320 Acres a Misfortune.
In the February American Mag
azine is an article on Arnold Mar
tin; whose farming system is be
ing investigated by the Govern
ment and who is considered the
best intensive farmer in America.
"The intensive methods pur
sued by him are of particular in
terest," we read. "The land is
kept busy from spring until fall.
At the last cultivation of potatoes
corn is planted between the rows.
A full crop of potatoes and a fair
crop of corn is produced from the
same ground. As many as seven
hundred bushels of potatoes and
seventy-five bushels of corn are
produced from each acre planted
in this way.
"After the potatoes ripen, the
corn keeps the weeds down. By
the time the corn needs the
ground, the potatoes are rice. and
the corn is in the shock before it
is time to dig the potatoes. Some
parts of the potato patch are
sown with millet and sorghum
just before the last cultivation.
This makes a good crop of feed
and does not hurt the potatoes.
Squashes are sometimes planted
in the same way. The onion
patches grow corn and melons,
which are planted in rows be
tween the onions.
"Part of the orchard is set with
small fruit and part is planted
with potatoes and truck. In dry
spells all the water that the wind
mill will pump is used for irriga
tion, and it is here that the in
tensive farming reaches its
height. The water from the well
flows directly to the ditches as
pumped. A little manure is scat
tered in the ditches to prevent
wasnmg. xne orchard at one
time contained 000 pear. 200
cherry, 800 peach and a few ap
pie trees. The trees are planted
in straight rows, and between the
trees are raspberry bushes, toma
toes, cabbage and sweet potatoes,
with beets close by. -
"Mr. Martin has said: 'Twentv
acres is all I want to farm. That's
enough land for any man: 320
acres is a misfortune, and G40
acres is a calamity.' "
