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.

I > ■ L —J 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.
