or velyet beans can be grown
in the corn, the small grains can be followed by cowpeas or soy
beans, 2nd oats or rye planted in the cotton. These crops should
all be turned under for improving the land, except where they can
be profitably pastured. Livestock should be kept under sheds or
in small lots, and the manure carefully saved.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE ' ‘
One year agriculture is poor agriculture, just as one year ten
ants are likely to Le poor tenants. In planning for the future we
Fgmgld therefore have two prime objects in view; one to establish
lpeP\ hvial crops, as peaches, pecans, asparagus, alfalfa, ete., to
becc e remunerative later; and the other to establish some soil
building policy that will make our farms richer year by year. This
‘can probably be done most economically by properly terracing the
land and then adding to its fertility by growing and turning under
%green manures and the various forms of crop refuse, supplemented
by all the availaile animal manures on the place, and a reasonable
amount of commercial fertilizers. Profitable farming is most
‘easily accomplished on fertile soil. ,
