Excerpt from The Southern Planter, Vol. 63: Devoted to Practical and Progressive Agriculture, Horticulture, Trucking, Live Stock and the Fireside; January, 1902

Now, all this means more grazing conditions on Southern farms, and grazing conditions are precisely what are wanted down there. The humus is taken out of the soil by perpetual cropping, the organic mat ter is exhausted, and the soil becomes incapable of re taining moisture, so that drouths are more destructive.

With a suitable per cent. Of the farm in grazing con dition and the observation of a system of rotation, much finer crops can be expected from the Southern farms. We are lookin g the world over for forage crops suitable to your conditions, and we have at the present time a great many such on trial, with a view to finding those proper for various localities and sending them out accordingly.

These thoughts occur to me hastily, and if they are worth using in The Planter, you are welcome to them.
