B STSTEMAIIG SOIL BUILDING
SB Crop Rotation, Legumes, Drainage,
B and Fertilizers Important
Features.
m Clemson College, Dec. 26.?The valB
. Tie of a well-drained, fertile soil can
not be over estimated in fighting the
boll weevil, in the first place, a welldrained
soil is absolutely necessary to
success, as cotton will not make an
jj?- early growth on a cold wet soil. In
the second place, it has not been
found profitable to raise cotton on
poor land under boll weevil condiItions,
because the overhead expenses
are so great that it makes the cost of
fS production very high per pound of
cotton.
Some practices which have been j
found extremely important in supply- j
- ing and maintaining the fertility of '
the soil are suggested below.
Crop Rotation.?It has been found
that the fertility of the soil may be
maintained more easily and more eo
" onomically by a systematic crop roll
tation than it can be done without a?
rotation. The value of crop rotation
in keeping up the fertility of our land
can not be over-estimated.
The Clemson Colege agronomist*
? have worked out good rotations for
^ Various phases of farming in the different
sections of the state and will
g|g - gladly furnsh them upon request
Summer Legumes.?It is recom
Sgi mended that summer legumes oe
j|T v planted everywhere possible, and that
all such legumes as are not needed
for feed for livestock be plowed under
dor soil improvement. This will re?|
duce the fertilizer bill very materially
and at the same time will add much
valuable organic matter to our soils.
In a recent experiment conducted
j; by Clemson College at Allendale, S. C.,
where corn followed cotton, a yield of
15 bushels was secured without the
use of nitrogenous fertilizer. Where
? ;Corn followed a crop of velvet beans,
the same Dlot gave 37.7 bushels, show
I ing that the velvet beans supplied
practically all the nitrogen required
*. in the production of a good crop of
corn on a poor sandy loam soil.
_ Winter Cover Crops.?It is SJso important
to plant winter cover crops
on all land not otherwise occupied, as
these not only help to preserve the
fertility of the land and prevent washing
and leaching, but are also valuable
because the boll weevil can not
live through the winter in a green
cover crop, since he is unable to evaporate
sufficient moisture from his
body to enable him to stand the winDrainage
and Terracing.?It is impossible
to raise cotton satisfactorily
* * A " /-J in a/1 on/1 If
on ia.UU Ulttl IS pwn; uiaiucu, uuu iv
is impossible to build up the fertility
of land that is no. properly terraced.
Therefore, good drainage and proper
terracing are primarily essential to
successful crop producton under 'boll
weevil conditions.
B|| Lime Where Needed.?The use of
p lime is recommended where a good
system of crop rotation is being folfw
lowed and where green manure crops
1 and winter cover crops are being
grown and plowed under to increase
the organic matter in the soil. Lime
t ; will not be profitable to apply to
(Corn, COttOn, or small grams, cawv<>
under the conditions given above.
Livestock Manures and Commercial
Fertilizers, r? Commercial fertilizers
r shQuld be used judiciously, and all
the barnyard manure possible should
be applied to our farming land. Under
boll weevil conditions it has
been found that the earliest crop
(which under boll weevil conditions
^ is the best crop) is secured from properly
balanced fertilizer. It is important
to have enough of each element
in the soil to supply the needs of the
crop, and yet it is not wise to have
too much of any one element, for that
I'. will delay the maturity of the crop,
esneciallv is this true of nitrogen and
potash. Many experiments have shown
f that a little nitrogen gives a late
||?y; crop. It has also been found that too
little potash is likely to result in dam&
' : age from rust and too much potash
? Is likely to delay the maturity of the
crop.
The Extension Service and the
South Carolina Experiment Station
have issued from time to time various
% V- , publications that will help farmers
build better soils. One of the most
jpx important of these is Extension Bulletin
48, 'Tarming under Boll Weevil
0 Conditions,*' which can be secured
free from county agents or from the
Extension Service, uiemson

it, CO-OPERATION IN THE PRODUCTION,
STANDARDIZATION, AND
MARKETING OF FARM PRODU"
UCTS.
c
It is recognized that farmers need
* . and should have a larger share of the
consumer's (foliar paid for farm products.
To get this fanners need to
wvi-o Mttantion to uniformity in
UiVIV ?
p production, to proper standardization
of products, and to orderly distribu#
tion of products. These things can be
accomplished only by co-operation
through organization. The individual
farmer is seldom able to make satisfactory
market connection. Therefore
farmers are urged: \
(a) To perfect community organiza- j
Hons for uniform production through
the adoption of standard varieties,
standard containers, standard grades
etc.
(b) To organize co-operative marketing
associations on the commodity
basis l'or the proper grading, adequate
