AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
THE CONSTRUCTIVE VALUE OF
EXTENSION WORK
Extension activities have now been
in progress for some years past. Suf
ficient time has elapsed and enough
work has been accomplished to en
able us to form some estimate of
the value of work of this character.
To this end, it seems desirable that
a summary of a few of the more im
portant accomplishments brought
about' through this agency should
I be summarized.
| The first thing undertaken by the
I extension divisions of our several
• agricultural colleges was to create
an interest in farming and to demon
i strate that by the employment of
! different methods larger profits could
Ibe derived from the soil. Up to the
time work of this character was in
stituted, fee had been endeavoring
to farm by "rule of thumb,” and
the practices of out- forefathers were
followed in large measure. It had
been possible to proceed in this man
ner because the soil was fairly fer
tile and there were always large
areas of new lands which could be
brought under the plow. It is true
that the farmers’ crops suffered
both native and introduced plant and
insect pests. He had been able to
I meet this situation, however, because
iof the cheapness of the labor by
i which he was surrounded. The low
: returns from his land, however, had
J a depressing effect on the farmer
! and has family, and there was a de-
I sire to escape from was con
! sidered the bondage of the farm into
i other avocations that, presumably,
| offered better opportunities and larg
!er increments from the labor ex
j pended in association therewith.
The extension work came into be
ing at a time when a reorganized
practice on the farm, therefore, was
a national necessity. It was the con
necting link to relate the college, the
research worker and the producer.
It was the avenue by which scientif
ic facts could be translated into prac
tice and put into effect on the farm.
It came into being just at an era
when agricultural implements and
labor-saving devices were beginning
to be necessities on our farms and
when their utilization made a differ-
I ent type of farm management neces
j sary. At this juncture also a move
j ment of labor to the cities, attract
| ed by our rapid increase in indus
: trial organizations, left the amount
available for agriculture. Hence, the
use o’ machinery received a great
impetus. «
Under these conditions it first be
came necessary for the extension
service to demonstrate to the farm
er and his boys and girls that he had
I a business of worth-while opportuni
i ties and privileges and that if he
| organized and directed his effort
| along different lines and met the
■ changed conditions with scientific
! exactness and precision, he could
I add greatly to the productiveness of
’ the land and the profits derived
i therefrom. Hence, selling a modi
! fied agricultural practice to the farm
i er became the main issue of the day
I and hour, and I think it can be seen
i that success was achieved in this di
rection.
I The next effort of the extension
work was centered on the lives of
the young people who constitute the
primary asset of any nation or com
munity. The farmer up to this time
had not given much thought to the
welfare of his boys and girls as they
were related to the continuance of the
industdy in which he was engaged.
They had no place or consideration,
for the most part, in the plan of or
ganization. They were expected to
give their labor and energy to pro
duction without hope of much ma
terial reward. They saw little but
drudgery in the life of the farm. It
was not surprising that they should
desire to get away from it under
such conditions. Through the agency
of club organizatinons, the farmer was
taught that his boys and girls could
be interested in agriculture and his
own crops and profits increased by
the institution of the methods of
practice the boys and girls were
taught to follow. As a result this
< reated a companionship between the
farmer and his children which has
resulted in many instances in revo
lutionizing tire methods of practice
followed in the nature and character
of the crops cultivated. It has been
instrumental in some instances in
changing the status of live stock
production from a neglected business
to where it has become a pivotal in
dustry in this state. No more impor
tant or valuable work has been ac
complished than through the creat
ing of a new vision in a new hope
and purpose in the minds of country
boys and girls which has been ac
complished through the agency of
the various club organizations devel
oped by the extension divisions or
our agricultural colleges.
The next effort of the extension
worker was directed to the business
of the farmer himself. In this re
spect he seldom kept, accounts, knew
little about what lines of activity
were the most profitable or promis
ing and what phases of his business
were conducted at a loss. It was fur
ther shown that through increased
yields greater pretits could be ob
tained. and hence intensification of
effort on smaller areas of .land was
brought about. It was pointed out
to the farmer that he must direct
some of his effort and energy to
ward standardizing his output wheth
er it be in the form of crop or
live stock. His attention was di
rected to grades and standards and
market demands, the principle of co
operation in buying and selling was
emphasized, the necessity for more
exact knowledge as to the cost of
production was demonstrated and,
in this way. a vast improvement in
the business methods followed on
the farm was brought about.
The extension division of our agri
cultural colleges has also given a
great impetus to agricultural educa
tion. This has resulted in an appre
ciation of the importance and value
of correct training along agricul
tural and home economics lines. As a
result, a large number of secondary
schools in which vocational courses
have been emphasized have been es
tablished. Our agricultural colleges
which have languished for many
vears because of inadequate support
and appreciation have taken on new
life. Their halls are now crowded
with students and their laboratories
are fairly well equipped, while then
support has been greatly increased.
It is true that only a beginning has
been made along these lines, but
when we cons.der what has been
accomplished in comparison with la?,
status as these institutions ten to
twenty years ago, w<i can only mar
vel at the growth they have made.
It is equally gratifying as well as
surprising to find what an influence
the body of graduates they have
turned out in this time has exercised
on the public welfare and Particular
ly upon the operations of the farm
and the betterment of other condi
tions generally in and about the tai m
home. The fact that the farmer has
become a patron of the secondary
school or the agricultural college has
created a renewed interest on his
part in education and a desire for
more accurate and definite informa
tion relating to his business. Na
turally ,the situation thus brought
about has had a reciprocal influence
on the rural schools, and hence it
is not surprising to see very I pucn
larger appropriations made for tneir
maintenance and support and a con .
sistent effort being made to con
solidate them so that a better type
of instruction may be offered the
boys and girls who attend them.
Probably no effort of the i exten
sion division has been more fruit
ful in results than that of inducing
the southern farmer to diversify his
practice. This has been done to
such an extent that It seems that
"King Cotton” has been positively
dethroned. There was never a sec
tion of any country that could be
permanently prosperous as long as
it depended upon one. crop. The
south tried this for fifty years alter
the Civil war with results so fa
miliar to all that they need not be
detailed at this time. In the last
decade the southern farmer has been
induced bv the leadership afforded
through extension agencies to great
ly multiply his interest in live stock
production, to raise the greater par.
of his feed and food crops at home
and to grow a great variety of crops
hitherto neglected As a result, mil
lions of dollars formerly sent out
of the south to purchase meat and
foodstuffs have been kept at home
and this accounts more largely tor
the growing prosperity of the soutn
than anything else which has oc
curred in the last half centuiy. This
piece of service work in itself justi
ties a thousand times over the ex
penditures made by the agricultural
colleges for the promotion of ex
tension teaching, and certainly no
Phase of service rendered surpasses
that exercised in freeing the south
from the bane of the one-crop sys
tem.
In addition to the above, the ex
tension division has established
community organizations, aided in
the development of co-operative
marketing organizations, the estab
lishment of sanitary measures in the
home and on the farm, and in inaug
urating campaigns for the introduc
tion and use of labor saving machin
ery. It has demonstrated the bene
fits to be brought to the various sec
tions through drainage, terracing
and the clearing up of waste lands.
Permanent pastures have been en
couraged, and great aid extended in
overcoming the damage which other
wise would have been effected by the
weevil. In various centers many
sweet potato storage houses have
been built, a crop rotation system in
troduced and the grazing of hogs on
a succession of crops established on
a permanent basis. Much work re
mains to be done, and it will take
a long time to accomplish all that
should be undertaken; but it is plain
to be seen that the effort and energy
expended have been well worth
while. ■
Fertilizing With Cotton Seed Meal
E. W. H., Lenox, Ga., writes:
Do you think cotton seed meal too
expensive to use as fertilizer
now? I used 500 lbs., of equal
parts of cotton seed meal and
acid last year with good results.
What kind of cotton do you con
sider best to plant, now?
Tn your situation, I would pur
chase and use the cheapest carrier of
nitrogen I could obtain. If this hap
pens to be nitrate of soda, then you
can afford to replace the cottonseed
meal which you have previously used
with it. If the nitrogen in cottonseed
meal costs you from fifty to sixty
cents per pound and you can buy it
in nitrate of soda or any other ma
terial at from twenty-five to forty
cents per pound, 1 would not hesitate
to make the change suggested. If
you wish to use five hundred pounds
per acre of a given formula, you
will find that a mixture of three hun
dred pounds of acid phosphate and
two hundred pounds of nitrate of
soda will answer very well. This
would give you a formula containing
a relatively high amount of nitrogen.
That would be nearly thirty pounds
of available nitrogen in the mixture
indicated. This formula, however,
contains more than 9 per cent < f
phosphoric acid which would supply
your growing crops with a sufficient
amount of this element to answer
every purpose.
One should, of course, select early
maturing varieties of cotton to plant
where there is danger of heavy boll
weevil infestation. He m..,..iu also
select a wilt resistant strain. To this
end. we ad.vise you to purchase and
use either Covington Toole or some of
l he improved strains developed from
it. Among these are Council Toole
land Petty’s Toole. You should find
no difficulty in securing reliable seed
of these strains, as they are grown in
considerable quantities in South
Georgia.
An Interested Reader’s Problems
S. L. Y r ., High Point, N. C.,
writes: I have been reading the
agricultural columns for two
years and have always found
them beneficial. What do you
think of planting three acres in
100-day velvet beans the first
■week in May and then plant
Kaffir corn in the middle rows
about a week later to cut for hay
in September or October?
It is gratifying to know that you
have found our advices so helpful
and beneficial. It is a pleasure, of
course, to serve our correspondents
in the most effective manner possible.
This will naturally continue to be our
policy in the future as it has been
in the past.
Our experience in making hay from
velvet beans has not been very sat
isfactory. This crop is difficult to
cure owing to the fact that it does
not mature as early or completely as
some other hay crops before cold
weather sets in. The leaves of velvet
beans are very tender and brittle and
shatter off badly in the process of hay
making. Thus, a good part of the
food value is lost. We have found
it more desirable to graze the vines
of velvet beans rather than to at
tempt to harvest and cure them as
hay.
plant in sections where drouth is
likely to be experienced. It is also a
very good crop to plant with velvet
beans to make into silage. Very good
yields per acre can be secured with
Kaffir corn. Situated as you are, we
would be inclined to plant the 100-day
velvet bean in between the rows of
an ordinary upland variety of field
corn. We believe in this way that
you will secure the largest results
per acre on both grain and forage.
Our experience leads us to think that
it is best to put the velvet beans eith
er in the drill row with the corn or
along side of it. Kor hay making
purposes, we are disposed to thimc
you will find a combination of three
pecks to a bushel of cowpeas sown
along with a peck of Tennessee millet
a good combination crop to grow for
hay. An early maturing variety of
cowpeas should be selected as the
millet should be ready to harvest
from sixty to ninety days after plant
ing. Millet should be cut in the early
dough stage, and this combination
when properly cured should not be
fed to work stock except when com
bined with other forms of rough
age not so rich in nitrogen. Millet
and peavines make a good yield per
acre and the hay, if pronerly cured
and harvested, is of excellent quality.
Top Cressing With Sulphate of
Ammonia
F. P. J., Leslie, Ga„ writes:
I have some sulphate of ammo
nia which I want to put around
my cotton and corn. When will
the sulphate become available,
and what would be the result of
mixing it with nitrate of soda
and applying together?
The nitrogen in sulphate of am
monia becomes quite quickly availa
ble to growing crops. There is no
reason why it should not be used,
therefore, as a side-application on
both corn and cotton. It would be
best not to mix it with nitrate of
soda because the sulphate of am
monia should be covered into the
ground. In other words, it will be
good practice to distribute it ahead
of the harrow or cultivator. This
is not necessary or desirable in the
case of nitrate of soda which should
be used strictly as a top dressing.
The nitrogen in nitrate of soda be
comes more quickly available to
growing crops than that contained
in sulphate of ammonia. Moreover,
the water in the soil which natur
ally rises toward the surface of the
ground will dissolve the nitrate of
soda, making its incorporation with
the soil unnecessary. If you are
producing cotton in a section where
the boll weevil is likely to prove
troublesome, any top dressing w’ith
nitrogen should be made immediately
after the cotton is out of the ground
and is chopped to a stand. In the
case of corn, you may wait to make
the application until the stalks are
from a foot to eighteen inches in
height.
Treating a Swollen Log
E. D. M., Alapaha, Ga.. writes:
I have a mule that his leg swells
up from the fetlock to the hip
joint about once a month. It has
done this for three years, but
seems to be worse this winter.
Can you give me a remedy for
this trouble?
The best treatment we can sug
gest under the circumstances -would
be to give a purgative of from six
to eight drams of aloes. This should
move the bowels freely, which, of
course, is the end desired. Salts
may be used in the place of aloes, if
you prefer. Administer as a drench.
The kidneys should be stimulated by
giving an ounce of saltpetre once
each day for three days in succes
sion. The leg can often be bathed
to advantake in hot water. Foment
for twenty minutes three times dai
ly. Then rub it dry and apply an
ointment made up of eight ounces
of fresh, melted lard and two ounces
of gum camphor. This ointment
should, of course, be thoroughly
rubbed in. lodide of potash In dram
doses may be given once daily for
about three days. This often pro
duces excellent results. Careful
feeding and uniformity of exercising
are important matters In helping ’o
correct troubles of this character.
Stimulating Watermelons With Nit
rate of Soda
P. E. J., Brooklet, Ga., writes: I
have ten acres just planted to water
melons, and wish to know if it would
be advisable to use nitrate of soda on
them, and at what time shuold it be
applied? I put 400 pounds of a 9-2-3
guano and figured on a similar applica
tion later. Your advice in the matter
will be appreciated.
Watermelons w-ould be classed as
a truck crop, the profits from which
are likely to be greatly increased
through early marketing. Truck
crops also require to be forced rapid
ly in order to produce fine quality,
which naturally enhances their mar
ket value.
Under the circumstances, we would
not hesitate, therefore, to use nitrate
of soda as a top dressing for water
melons. This material should be ap
plied in two applications, using fifty
pounds pei' acre at each application.
The first application should be made
as soon as the vines have been
brought to a stand and have started
to run. The second application should
be made as soon as any considerable
number of melons begin to set on.
The nitrogen should be put in a cir
cle around the vine fairly close up
but not touching the stem where it
comes out of the ground. Fut it on
when the vines are dry and then it
will not burn or injure the leaves.
Scatter it on top of the ground. It
will be dissolved almost immediately
by the water in the soil and will very
quickly show its influence on the
crop. The amount of nitrogen I have
suggested should certainly be used
on a watermelon crop fertilized in
the manner described in your letter.
The reason for this is that truck
lands as a rule are not naturally
rich in available nitrogen and the
fertilizer you apply is low in this
element.
Forcing Stringles Beans to Quick
Maturity
V. 8., Mt. Airy, Gu.. writes: I in
tend to plant some stringless beans. I
would like to know when and how to
apply nitrate of soda.
Nitrate of soda will be found help
ful in stimulating a rapid develop
ment of the bean crop. Personally.
I would be disposed to apply this
material as soon as the beans have
germinated and then probably use a
little along every two weeks until I
had made several applications. I
would use nitrate of soda on beans
at the rate of one hundred pounds
per acre, applying therefore only
about thirty or thirty-five pounds at
each application. I would distrib
ute the nitrate of soda alongside the
drill row late in the evening. I
would select a time -when there is
likely to be two or three relatively
dry days. The water rising to the
surface of the ground by capillary
action will quickly dissolve the ni--
trate of soda and you will notice its
beneficial results on the bean crop
in the course of a few days. It is
not necessary to cover this material
into the ground.
Soy Beans Are Hearty
And Can Be Planted
With Little Trouble
CLEMSON COLLEGE, S. C.—Soy
beans may be planted any time from
early spring until midsummer, says
Professor G. H. Collings, of the
agronomy division. For a grain crop
they should be planted early, but for
a hay, pasture, green manure or soil
ing crop they may be planted as late
as August 1.
The choice of a variety must be
made by the farmer himself. The
South Carolina experiment station
has found that Mammoth yellow,
Browns, Austin, Tarheel, Black and
Hollybrook gave the best results in
the order named. The Mammoth yel
low is considered one of the best va
rieties for hay. The preparation of
the seed bed is the same as the prep
aration of the seed bed for cotton.
However, a thorough preparation
must be emphasized, for by giving
the plants a good start a long step
has been made toward the successful
production of the crop. The plant re
acts readily to fertilizers, especially
to phospha tic fertilizers. Some potas
sium canbe applied profitably in the
coastal plain, l?ut nitrogen need not
be applied either in the Piedmont pla
teau or the coastal plain.
Whether grown for seed or hay.
soy beans should be planted in rows
30 to 50 inches apart, depending upon
the fertility of the land and the va
riety grown. The seed should be
planted just as cotton or corn. An
ordinary corn planter can be used
very successfully. About 25 to 35
pounds of medium size seed should
not be planted deeper than one and a
half to tw’o inches.
Cultivation should begin as soon
as the youpg plants are above the
ground. One deen cultivation is ad
vised, but after that the cultivations
should be shallow. Level cultivation
is recommended, because harvesting
is thus greatly aided.
About 10 to 30 bushels of grain
and one to six tons of hay will be
produced per acre, depending upon
vat iety, climate, fertility and cultiva
tion. The vines are cut with a mower
or reaper, shocked in the field to dry
and cured the same as cowpea hay.
The beans may be thrashed from the
stalk by specially prepared har
v ester s.
A Brief Outline on
Weevil Poisoning
By Prof. Conradi
CLEMSON COLLEGE, S. C.—
“Present indications are that boll
weevil poisoning will rapidly develop
into a very important factor in boll
weevil control in heavily infested
fields,” says Professor A. F. Conradi,
entomologist for the state crop pest
commission; but he adds:
"Whoever poisons in South Caro
lina in 1920 must remember that he
is experimenting, and should bad re
sults be secured he should not be
come discouraged, because many mis
takes will be made this season. After
this season we will know more
about it.’.’ x .
Summed up, the precautions to be
observed are given as follows:
1. Poisoning should not be under
taken in 1920 except on heavily in
fested land which would produce half
a bale per acre in the entire absence
of weevil injury. .
2 Before you use your calcium ar
senate be sure that it conforms to
the government specifications.
3. Be sure that you have an ap
proved dusting machine. Some dust
ing machines are not satisfactory for
this work.
4. Do not undertake more than you
are absolutely sure you can handle
thoroughly. Do not miss or handle
haphazardly a single step in the rec
ommendations or you may court en
tire failure. .
5. Where approved hand dusting
machines are used, it is suggested
that the beginner plan on five acres
per machine unless he has plenty ot
good labor so that he can rotate sev
eral men on one machine.
6. At this stage of development
poisoning 4%/%" serous, .
and laborious operatioii, and Unless
one is able to prepare properly be
fore beginning poisoning, and unless
he is prepared to give it the atten
tion it requires, he should not under
take noisoffing in 1920.
Information card No. 7, entitled
“801 l Weevil Poisoning m South Car
niina in 1920,” gives the situation
more fully and may be had from the
division of entomology or the fliu
sion of publications, Clemson Colle Q e,
S. C., upon request.
Depth of Corn Cultivation
Many comparative experiments of
deep and shallow cultivation have
been made, and on the whole the re
sults are in favor of
vation, say specialists of the United
States department of agriculture.
The occasions when deep cultivation
is preferable are few. If
rains have packed the soil and kept
it water soaked, deep cultivation will
help to dry and aerate it. Breaking
the roots of the plants be avow
ed so far as possible. Hf loots aie
broken the plants will rapidly pro
due other roots, but it will be at
the expense of vitality and the food
supplv. After the plants have reach
ed a height of 2 or 3 feet, the soil
even in the middle of the rows should
not. be cultivated deeper than 4
inches and usually a shallower cul
tivation will prove better. A loose
soil mulch 2 or 3 inches m thickness
should be maintained. Tt r etains s ° u
moisture and facilitates the penetra
tion of rainfall.
As Japan produces but little more
than half the sugar it consumes, it
is fostering the cultivation of sugar
beets in Manchuria.
Hvdro-electric plants completed or
under completion in France will give
that country 1.600,000 horsepower
from its -waterfalls.

t For More Than Forty Years
Cotton Growers have known that
POTASH PAYS
More than 11,651,200 Tons of Potash Salts
had been imported and used in the United
States in the 20 years previous to January,
1915, when shipments ceased. Os this 6,460,-
700 Tons consisted of
KAINIT
which the cotton grower knew was both a plant •
food and a preventive of blight and rust, —with
it came also 1,312,400 Tons of
20 per cent
MANURE SALT
which has the same effects on Cotton, but which was
used mainly in mixed fertilizers.
Shipments of both Kainit and Manure Salt have
been resumed but the shortage of coal and cars and
high freight rates make it more desirable to ship
Manure Salt, which CONTAINS 20 PER CENT OF
ACTUAL POTASH, instead of Kainit, which con
tains less than 13 per cent actual Potash.
MANURE SALT can be used as a side dressing
on Cotton in just the same way as Kainit and will
give the same results. Where you used 100 pounds
of Kainit, you need to use but 62 pounds of Manure f
Salt, or 100 pounds of Manure Salt go as far as 161 f
pounds of Kainit.
MANURE SALT has been coming forward m
considerable amounts and cotton growers, who can
, not secure Kainit, should make an effort to get
Manure Salt for side dressing to aid in making a big
Cotton Crop.
Muriate of Potash
50 per cent actual Potash, has been coming forward
alao, —100 pounds of Muriate are equivalent to 400
pounds of Kainit or 250 pounds of Manure Salt.
These are the three
Standard GERMAN Potash Salts
that were always used in making cotton fertilizers
and have been used for all these years with great
profit and WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO THE
CROP.
The supply is not at present as large as in former
years, but there is enough to greatly increase the
Cotton Crop if you insist on your dealer making the
necessary effort to get it for you.
