Close upon the heels of Judge

of cotton per acre. This is all as
it should be. The larger yield we
get per acre the oheaper we can
grow the cotton.
But we wish to call attention to
the fact that just at this time it
is far more important to ibe study
ing how we may iuorease the
yield of oorn per aore.
There is no soaroity of cotton.
But there is a great scarcity pf
corii. All over the South we will
be compelled to buy corn for this
season. There are some local ex
ceptions, but that is the general
condition.
Last year was not a good corn
year. We did not get an average
crop. The average for the South
ern States is entirely too low even
when we - JR
raise a full yield. The South does Jones, Wimberly Hudson. ,

of home-raised corn. We need a
double quantity of corn. It will
•take twice as much as we usually
make to meet the demands for
next season and bring about a
condition of plenty and full pros
perity. Every farmer should in
crease his acreage and make every
effort to increase his yield per
acre.
First, we should select our best
land for corn. This is' not the
custom, but it should be. Then
we should give this land extra
preparation. Corn needs a deep
soil. -Its roots grow long and pen
etrate deep down in the soil in
search for water and food. They
will go from six to seven feet
deep if no hard-pan interferes.
