Southeastern Farmers Are Holding to Cotton, Declares Editor Leech BY E. T. LEECH, Editor, The Memphis Press ‘’Sure they’re holding—tight as a drum.” That’s the way Lem B. Jackson, director of the market bureau of the Georgia department of agriculture, sized up the “veiling strike” of cot ton farmers throughout the south eastern United States, when I saw him in Atlanta. And Jackson’s picture of the sit uation agrees with what I have heard in other southeastern cities, notably Mobile and Montgomery. Regardless of what cotton farmers of other states may do, growers of Alabama, Georgia. North and South Carolina have embarked on what is apparently a sink-or-swim battle to force up the price of raw cotton by refusing to sell their crop. Only such “distress cotton” as cannot be held is being sold, and it is a small quantity. How long they will be able to to hold, if the price doesn’t go up, nobody hazards a definite guess. Want Cut in Acreage Despite disappointments in pre vious years, southeastern states are again all wrought up over a scheme to bring about i drastic reduction in cotton production next year. Ef forts are being made, chiefly through the instrumentality of the American Cotton assignation, which is most strongly organized in this section, to pledge farmers to a one third reduction in cotton acreage next year, and to get bankers and business' men to agree not to finance the growing of more than two-thirds of this year’s crop. I have just completed a trip which has taken me into Tennessee, Ar kansas, Oklahoma. Texas, Missis sippi, Louisiana,'Alabama and Geor gia. I have run into enough differ ent schemes to remedy the cotton situation to hold the attention of the farrraers from now till the Judgment i Day, if they were all tried out. ' Bint, though they differ in details, practically all of them have certain fundamental characteristics which are alike, and out of the wholesale preaching and propaganda and or ganization now in full swing, inevit able good "will result. Three Results If the fundamental principles of these plans are carried out, the cot ton gp-owing states within the next few yiears will: 1 — Raise their own food and feed crops. 2 Market their cotton in some sort of co-operative way so that some of the middlemen’s profits are elimi nated. 3 Become more independent of eastern financial control by wiping out, to some degree, at least, the debt system under which tenant farmers are usually forced to sell their cotton in one brief period of the year in order to pay off their rent or mortgages and through financing of the marketing and ex porting of cotton with southern money. t Regardless of what may ippen to this year’s crop, the southern states are today going through an agricul tural change which will eventually prove of tremendous importance to them and to the nation at large. For the first time in her history, the cotton belt is on the verge of becom ing a food belt, also. Soap Substitutes Are Recommended In Certain Cases When the action of soap is likely to injure a delicate color, use soap brick, starch water, or bran water, advise home economics specialists of the United States department of ag riculture. Soapbark, although not a soap, when heated in water will form suds. To prepare it for use, boil for ten minutes a cup of the bark with one quart of yyater; then cool and strain the liquid. The “soapy” wa ter may be used full strength for sponging, or diluted for washing: half of this amount is enough for one-half tubful of water. Since the liquid is brownish, it should be used only on dark-colored goods. Starch water is especially good for cleaning delicate cotton fabrics. This is usually made by adding thin starch paste to the wash water. Wa ter in which rice has been boiled, if it is not discolored, may be used in stead. If it is not desirable to have the material starched slightly, it must be rinsed in salt water. Bran water, made in the same way as soapbark solution, is useful with colors that are likely to fade. It does not give suds, but cleans like starch water. Gets Great Results From Crop of Vetch Mr. F. Lee Gaines, a young farmer of Townsville, S. C„ who farms in Anderson and Oconee counties, has secured some remarkajjje results with vetch and oats as a cover crop. Ac cording to a recent report of George R. Briggs, Oconee county agent, Mr. Gaines will average over a bale per acre on upwards of 100 acres of cot ton. One field will average proba bly 1 1-2 bales per acre. A tenant share-cropper made twenty-two bales on 16 acres in 1919. On still another field sixteen bales were harvested as compared with a harvest of only three bales from the same field just four years ago. Vetch and oats made the difference. M". Gaines turned under vetch and oats four feet high last spring, ana his neighbors thought he was crazy, but he told them to wait and see. And they did see. Mr. Gaines sows vetch and oats in the cotton fields in the fall, and while there is slight damage to the cotton, he does not worry over this damage for he is repaid for it a hundred fold in ben efits from the clover crop. His farm is becoming a sort of mecca for other farmers who visit it to see what he is accomplishing, and what they see is more eloquent than words. Timely Advice Given By Clemson College CLEMSON COLLEGE, S. C.—The grape vines should be pruned before January Ist. This is to lessen the danger of bleeding, which is very detrimental to the muscadines. Old vines trained to an arbor will stand a severe cutting back, which is nec essary to produce a good vigorous growth and to maintain fruit pro duction. The muscadine grape will produce the best results when trained to a trellis, using three wires instead of two as in training the “bunch” va rieties. Posts should be at least 8 to 9 feet in lengt'-, and set 2 to 3 feet in the ground. The wire should be 2 feet apart on the posts, jwhich should be 16 feet apart. The 'vines should be set at least 25 feet apart in the row. For early cabbage Early Jersey Wakefield are excellent varieties, and should be planted in an open furrow before December Ist. Suc cession is an excellent mid-season variety. AX d SUCCESSFUL FARMING I Dr AwrewK Sovle !!££=£ A OangariJus Insect Have you met the bean ladybird beetle? This is a new beetle which threatens to prove very destructive to the growh of leguminous crops throughout the southern states. This insect goes also by the name of the spotted bean beetle, and. up to the present time, has donW its chief damage to the crops of tiie southern states. It has proven particularly destructive to the bean crop. It threatens to become widely dissemi nated through every southern state and to prove as much of a menace so our bean and other leguminous crops as the Colorado potato beetle did some years ago to the Irish po tato crop of the United States. This beetle is different from the other members of the bean ladybird family in that it lives by choice on vege tables. Practically all of the other members of this family live on aphids or plant-lice and small, soft bodied larvae of other insects. In general appearance the bean ladybird beetle is hemispherical or broadly oval in outline. It is only about a quarter of an inch in length. In color, it is a yellowish brown and each wing case bears eight black spots, three near the top/ where the wings join the body, three about the middle and two near the end. This beetle came co us from Mex ico. It is not a newcomer, and it has been known to inhabit the United States since 1864. In 1883 it did its first serious damage to farm crops in this country when it attacked the wax bean fields of Colorado. • This beetle is now well established in western Texas, New Mexico and Ari zona. It has alsa infested parts of Kansas and Arkansas and some other of our western states. It has ap parently made its appearance in a considerable section of Alabama rath er recently. Its depredations have proven so widespread that an effort is now being made through the es tablishment of a state and federal quarantine to completely eradicate and destroy it before it gets a foot r.old in Alabama. Just as certainly as it establishes itself there it will soon reach Georgia. There appear to be no authentic reports on file in dicating its presence or discovery in this state as yet. It is for this pur pose that the present article is writ ten because our farmers should know about the danger of the state’s becoming infested by this pest. If they are on the watchout for it, its presence should be quickly discover ed, and, in that event, it should be immediately reported in order that some concerted effort may be made to control its spread. This beetle literally devours all of the bean plant leaves, flowers and growing pods during its larval and adult stages.- Naturally, its princi pal damage is done to the foliage. As a rule, it makes its first appear ance early in June or July. A new brood or generation of beetles de velop in September and October. It passes the winter in the adult stage. The eggs are very small and are laid in large clusters on the under-side of the bean leaves. The eggs are yellowish brown and readily recog nized. The larva is a little longer when fully grown than the mature beetle and is somewhat yellow in color. Its body is well covered with long, stout, branched spines. The feeding is qhiefly done on the upper surface of the leaves. The life history of this insect ap pears to be about as follows: The eggs are deposited during the early part of June and up until August 1 on the under side of the leaves of the bean plant . There are from fif teen to seventy-five eggs in each bunch. A single female may lay as many as 1,500 eggs. The larvae as a rule feed in colonies. The life cycle in the warmer part of the year covers a period of twenty to thirty days. The eggs require from four to nine days in which to hatch. The larval period is completed in from fifteen to twenty-one days. The pu pal period varies from three to six days. There are two broods annually. There are two means of fighting the beetles. The first is that known as natural control. Up to the pres ent time it has been ascertained that the eggs of this particular beetle are attacked and destroyed by three kinds of beneficial or protective lady bird beetles. Hand-picking and brushing from the plants, clean cul ture and early and late planting are other means of control which have proven of considerable benefit. Ar senicals have not proven especially effective though possessed of some killing properties. They act as re pellents in the case of this beetle. Beetles which have hibernated should be destroyed immediately, their pres ence is evidenced in early June. The larvae can be destroyed in large numbers by knocking them off the plants. If this is done in dry weath er they will seldom be able to get back to their favorite feeding ground. Large numbers of this wee vil pass the winter under pea vines and trash which may have accumu lated on terraces or along fence rows. The number of weevils can be largely reduced by burning such trash in the late fall or early spring. The effective work in fighting this pest will be achieved through destroying as many of them as pos sible during the hibernating period. Effective work in fighting this pest can be accomplished by planting beans either extraordinarily early in the spring or rather late in the sea son. This can frequently be ac complished by putting forth a little special effort relative to the prepara tion of the ground in the fall for the spring crop. A fall crop of beans can often be produced after the two generations of weevils have been matured. The one thing to be cer tain about in fall planting is to seed in sufficient time to permit maturity of the beans before frost occurs. If the practice of early and late plant ing were carefully followed up in communities where the bean lady bird beetle has established herself, much could be done to diminish th< number which could possibly survive the winter season. This then con stitutes one of the cheapest and most effective ways of fighting this pest. Spraying for the destruction of the weevil must be done with skill and care. Under no circumstances can Paris green be applied to the foliage of the bean crop. This is due to the fact that the leaves of the bean plant are injured by the slightest trace of free arsenic. When this insect was first met with in most localities, it was supposed that the free use of arsenical poisons would control it. As a result, great damage was done to the crop on many farms and plan tations. There are arsenical poisons which can be used on beans, how ever, with Impunity, provided certaiif well defined formulas are used. It is safe to apply two pounds of ar senate of lead, arsenite of zinc, or calcium arsenate. If it first be dis solved in fifty gallons of water or Bordeaux mixture, a lighter dosage will often prove quite as effective. It is a saving and an economy, therefore, to use it. Only the verv best quality of arsenate should be used for spraying the bean crop The frequent complaints of Injury by burning when not over two pounds to fifty gallons of water had been used are undoubtedly due to the in ferior quality of much of the insec ticide material on the market at the present time. In conclusion, therefore, the fight against the bean ladybird beetle should be conducted on the follow ing basis: First, if one has planted large areas of beans, the field should be inspected very thoroughly from time to time. Outbreaks begin in small areas. When these can be as certained, the infested sections can be treated promptly and the multi plication and spread of the beetle held in check. It is at such times as this that the use of insecticides and all other methods of fighting the pest which have been outlined above should be put promptly into effect. Efficient work under «uch circumstances wtil probably mean j the saving of the crop, while neg- ; lect is almost certain to result i its complete destruction. Where one is growing beans in the ■ garden, hand-picking as soon as the ' beetle emerges from hibernation ! should be vigorously pursued This ' can be accomplished, I know, because this beetle does about the same kind of damage as the Colorado beetle to the Irish potato. If one picks ahd destroys the potato bugs when they first appear, it may not even be necessary to spray the potatoes, but if they are allowed to get a start, then it will take a vigorous and long-continued fight to hold them in check. During the hot summer weather, the beetles and the larvae In particular should be brushed or knocked off the young plants. This will result in thousands of them be ing destroyed before they can get back on the bean stalks. One should also proceed this fall and winted to clean up weeds and trash of all kinds. Do not leave the beetle in quarters in which it can hibernate successfully during the fall and win ter months. While burning is not to ; be generally recommended, it may be necessary from time to time in or- , der to insure the prompt and com- ' plete destruction of these weevils. Where plants are badly Infested, they may be sprayed with arsenate of lime or arsenate of zinc. These materials may be used at the rate of one and a quarter pounds to fifty gallons of water. Where arsenate of lead is used, two pounds should be dissolved in fifty gallons of water." Making a Mixed FeedAat Home J. E. D., Bainbridge, Ga., writes: I have large quantities of velvet beans and field peas in the hull, corn in the ear, and bagasse. I wish to grind this up and feed to cattle and mules. Please tell me in what propor tion I should mix them for a good standard feed. There are almost innumerable ways In which food such as you de scribe could be mixed together and /produce a fairly satisfactory ration for cattle and mules. You should bear in mind that the requirements of cattle and mules are different. Cattle being ruminating animals can consume and utilize much larger quantities of coarse rough fodder than mules. The digestive organs of mules are much smaller than those of cattle; hence they must have a more concentrated ration. In preparing a ration for cattle I would proceed as follows: Take 600 pounds of corn in the ear; add to it 400 pounds of velvet beans in the hulls; grind these together and mix with an equal weight of bagasse. I pre sume the bagasse is dried out or else you would have to make this mixture each day in order to keep it from souring and fermenting. The best thing for you to do with ba gasse would be to run it into the silo; then you could keep it in a succujent condition and feed as much of it to your cattle as they would eat up daily with enough of the mixed grain ration outlined above to meet their requirements. If you de- only to carry the cattle through the winter, then about four pounds of the above mixture of grain with as much bagasse as they will eat up clean should be a sufficient amount of concentrates to use for mainten ance purposes. On the other hand, if you wish to finish them off, or if you are feeding dairy cows, then you should feed from 12 to 16 pounds of the foregoing grain mixture. On account of the corn husks and cob and the vines and hulls of the beans this would only be equivalent to feeding about 6 to 8 pounds of grain. It is of course expected that the amounts of grain indicated will be fed in proportion to the live weight of the animals. All rations as rec ommended are on the basis of 1,000 pounds of live weight. If the ani mals weigh less a smaller proportion should be/ fed, and if they weigh more a larger amount should be used. In the case of mules we do not think you will find bagasse very satisfactory as a form of roughage. Shredded corn stover, mixed peavine and millet or sorghum hay, and hay from tame grasses which you may have cut and stored will prove far more satisfactory to use with this class of live stock. You should give your work stock all of this rough age they will eat up and clean and then feed them a mixture of grain made up as follows: Corn in the ear 700 pounds; velvet bean meal, 300 pounds. The amount of this mix ture to use will vary from 12 to 16 pounds per day, depending on the age and size of your mules and the character of work they are doing. When they are at hard work give the larger amount, and when they are standing idle not over 10 to 12 pounds need be used. XTotes on Becan Cultivation W. D. H., Waynesville, Ga., writes: Please give me all the information you can about the cultaire of pecans, and what va rieties you would suggest as best suited for our coastal plains soil. The pecan tree grows in a wide va riety of soils and is well adapted for cultivation in Couth Georgia. Its natural habitat is the rich bottoms along streams and rivers. One may naturally expect it, therefore, to ob tain its most vigorous growth and to produce its largest crops on soils which are naturally above the aver age in fertility. Jt, of course, does best on land which is well drained and on which there is a free circula tion of air. We do not think you will find it very profitable or desir able to plant pecan trees on very sandy soils which are naturally leachy. This type of soil does not retain plant food well or resist drought satisfactorily. Os course, such soils may be made rich to a certain extent through the use of leguminous crops and abundant sup plies of yard manure, but even then we do not regard this type of land as especially well suited to the growth of pecan trees. There are, no doubt, areas of soil of the type we have recommended in your sec tion of the state and upon these pe can orchards should prove profitable. Pecan trees should be planted from forty to sixty feet apart, de pending on the richness of the land. Intertilled crops may be grown flor several years if the soil is unusually rich. A part of these crops should be turned under so as to supply the land with the needed vegetable mat ter. Such intertilled field crops as may be grown should be fertilized after the method you ( would normal ly follow. Pecan trees, when first set out, may or may not need to be fertilized. If the land is relatively low in nitrogen, we think the use of a minimum of five pounds of ferti lizer per tree will be desirable. This should be put in a circle around the tree after it has been set. Work the fertilizer into the surface soil. A formula containing 3.5 per cent of nitrogen, 10 per cent of phosphoric acid and 4 to 5 per cent of potash should prove satisfactory. The trees may be fertilized each year with a formula of the same composition. TnC amount applied should be in creased until in four or five years as much as 10 to 12 pounds per tree should be applied. Quite a variety of nuts may be planted. Among those recommend ded for use in your section of the state are the Stewart, Curtis, Brad ley, Pabst and Success. The Frots cher and Moore are also favorites on account of their productiveness Among the other varieties regarded with more or less favor are the Del mas, Mobile. Money Maker, Schley, Van Deman and Nelson. The Nelson is a very large nut, but it does not fill out well, and the Schley has a I tendency to scab; otherwise it is a very good nut for cultivation in your section of Georgia. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, l»20. MOTOR TRUCKS HELP ESTABLISH DIRECT MARKETS A large amount of farm produce is marketed by the use of motor trupks. While a relatively small amount of this marketing is done direct to consumers, many persons have made ase of motor trucks in their direct marketing Producers who live near to cities often can market advantageously direct to consumers If they obtain orders for sufficient produce at one time to warrant the use of a truck. This can be done especially In seasons when consumers desire sufficient ajf ples. potatoes, and similar articles so ra winter’s supply A man who lives near Providence, R. 1., for several months every au tumn obtains orders for sufficient produce to require two or three trips a week with a motor truck. His orders are obtained from old customers and by advertising. Dou ble or return postal cards are sent to old customers. The first half of the card gives information and prices, while the return card bears the •address of the producer on one side and an order blank on the other side. All that is necessary for the, consumer to do is to fill out the blanks with proper quantities, prices, and total amount, sign his name and address, and mail the card. New customers are obtained by the recommendations of old custom ers and by advertising. Small but attractive advertisements are placed in newspapers. Consumers are re quested to order by postal card or telephone. Payment for produce ,is collected upon delivery. The loads of produce average about 1 ton in weight. Apples, potatoes, and cider are the principal articles sold. About 15 or 20 stops on routes about 25 mile® in length are made in disposing of a load of produce. This method of marketing requires more time than to market whole sale, but many persons who are located favorably can market in this way at a slight additional expense and deliver to the consumer pro duce which is loaded at the farm and not handled until it is delivered in the consumer’s cellar. Surest Cure for Egg-Eating Hens Is Reliable Ax Egg eating sometimes becomes a serious vice in a flock, the fowls be coming very fond of eggs when thev have learned to eat them. The hab it spreads from fowl to fowl and unless checked will often spread through the whole flock. Egg eat ing usually begins through accident by eggs being broken or frozen. See that the nests are properly supplied with straw or other nesting mate rial and have them darkened, so that if an egg is accidentally brok en the fowls will not be likely to discover it. Supply plenty of lime in the form of oyster shells, bone, or similar substances to insure a firm shell. As soon as it is discov ered that a fowl has formed the habit, the fowls should be removed to prevent the spread of the vice. Once formed, it is difficult to erad icate, and the safest remedy is the death penalty, say poultry special ists of the United States department of agriculture. Fowls sometimes pluck feathers from themselves and from each oth er. This is often caused by too close confinement, by the presence of in sect pests, or by improper feeding. When some of the fowls a flock have' formed the habit slightly, a wide range with a change of diet, including a plentiful supply of ani mal feed, and freedom from insect pests, will usually correct the evil. Above all, see that the fowls have plenty of inducement to exercise. If the habit becomes well formed it is very troublesome and may necessi tate the killing of some of the fowls in order to stop it. Cotton sold in large quantities of even-running quality commands a premium in price over cotton sold in small and mixed lots. Os course the individual grower with a few bales of cotton can never hope to secure the advantage of selling in large, even-tunning lots, except by making up these larger lots with the help of neighbors, and this can be done best through co-operative mar keting organizations.

And, Indeed, it is an Illustrious chapter in the agricultural history of this great state. Never were there finer displays of farm and home produce and con veniences brought together. Unlimit ed in class and variety were the as sembly Y»f the produce of the soil. Marvelous -and stunning in quantity and quality were most of the ax hibits. No better swine and poultry show has ever been held in the south. Hogs and chickens as fine as they grow were to be seen. When we realize that Florida growers made an almost clean-sweep of the Durocs and Po land-Chinas. we of Florida are over come with pride and joy. For a time we were somewhat doubtful of our state’s place in the swine world arid pessimistic of Florida’s future as a great swine pro ducer. The fair served to remove that veil of doubt and pessimism. Seeing in believing. We saw/ Now we believe. We now look forward to the day fwhen swine breeders will turn their faces to Florida as they have turned them to lowa.and Indi ana and lillinois and Kansas in the past. That day is our tomorrow. The home demonstration depart ment at the fair had a most interest ing display. In it was represented all the various products of the state in fruits and vegetables, canned, pre served and jellied. To one not ac quainted with the possibilities of Florida along this line, this exhibit was a revelation. No particular product could .be sin gled out as best. All were good. The guava display attracted considerable attention, however. It was shown in all the different styles kept and util ized by the housewife. All the canned products were pre pared and. arranged attractively ap pealed to the visitor. The home dem onstration products within the vari ous county exhibits stood out as es pecially conspicuous. The winning county owes much to its home dem onstration agent. The number of counties having these special displays in the home demonstration corner, gives an indication of the scope of the work in the state. The exhibit by the dairy specialist. Miss Mae Morse, at the fair was an eyeopener. She had three pairs of rats in cages side by side. One pair had been fed on an unbalanced food: another pair on ordinary balanced food; another pair on well balanced food. There was no comparison be tween the two extremes. The rats living on the unbalanced food re minds one so much of the hundreds of little fellows we see every day who we know do not get enough milk. One often sees small children in what is called poor health. We say they have hookworms, or malaria, or some other trouble.
