By J. C. McAullffe.
I'd ten tltiies rather talk about th'
singing hlrds ai.d tho beautiful flow
ers and all the glories of Spring tha
o O'irden the reading public wur
some of the monotonous things tha
creep Into life as necessities, but It
must be done. It Is one of the In
evitable things of life—this 'oil and
never ending contest for supremacy
In the struggle for existence. It takes
work and care to bring about tha
things of life that are worth while.
There never was a flower garden made
beautiful without someore tolling sev
ernl years to make It so. No farm
or fields ever brought returns with
out gome tiller of the soil putting out
his life blood In the battle. There
is not much difference between th"
soldier tinder arms and the mail with
the hoe. Bbth fight against a stub
born foe and both come to the same
end with the lapse of years Is over
and the course Is run.
There Is one great pity, however
that always comes surging through
the heart when one thinks of the odds
against the man with the hoe. Too
often he Is a “private" In the rank-
of the "tollers” without a general
without a guide. He ne<ds educatloi
drilling, as it were, to equip him hr
his place In order to make a succesr
of tho engagement. True, many c.
us are grown old without acquirin'
this knowledge but In the school o!
experience one never grows too old
to learn. We may be beyond tho
years when we ran enter the hall of
learning and grasp iltiw Ideas and
new methods from the modern Helen
title leaeher, who, by the way, is ul
so a practical worker Just now; Yel
there tire avenues open w u cre one cun
pass along and gather Ideas that will
profit him greatly.
Walking without forethought, with
iut planning today for tomorrow, Is
Ike engaging In a task fraught with
uncertainties and the travelers know
ing that failure waits yonder at the
end.
Good preparation,, good seed, good
cut lira! methods and a dozen other
essentials points are now necessary
to really become successful In fann
ing. A man may devote Ills time, b"
of untiring energy and determined t<
v'n out in this matter, but unless he
is properly trained and pluns for Ilfs
work he Is handicapped to such at’
extent that he will wear his life away
and accomplish nothing, while his
neighbor, following a better plan, will
)use along tne same road win success
and, after all give less effort.
In this connection, I want to say
that the one crop system Is the cause
if more worry than all the evils that
iver invaded a farming section. It is
>ot confined to cotton farming alone
for It Is the same old story over,
whether you go Into the grain belt,
down in South America on the coffee
plantations, into France with Its vine
yards, or Germany with Its potatoes.
The man who depends on one crop
Is almost suro to suffer sooner or
later. It Is doubly true when It comes
to cotton farming, for the planter can
not feed the cotton to his stock, he
uannot utilize' It at home. It must
be sold abroad, somewhere else, for
what price he can procure.
With a different system of farming
raising cotton ns a surplus and de
voting part of his time and attention
to diversified farming, growing things
needed at home, the outcome will be
different. There are many crops tha'
suggest themselves to tho farmers
who will think, some of them almos
ns old ns agriculture Itself, and yet
so commonly neglected. Among thesi
may be mentioned sweet potatoes in
the South, sorghum, millet and various
others. It is to some new ouos—old
yet new to most folks—that 1 would
call attention to In this sketch.
These are artichokes, cow peas, nml
Mexican June Corn. In every section
of the South these crops will flourish
and yield great returns. They are
valuable because they will produce
valuable Crops and at the same time
’•e'uiT acdpetking to the soil and to
be farm. Alt of them can be used
0 groat advantage In various ways
;nd 1 consider no crop superior to
•ow pers for bay mid for grazing. The
many varieties to be had enables a
arnifr to plant them from the mid
He of A)ril until the last of July and
1 t results. This system gives graz
ng and feed from the middle of July
'util frost, which ordinarily means
he middle of November. They en
rich the soil while providing feed and
still they are not found on half the
farms, the soli being rather given
over to that fertility-destroying plant
—cotton.
Artichokes furnish a great source
of feed, especially for hogs. It is
easy to grow, some two to four hun
dred bushels per acre and the hogs
will dig their own supply as needed
The time to plant artichokes It at
hand and most any seedman adver
tising in the Farmers' Union News
will be glad to supply readers. They
are easy to grow and unlike most root
crops they arc not such a drain or.
the soil. While they rob It of much
of Its valuable plant food, still they
return quite a quantity of vegetable
matter and this Is essential to produc
tlon.
Mexican June Corn is comparative
ly an unknown crop throughout the
Eaatern half of the cat ton belt. A few
years ago it was Introduced In some
sections and many of the farmers did
not know how to handle it, planting
early in March when it all went to
stalk, so to speak. It is very valuable
for planting after oat* and never falls
to make an abundant crop for it never
rains too much, or the sun ever shines
too much for It to be auceessfuL Its
value as a forage plan, making aa
immense amount of foliage, causes
those who have tried it to place a
Thinking About It!! I
Two farmers met in the road one day-=“thought you
said you had plowed that ten-acre field" said the
first farmer. “No, I was only thinking about
plowing it” said the second farmer. “Oh, I see;
you merely turned it ov r er in your mind.”
Now then, we’ve been turning over some things in
our mind, and want to tell you about them.
