Farmers Co Operative Work Boosts Southern Agriculture
B L Moss urges county farmers to cooperate with County Agricultural Commissioner J L Buchanan in Rankin County Mississippi. Since 1904 the cooperative demonstration program has grown to about 300 agents across the South, promoting proven methods from state experiments and the National Department of Agriculture to boost yields, soil health, and prosperity. The effort emphasizes diversification, better land preparation, crop rotation, cover crops, and increased hogs and cattle, aiming for more bales per acre and broader regional benefits. Buchanan, a Brandon Mississippi farmer, will establish 15 to 20 demonstration farms to showcase proper row circling, soil improvement, seed quality, fertilization, and water-erosion prevention.
