Farmers of the South Must Plant
Other Crops Beside Cotton
FARMERS. ATTENTION!
Means Diversified Farming.
Washington, D. C.—The govern

been suggested that with a large
part of this jear's crop stored in
warehouses, it will be useless for
planters (o plan for full crops next
year. It was said today suggestions
would be made to the cotton grow
ers to try other crops. Economists
here believe that if this experiment
is tried, it may prove the great ben

they point out. it has been Almost
impossible to get cotton growers to
Plant other crops, but faced with the

“ALFALFA ON EVERY FARM.’'
State Agricultural Board Carries a New
Slogan to Growers.—“ The Farmer’s
Gold Dollar Twins Are Ccrn and Al
falfa, You Need Both,’’ the Speakers
Tell the Farmers in Ray County.
Richmond, Mo.—“ Alfalfa on every
farm.” That Is the slogan of a corps
of rapid-fire speakers who are putting
on in Ray county, under the direction of
the Missouri State Board of Agriculture,
a iiniqquo and effective institute cam
paign.
The unique feature is taking the mes
sage to the farm. A dozen speakers,
led by Jewell Mayes, secretary of the
state board, go direct to the farms. On
the front lawn, in the road or under a
convenient tree, they stop and talk it
over with their hearers and test their
soils for acidity and lime if they desire.
“Every farm in Missouri should have
a field of alfalfa,” declares Prof. P. Li.
Holden, head of the agricultural exten
sion department of the International
Harvester Company. “And every farm
could have. 'I ae main thing in the
growing of alfalfa is determination. The
man*who decides t > grow it will grow it.
if he persists intelligently, ami when he
does so ho will have the greatest crop
in the world.
“The gold-dollar twins for the farmer
are corn and alfalfa and he needs one
as bad as the other.” *
URGES ATTENTION TO
WINTER GApDEN.
Carbery Says Seasonable Work May Re
duce Materially Cost of Family Table.
Columbia'. S. C. James Carbery of
Rock Hill, agent for the mill vl lage
work, has written a letter to all local
demonstrators in mill villages in South
Carolina, urging upon them to push the
winter garden campaign, as “from the
THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUUUSTA, GA-
present outlook the high cost of living
will continue to int i-ease." hi oVtio to
overcome this condition partially he
outlines plans for making a winter gar- (
den successful.
“Where possible.” lie writes, “se
lect a well drained and sheltered loca
tion sloping to tlie soutli or east. Thor
ough preparation of a good seed bed
can not be too strongy emphasized.
Use well rotted stable manuYe which
pcrmanetly builds up the soil. In the
absence of stable manure, use a high
grade fertilizer.”
Mr. Carbery also gives a list of tho
most popula winter vegetables that can
he grown successfully in this state, lie
names celery, parsnips, salsify, collards,
cabbage, lettuce, boots, radishes, spin
ach, kale, nuistaVd, parsley, turnips, on
ions and carrotß.
PLAN OATS THIS WINTER
Best Money Crop for Southern Farmers.
Columbia, S. C. —W. \Y. Long, stale
agent in charge of farm demonstration
work for the United States department
of orgrh’tilture in co-operation with
Clenison College, said yestcYda\ that the
framers of South Carolina ought to con
sider in the present emergency what
they would plant for a money crop next
year after they reduced their cotton
acreage. l)r. Long suggested that oats
would be the most available crop.
Oats the Bq£s Crop.
“That crop Is oats We must remem
ber that the amount of potash on hand
is exceedingly limited and the crop or
crops grown must be ones that can be
produced with the least amount of fer
tilizer on our present cotton fields. It
will be well to mention here that the
potash mines of Germany are owned by
the government and though peace may
come at any early date the German gov
ernment will take advantage of the sit
uation and will make the most out of
this profitable source of revenue. There
fore we have every reason to expect
that we will have to pay exorbitant
prices for potash for some time to
come.
"We are recommending the seeding of
a large acreage of oats, for the Yoason
as above mentioned, and for the tal
lowing other reasons: In the event that
war continues, as has been predicted by
men high in authority, for the next year
or possibly two years oais will furnish
us a most profitable source of revenue,
for those countries must, have feed for
their live stock. if, however, peace
should be declared within the next few
months, and by chance the situation
clears up, we will have a magnificent
winter cover crop to turn under and till
the depleted cotton lands with vegetable
matter, the value of which can not he
estimated, for it is well known that de
caying organic matter makes available
tho raw potash which is already in the
soil, placed there by nature when the
soil was formed years ago. thus prepar
ing for economical production of cotton
to meet tho low price which we may
expect for some little time. It will he
the begining of a diversified agricul
ture, for the growing of gralti means the
preparation for the coming of live stock,
thus helping to solve the boll weevil
problem.
Oats Advancing.
“Tt is interesting to note that the
price of oats is advancing daily. We
urge the farmers to give this matter
serious consideration. There is no crop
that we can grow as cheaply and suc
cessfully as the oat crop if it is seeded
properly the latter part of September
and in the month of October.
“Dr. Cyril G. Hopkins when on his
recent visit to South Carolina told me
that South Carolina was a much better
oat state than Illinois. Certainly this
coming from such an authority should
give ns confidence In on I .' ability to
grow successfully Hits important crop.
•‘ln conclusion, let me repeat my rea
sons for the shove suggestions: First,
it is a crop that every one can grow;
second, it will reduce the cotton acre
age; third, It will furnish a source of
revenue as a market crop nr ns a green
manure crop to turn under; fourth, it
call he grown with a minimum expen
diture for fertilizers; llftri. under war
conditions, if they continue, there wlll
be a great demand at a profitable
ra-lce.”

The Emergency Value of Big Organization
111/HEN a real catastrophe happens to a telephone system;
" ™ when a fire destroys an exchange and the terminal appa
ratus, or a storm lays low the pole line*, the value of a big or
ganization is quickly shown.
When a conflagration swept the city of Chelsea, Mass., it
burned the Bell Telephone exchange and destroyed the tele
phone equipment.
The next day a temporary central stat‘ n was established,
amid the ruins, and the service restored.
With similar promptness telephone service was re-estab
lished in Baltimore, San Francisco and Bangor, and after the
more recent disasters in the Middle West.
To meet great emergencies, complete switchboards and ap-
Raratus valued at over SIOO,OOO are kept at Chicago and

for help comes from any part of the organization.
