In developing an organization for livestock production, it is necessary to evolve a system to meet all the conditions brought about by the environment or by the economic situation. This at once establishes the fact that the farm organization cannot be hard-and-fast, but even within a limited area, will have to be exceedingly elastic. Consequently, an exact knowledge of conditions, not generally available, is required. It is true, that such knowledge has been gained by many farmers through experience, but it is generally of value only to themselves. However, if a permanent business is to be established, this knowledge must be utilized. It is desirable that the farm organization for livestock production should take into consideration a cash crop. As this crop would be variable, even in the limited area under discussion, the organization would vary somewhat. The general rule should be that the cash crop should contribute something to the livestock production; as, for example, the straw from small grain for either feed or bedding, or, cottonseed meal for feed, in the case of the cotton crop. One of the profits usually attributed to the livestock business is that coming from the manure. An advantage of having a cash crop connected with the livestock business is that the manure can be cashed through this crop and some estimate can be made of its value. As a matter of raising the crop producing power of the farm, no better place can be found than on a leguminous green manure crop. The area under consideration is exceedingly variable. The soils range from the sands and sandy loams of the Coastal Plain region to the rather heavy clays of the limestone sections. This variation in itself will change the organization, since it is not conceivable that the same methods could be used in the blue-grass sections of the limestone region and in the Coastal Plain. In elevation the variation is from sea level to 4,000 feet or more. The topography ranges from level plains to rugged mountains. The natural growth varies with these different conditions. The general type is that afforded by
