On Farm Os
Chipley Man
Six Hundred and Fifty Farmers
See Results of Ha ty’s Efforts
to Improve Soil
By John W. Hiunmond,
(Telegraph Staff Correspondent)
Chipley, Ga, April IL—Cotton
and corn oa i be raised on poor land
in Ga., without commercial fertili
z t, four t tu“S as productive; cat
tie mid hogs can bn raised and fat
tened without any corn. The
proof of h statement is the show
ing of tlr;. results claimed.
More than (>5() farmers from all
parts of the slate, and 1G agricul- 1
tural experts wereshowu that proof .
balay on lhe farm of Bob Hasty,
2 1-2 miles from Chipley, in llnr- 1
ris coiiniy. In lhe showing one I
easily could vis.ial'ze what the
farm Wan before Bub Lusty began
abotib i years ugo to apply his '
‘ jmil ci.ru” to tn ire than 200acres
of poor, clay Gti, furm laud. In i
fuel, the laud was so poor six years
ago, the tenunts ull left, and Fur
ther Hasty bad to go work lijmself i
ci irruon clover, y. flow mellilotue,
ami on the pasturelands, a t-prink- |
ling of rape t. Hi the story. A’d i
Farmer Hasty suy.a the only thing i
in the shup-' of feitilizsr he uses |
now, for hhv purpose at all, is u I
little acid, but under some of the <
I'orti he [ luiited lint year he used I
i otliing at all, mid didn’t even i
work it ufter it was up. The land i
on which it was planted, used to
grow Iron 8 tn 10 bushels to the
acre, the same land now is prodne- i
iug GO to 75 bushels to the acre, i
On adjoining laud, all treated the i
same way now, he used to gel 500 ,
pounds of seed cotton to the acre,
now he gets a minimum of 1,500 ■
o unde of seed cotton-and he usee
■‘only a little acid.”
The big part of the etiry is in
le fact that Hasty is intensely
interested m and enthusiastic ovei
fiis work, and the success he is
making, ‘h.d says so.
Experts Attend.
Today’s demonstration meeting
was workid up by J. F. Jackson,
general mjriculturul agent of Hie-
Central R.ilruad, J. F. Basemore,
agricultural agent lor the same
road, VV F. Turner, borticultural
ist for the Central and 'loeociaied
officials of the B tule college. Today
was set for the meeting because,
just at this time of the month of
April, Hasty’s method is to begin

gen on which he grows bis money
crops. Probably 1-3 of his plant
alion has been turned under ano
prepared for corn and cotton; tin

it would not bring any more
vlout. six yean ago tny tenants be
.an to get discouraged and left
the place, because they could bet
make anything. I was up against
i', and found I just had to do
something. People will criticize
and latigl , you know, when von try
to do som thing, they think, out
of the ordinary, and because I did
not want them criticizing me and
trying to send me to an asylum, I
began experimenting on that part
of the field away back from tl e
road. 1 put in veto!), and the thing
worked. The land produced ns it
bad never produced before, and
even then, the people around laugh,
ed about it, and said I didn’t know
bow to farm.”
Bigger Production
‘‘Well, anyhow, farm hands and
tenants from all around era now
anxious to get on the land. Last
year s results prove what it’ll do.
I got from (io to 75 bushels of corn
an acre, and on the black field I
got a bale of cotton to the acre; at
least, that land produced not lass
than 1, OJ pounds of seed cotton
an sore, when the best laud on the
whole place used to produce only
about S(XJ pounds.”

been covered, the parties buipg
personally conducted by both Has
ty and County Agent J. T. Cox,
every agri 'oltural expert or. the
place—there were fifteen of them
from G-i. mid AI a.--ox pressed the
conviciii n that "this is what every
farm in G i or Ala. needs —this
is the solution to farming in this
section.”
An ther Visit in Inly
The plan decided upon, after
today’s investigation of the place,
is that tin ve shall be a second vis
it to the farm the latter part of
July to ex mine the crons, which
will then be uu.ier cultivation and
advanced, on the lands today cov
red with the leguminous planting.
■‘About three days ago I ship
ped two carloads of hogs iff tl e
piact;jusi called them up and
loaded tin tn from the field. I got
12cts a pound for the meat. I haa
paid a run of 6 loBcU for it. The
cattle the same way. 1 pay 2 l-2cts
or 3ots a ib. for poor cattle, keep
it in the field a month and sell it
for 5 to 6ct°, with an added weight
of about 20J lbs. or more.
