FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4. Farmers of the South Must Plant Other Crops Beside Cotton FARMERS. ATTENTION! Means Diversified Farming. Washington, D. C.—The govern ment expects to aid the cotton men tn every possible way, but it has 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 efit to the south. Up to this time, they point out. it has been Almost impossible to get cotton growers to Plant other crops, but faced with the prospect of no market or a restrict- i We Are Prepared to Fit You Up From Head to Foot With New Fall Clothes, Shoes and Hats, and .

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.” Americans Warned of Paris Conditions Geneva, Switzerland (via Pari*, 5:50 a. m.) —Both the Amedlean and British ministers at Bertie have warned their nationals that the French railways are unable to guarantee communications be yond I’aris from today.
