Fo) AGRICULTURE. END COMMISSIONER: PUBLISHED BY THE BUREAU OF MARKETS | 5 STATE CAPITOL ATLANTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1934. LAND EROSION : _ Probably carelessness as to terraces and ditches on mur hillside land has cost us farmers more than anything else. Rain after rain has carried to the sea millions and uillions in fertile virgin soil. soil? Should not those who come after us be considered? Fifty years ago we could abandon worn out land and clear more virgin soil, but we have reached the limit now, and our only recourse is to reclaim our open land. _ This is not easy to replace. It takes 400 years for na- re to build back wasted soil. We can hasten this, but it done at considerable cost, often far more than the orig- nal cost of the land. : : ; Governor Talmadge gave some sane advice the other day when he told the farmers to haul leaves and straw or other litter on the land. The Germans keep half the coun- try in forests to supply the fields with litter. Do all this you | can and de not fail to sow all the rye, Austrian peas and | vetch possible at once. This will conserve the soil from erosion, furnish food and double the yield of crops for Many people are living on their own poor farms that could benefit by leaving and renting good land from oth- ers. We cannot make a living trying to grow crops on galls and gullies. _ Most of the plant food must be in the soil or we could not afford to farm at all. It requires 60 pounds of nitrogen to grow 30 bushels of corn per acre. If we supplied all this, it would take a ton of 9-3-3 guano. If we use only 400 next year. _ Georgia has great possibilities, but agriculture in our state has been greatly neglected. Sensible, sane farming | would give to all our people a comfortable living with abundant luxuries. Doles and relief of all kinds could be J dispensed with as far as our state is concerned. The horn pounds to the acre, then the soil must contain the equal of 1600 pounds. Does this generation h ain and Hay For Sale 300 bu.
