P1ANT SOME
MONEY CROP
Besides Cotton, Try Some of the
Small Grains, Such As
Wheat.
It is without question advisa
ble for the farmers of this j
county to plant some money crop
other than cotton. Just what
this crop should be is an indi
vidual question that can be an
swered only after some study of
the conditions which surround
each individual farmer. I am
sure, however, that one or rpore
of the small grains should be
sown now, if you have not al
ready seeded your land to them.
It will be a perfectly safe course
to follow, even if no machinery
for harvesting can be had next
spring, or if no milling com
panies are formed for handling
i v _• _ .f t
Ifltf ft, l. «** 11 ttllUI UllVUlllUfe,
If no grain crop whatever can
be harvested from your fall
seeding, you have still four good
.reasons for sowing, and four
sources of profit, viz: Winter
pasturage, winter cover crop,
green manure crop and hay
crop- Any one of these reasons
for seeding your land to fall
sown grain is sound, and the
profits sure, whether the money
comes as direct payment for
the pasturage and hay, or in
directly, through the increased
yield, due to the growing of a
winter cover crop on the turn
ing under of the plants as gree
manure.
It is easy to figure profits
from the hay and pasture, but
to some of us the advantage of
a winter cover crop seem vague.
However, concrete figures, taken
from infallible scientific data
reveal to us just how criminal it
is to leave our clean-cultivated
fields bare during the winter
months. Where a winter cover
crop is grown, the loss of nitro
gen through drainage water is
practically nil. On the other
hand, lands left bare through I
the winter months lose from
200 to 300 pounds of the most
costly plant foods. Figure the,
nitrogen as costing 15c to 20c j
per pound, and the profits of the
winter cover crop become more
tangible.
Some day you or your chil
dren will have to put back that
nitrogen ,and the price will
doubtless be higher. By all
means get something on the
land before it is too late, if you
have to steal the seed. Remem
ber that you are planting win
ter-growing crops for at least
five reasons, all of them good
^nd each one a full justification
in itself.
Consider also the fact that
the growing of this crop will in
no way interfere with the plant
ing of corn or cotton on the
same land next spring. It will
soon be too late and if you are
caught it will be because of
your inability to judge of a good
thing when it is before you. I
understand that even in the im
minence of this present crisis,
some landlords refuse to allow
their land to be let out for the
production of any crop besides
cotton.
Such short-sighted policy is
very nearly treason, and is cer
tainly a drag upon the progress
of our county. It is bad enough
to follow a system after its ser
vile decay sets in but to follow
it on into the grave, is surely
(the policy of a dead one.

May Establish Insurance De
j partment.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 10.—It is
probable that a bill will be in
troduced in the next General
I Assembly providing for the
organization of an insurance
department, distinct from the
State Auditor’s office, modeled
upon the the departments of
Missouri, New York and a
number of other states- It is j
contended that the importance
of the office has outgrown its
present restrictions, and that
it should have a broader scope,
and greater authority. The de
partment now does not cost
moi’e than $2,000 a year, while
other states spend many times
that amount on their insurance
departments, and accomplish
much more. The proper super
vision of the insurance business
ance to the insuring public. It
of the state is of great import
is proposed that the position
shall be made appointive and
not elective, so that it may be
removed as much as possible
from politics.
