Alfalfa was grown by a few farmers, not in all cases with success. 
Soy beans were grown by only a few farmers, as a hay crop or in corn 
for silage. Only a few acres of cowpeas were planted in the area. A 
few acres of kafir corn, millet, sorghum, or oats for hay were grown by 
a majority of the farmers as auxiliary hay crops. These crops are 
designated in the table as '•Other hay." On practically every farm 
an acreage was devoted to apples. These, however, on most of the 
farms are receiving little attention and the trees are dying out, the 
orchards being used for the production of other crops or for pas- 
ture. Peaches, likewise, have been unsatisfactory and are not being 
replanted. " Other crops" in the table includes potatoes, sorghum 
for sirup, sweet potatoes, cotton, field beans, blackberries, strawber-
