Text Appearing After Image:
GEORGIA: HISTORICAL AND INDUSTRIAL. 195 The following States, including Oklahoma Territory, not in the abovelist also raised some cotton: Virginia, 8,007 bales; Missouri, 17,275;Oklahoma, 66,555; Kansas, 188; Kentucky, 24; Utah, 26. A cotton crop does not necessarily deplete the soil more than other crops.But the fields, being left bare, are washed and leached by winter rains,and some of the best elements of the soil are withdrawn. A systematicrotation of crops would save this waste and preserve the fertility of theland. A judicious use of fertilizers will enormously increase the pro-ductiveness of the fields and correspondingly enlarge the profits of theplanter. The composting of commercial fertilizers with animal manures,marl, muck and cottonseed will greatly reduce the cost of fertilization.Ail the manurial resources of the farm should be saved under shelterthat they may be ready for application to the fields at the proper time.For every pound of lint produced there are two of seed
