of the cotton gin, the price of
cotton ruled high, and as this
Was about the only crop that
would bring in ready money,
and upon which the farmers
could get advances of rations,
feedstuffs and clothing, they
.turned their attention to cotton
raising under the crop mortgage
plan. This forced the South into
a one-crop system, and it was
not unusual to see cotton plant
ed on the same land owned thir
ty years in succession. This of
course, depleted the soil, and its
reclamation can be had by stock
raising as well as by diversifica
tion.
There is so much land in the
South that is not used for agri
cultural purposes that cattle
raising may be carried on with
great ease and profit. The in
troduction of cover crops and
other nourishing grasses has
j progressed rapidly, which has
enriched the soil, and at the
same time furnished food for
I stock. m
; As wealth comes to the South
^ ern planter he takes advantage
of all new ideas, and at present
is building silos, which insure
not only an easy way of harvest
, ing his forage crops, but it gives
him what amounts to an abund
ant green pasturage the year
through, upon which his stock
may grow and fatten. The cat*
tie tick is being eradicated, "and
the ailments which afflicted the
Southern cattle in the past are
coming more and more under
the control of science.
The South for years to come is
destined to occupy an important
position in the meat supply of
Southern Catyle.
The department of agriculture
at Washington has issued its
year book, which is filled with
interesting facts and figures,
and mjuch splendid advice. In
discussing the beef supply, the
department finds that the South'
can produce more cattle and pro
duce it more cheaply than any
other section of the whole coun
try, because of cheap lands,
abundant grasses and long pas
ture seasons, together with in
expensive shelter during the
short winter months. It is
pointed out that during slavery
the South had cattle, hogs and
sheep on every plantation, and
some of these were good beef
animals, containing an infusion
of shorthorn blood. In those
days the South supplied herself
with meat.
At the close of the war there
were but few cattle left, and
these were bred among them
selves without the addition of
any new blood, which resulted in
a class of native cattle that was
small, slow of growth and of
very low quality of beef. South
ern farmers were discouraged
about bringing in highgrade ani
mals from* the North, because
86 per cent of them died the
i first year from disease which
was then not understood. With
free labor and the introduction
