, AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE Some Reasons Why We Should En courage Grass Production We are now not producing nearly as much milk or beef as we ‘need for local consumption. At least these are the facts directed to my atten tion by those who are supposed to know. I am fully informed relative to the wonderful amount of progress which we are making along animal husbandry lines and commend and approve all that has been accom plished. We have made a good start on a long trail, but there is much more to be accomplished and so we must not be weary in well doing. There are millions of acres of land in the southeastern states which are quite well adapted for pastures that are now not utilized for any useful purpose. A part of this is cut-over land, some of it has the remnant of a forest on it, part of it is covered with brush land young trees, and some of it Which has been cleared has been so much abused that the cover which nature originally pro vided has been destroyed until noth ing but gullies and barren, waste are visible to the eye. We have been prodigal in destroying the vast nat ural resources which nature has placed at our disposal, but we have now about achieved the job and are faced with the difficult, trying and exacting task of building back and reclaiming for agricultural purposes a part of that which we so ruthless ly destroyed. Nearly all the land of the char acter I have mentioned is capable of producing grasses of one type or an other which will aid us materially in sustaining large herds of beef ami dairy cattle successfully. It is self evident that at least a considerable percentage of this land should be utilized for the purpose indicated. It is better suited to lay down to grass than to any other agricultural crop. Besides, it helps to balance up our farming operations and makes it pos sible for us to extend our animal in dustries. While live stock can be raised on a minimum area of pas ture, or possibly in its absence alto gether, there is nothing which has ever yet been found as satisfactory and economical for the animal hus bandman to use as a good pasture. Our native pastures have some virtue and, of course, should be utilized as much as possible, but they can never be counted on to aid us materially in the solution of the problem by which we are now confronted. On the other hand, these native pastures can be readily and very greatly Improved. It will cost some money aud take soma time, but ft Is an undertaking and an enterprise well worth while.

Worse than that, we have busied ourselves in fighting grass. Now that the boll weevil has come our attitude must of necessity be changed on this, along with many other propositions, and we must use grass as one of the strong and es • sential aids necessary to the recon struction of dur agriculture on a basis in accordance with ths require ments of the situation we are forced to meet. At the present time prob ably it would require ten acres and upwards of our wild lands to provide indifferent grazing for a single ani mal during the growing season. I know, of course, there are exceptions to all rules ami tiiat this statement could be controverted to some ex tent. On the other hand, I believe that it represents an approximate average of the area which would be required. On the other hand, we know that Bermuda grass, for instance, may be made to clothe a field in the course of a single season and that one or two acres of it properly handled will provide a maintenance ration for an animal throughout the growing sea son. In other sections of the coun try where they have studied grasses and encouraged pasture production for many years they have been able to develop a carrying capacity pe» acre far in excess, of the figure indicated. In New England, for-instance, a beef animal may be carried through a sea son successfully on four acres of im proved- pasture land. In New York it is said that it requires five acres to c.t>ry two head of stock for the pastur® season, while in Indiana and Illinois the same acreage will carry an average say of three head. Os course, none of our pasture lands, oven in the most favored sections of the country, have yet reached their ultimate carrying capacity. Undoubtedly if the best tame varie ties of grasses are selected and sown end our pastures given the considera tion and treatment which their im portance justifies, we will materially increase their carrying capacity. Enough has already been accomplish ed here in the south to demonstrate the correctness of this statement. Pastura lands, of course, require fertiiizai'on just the same as Other farm crops. We think this would likely be more true of the south than of some other sections of the coun try. In the territory included in the I southeastern states most of our soils . arc relatively low in nitrogen at best. They are markedly deficient in phosphoric acid, and in some in stances .potasn as well. Most ,of theyx need- liming,- Nitrogen is an expensive element and this fact will deter many from its use, but in es tablishing pastures we think some should be applied. Formulas suit able t r use might contain 2 or 3.per cent of this element, 8 to 12 phos phoric acid, and say 2 to 6 per cent of potash. The amount to apply will vary. Five hundred pounds and upwards per acre could probably be used witU profit and advantage. Ma terials ot this character should as a ~alr be put on in the spring and it is better after broadcasting them over the land to harrow them into the soil. This applies to a pasture already established. In case one de sires to establish a grazing area from seed, we would prefer that the plant ing be done as a rule in the fall. In the event fertilizer is to be used it will be better to incorporate it in the land before the grass seed is sown. t'astures should be limed at least once in three years. We are dis posed to think that a ton of crushed raw rock per acre would be the mini mum amount to apply. As to varieties of grass to use, there will be some difference of opin ion. Undoubtedly Dallis grass is one of our most valuable assets. Next to it comes probably Louisiana car pet grass. These two grasses are especially valuable for the southern part of the state of Georgia and in that territory in other states called the coastal plain region. In the Piedmont section probably Bermuda grass can be used to better ad vantage than any other of the tame grasses. Its use can be supple mented in favorable locations by seeding orchard grass, tall oat grass, meadow fescue, Italian rye grass, and in some localities . Timothy and red clover. On Bermuda pastures Lespedeza should be sown. This also applies to some localities in the coastal plain region. White clover can be used in some sections and alsike in others. Alsike will do bet ter on lands which are somewhat acid than probably any of the other clovers mentioned. In establishing a pasture one should exercise patience and consid eration, and not expect it to be high ly productive for several years. Some grasses will cover the land in a much shorter period than others, conse quently they • can be grazed earlier and more freely. This applies with particular force to Bermuda grass when planted on soils to which it is adapted. Most other grasses are rather slow in developing, and early and too heavy grazing may result in their practical destruction. This has often led to the conclusion that there were no grasses adapted to given lo calities, whereas tne factor of mis management was really responsible for the condition which arose. Undoubtedly the pasture problem constitutes one of the greatest issues confronting our agriculture at this time. It will be many years before we need to use much of our idle land for the production of general farm crops. It seems clear from the ex perience we have had and the infor mation we have been able to gain that grasses will be found adapted to practically every soil and climatic condition occurring in the great southeastern group of states. The question is to find out which are the best for a given locality, then study their habits and plant them on soils to which they are adapted and fer tilize and handle under conditions which will bring about the best re sults. The cotton industry in Georgia is said to be based on the planting of a few seed by Oglethorpe in the vi cinity of Savannah about 190 years ago, and now we see what astonish ing proportions it has attained. It is said that a prophet is not without honor save in his own country, there fore prophesy is a dangerous and probably an undesirable thing, but I feel certain that before another cen tury has rolled around we will have developed an animal industry in the southeastern states of unbelievable proportions frpm the standpoint of today. To do this we will have to develop a vast area of pasture lands of fine quality and of great carrying capacity. We will certainly do this with the same relative degree of success as attended the humble ef fort of Oglethorpe to establish the cotton indnustry. Grass is the best friend of man kind. The cotton farmer has had a notion all his life that he has to fight it. It is true that he does not want it in his cotton field and there is no reason why he snould have f it there. Ossacionally in a wet sea son it has been a menace to the crop, but under normal conditions grass can be destroyed on land under wise and efficient management. On the other had, we need grass everywhere outside of our cultivated fields and we must study the habits of the prin cipal varieties and adapt them so they will help us to effectively solve the problem by which we are now confronted. This is not a more dif ficult task than we have set our selves on many other occasions, and I feel certain the same degree of success will attend our efficient ef fort along this line as we have se cured with cotton, corn, velvet beans and our other principal field and gar den . crops.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Our thought ful auntie lias now found the school, with the' helpless little cherubs already on deck. Now, shall we tell her to go right there, look them over, and pick out the cutest anil sweetest little black, curly-headed four or five-year-old lassie she can find, especially a worthy one who will merit our sympathy because of unforseen events in its history that caused it to be brought there! Then we can call it, as the Scotch say, "our bonnle sweet lassie.” Suppose, then, that after her selection, she gives us ner life’s story, age and description and then let this be followed up by her photo, which by that time we will all be keyed up to sec! I can imagine we will all clap our hands together as we behold it. Then it will be up to us cousins to furnish that SIOO, and I know each cousin will want a share in her ex pense, for they are so kind-hearted. I am still kept busy teaching music on various instruments and the Wampum band. Your cousin, JOHN W. GUY. Dear Aunt Julia: For some time I have intended to write and express my ideas about the little orphan. I am much pleased with the plan you suggest and think the cousins will respond to the cause readily. We do not need to ask if it is a needy cause, for we all know that little orphans need the care and attention of some one and must be provided for. I am very much in sympathy v.-ltr the little orphan, and while we are proud of the little French girl, it will make us all feel good to help those at our door. Some time ago a union missionary society for women was keeping a little girl in China in school. When a suffclent amount was raised for her it was decided that we would raise money to keep a poor man in a hospital longer than he was able to pay for, and we were happy because we could help at home as well as abroad. And I’m sure we will In this case. I would be glad to hear from some of you cousins. BERTHA TEAGUE. Taylorsville, N. C., Route 6. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Gangway! Coming through!

This is certainly a beautiful country out here and a finer climate could not be found anywhere. Uncle Sam’s greatest tubercu losis sanitarium is located here. The Old Santa Fe Trail runs by here and we have ' a fine school building on the site of Kit Carson’s old home. Old Fort Lyon is just across the Arkansas river, which runs on the south boundary of the reservation. Kit Carson fought many battles with hostile Indians around this fort, famous in frontier days.

The wastebasket seems to like my letters better than any one else’s. But I am not going to let that dis courage me. I guess he ought to be fat by now. Some one said, “I wonder how he looks.” I’ll tell you if you won’t laugh: I have brown eyes, brown hair, dark skin and am fifteen years old. Well, I guess this is about enough for the wastebasket’s break fast, so I will go. I want some of you girls near my age to write to me. I am, Your nephew and cousin, JOSEPH HYDE.

My brother takes The Jour nal and I sure do enjoy rending the cousins’ corner.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1020. The Country Home BY MBS. W. H. FELTON This Year of Wet Weather Still it rains. Still the thunder clouds hover over the horizon. It lightens in the east every night. There are mutterings of thunder ev ery day. Sometimes it sprinkles. Then again it pours down rain. When you go to bed at night you are not surprised by hearing the rain pat tering down on the roof. When you whirl along on a railroad train there is standing water between the rows of corn and cotton. Occasionaly you see a sort of a lake in the middle of the field. The cotton stalks are tall enough. How much fruit there is on the plant is a question yet to be answered. Inside the house the damp has made the doors stick fast, and the shoes and leather articles accumulate mold. If •you have some woolens hanging about or lying around you see a plen ty of gray mold. The' grass is rank in the yards and few people are will ing to mow it down or cut it for hay at any old price. And the roads'. From bad to worse, and from worse to nearly impassable for mud and slush. Sure it has been a long rainy spell!! GEORGIA CAMPMEETINGS Among the earliest of my child hood recollections were concerned with Georgia camomectings. I had a young uncle, who made his home at our house for many years, where he was engaged as clerk and chief man in my father’s country store. My love for this uncle was surpass ing strong. I thought he was the dearest of all my playmates. Everything that interested me ap peared to interest him. Anyhow, that is the way it appealed to me. I felt like he would always be one of us and be mine. So it happened that I had my awakening at a campmeet ing. We had to go a long way and started in the cool of the morning. We arrived with the Crowd and it was a big one. Some time after we were- comfortably seated, and I was looking about me as children will do, somebody whispered, "There’s your Uncle John’s sweetheart. Won der how long until the wedding?” I was wide awake in an instant. There were many hundreds singing and en joying the scenes about them, but I ha! only eyes for one person in the multitude. I cared for nothing else. I watched her every motion. I' sidled up near her once or twice un til she perhaps understood my eager ness or whatever was moving my mind that day. 1 quizzed my mother off and on every opportunity. I did not dislike her, fortunately for my peace of mind, but I could think of nothing more important. It was one of the crowning events of my life at that early period, and in tne late autumn of my long life, I can still remember how she looked and my probable association with my uncle’s sweetheart filled my little self brimful of anticipation. And so it turned out all right. I loved her as hard as my young soul could take her in; to the day of her death, nevertheless, I had a feeling of disappointment. I had to take a lower seat in my uncle’s affection, where I had believed I held first place among his pets. Childish love is very importunate. I remember another big bush ar bor meeting when a big storm came over and we had to pack inside the nearby church, and I was lifted Up io a window at the close and handed to mv father’s waiting arms outside. I recall also that Dr. Alexander Means, Bishop Andrew, and Judge Longstreet were there and some ot them, maybe all three, went home with us to spend the night. They were great men m middle Georgia, great preachers and my delight was tumultous when they came to Decatur to preach, and would stay at our house often or occasionally as it happened. These camp meetings came along vear by year. Everdybody went, who could get there, if only for a day. Everywhere I have lived, be fore the war, we had these big campmeetings, until we had one for several years on our own land. here, which was turned into a military camp for training Confederate sol diers during the Civil war. We had a tent of our own and lived down there in the tent near the big spring which supplied all the people and later all the soldiers, with the purest of good water. How those dear Christian® would shout and how we could all sing the songs of Zion! All these things have been in my mind lately, for I have been to two camp meetings within the last week, and have enjoyed them much more than I am able to express. On Sunday, the fifteenth of August, my sister and myself were I LEMON JUICE j | FOR FRECKLES | t f I Girls!

There were thousands upon thousands who came and went during the days of the meeting. It was a great day and I heard one of the really great ser mons of my entire remembrance from a California preacher who de livered it from St. Paul’s sermon before King Agrippa. I once heard Dr. Andrew Lips comb preach .on the Life of St. Paul, and it stayed with me, but I shall never forget the California preach er’s disburse. Then again I attended the Pine Log camp meeting, here in my own county, where I have been going off and on for more than sixty-five years. I could feel in touch with the multitudes that have gone to their long home, where feet had so often trod upon this hallowed ground, when I was present, to hear them sing and pray.

I wish my dear Tri-Weekly readers could have shared these memorable occa sions with their aged scribe, who has loved them all so long and well. Auto Crosses Nation In Less Than a Week LOS ANGELES.—E.
