Pulling fodder is an farmers unwise procedure of our farm mane foot agement, it provides an excellent produce. feed, but it comes at a very high ry acre cost. The practice is quite general tied to throughout this state and others, j but when the farmers stop to count the cost, which comes not only in the labor involved but in the decreased yield of corn, we believe that the practice will become more unpopular. If you haven't a silo, or if it be impossible for you to shred your corn and thus utilize the entire plant, then of course the fodder will have to be stripped. The cotton may be at a good price, the price is not out of ratio | with the necessities of life. All things considered, one cannot grow 'cotton to buy food stuffs and prosIper. It is the better policy to pro duce enough food-stuffs to run the place and have some to spare than raise all the cotton yo can. TO PREPARE FOR BOYS CLUB WORK : Owing to the lateness of the season, not much can be done towards ! accomplishing anything in club work so far as this season's crop is concerned. However, now is the time to begin preparations for next 1 year's work. In the formation of the Boy's corn and pig clubs we should begin our plans now. For the corn club work, plans should be made now to provide a source of humus for next year's crop of' corn. As a source of humus, burr clover, crimson clover, or abruzzi rye, would give most satisfactory results. By all means plan to have one of these crops seeded in September on the land selected for planting another year. The cover crop will provide j humus for conserving moisture for " * * * - ' Vx 1 Ml [the crop in time or arougnt ana wm 'enable you to get better results from the fertilizer used. It would be a mistake to begin !thg pig club work without arranging for the necessary feed-tsuffs to carry the pigs through the winter and afford grazing for the early spring months. It is not too late to plant Spanish peanuts, to set potatoes, or to plant sorghum for fall and winter feeding. If any of these crops are I to be planted, we should seed them right away because the season will jsoon be too late. In September i grazing crops should be seeded to ! provide winter and spring pasturage. jFor this purpose Dwarf Essex rape, crimson clover, abbruzzi rye, or a combination of the three will give satisfactory pasturage.
