To Our Farmers.

Theories are plentiful. Argu-
ments are copious. Private or
personal opinions are unanswerabIe,
50 tar as conviction to the Their side
is concerned; but in the weakness OF
human nature all may be mistakes.
Yet figures mayer lie. The logic of
experience upset oil theories.
From actual experience and the
stern logic of facts and figures, one
problem has been solved for West
Tennessee. West Tennessee should
relegate cotton culture to the bot
toms south Of US. Our own county
of Hardeman can produce as fine
grass and as many varieties OF 1t as
any county il the United States.
The lands of West Tennessee should
be dedicated 10 grain, grasses, fruit,
vegetables, and stock raising.
An observant and investigating
farmer can take the statistics of all
our West Tennessee counties and
carefully examine them and he will
aud that all the prosperous counties
have quit raising cotton. In the
counties which have abandoned cot
ton raising lands are much higher in
value, and the farmers are prosper
Gus.
In the cotton counties the lands
are almost worthless and the people
poor and in debt
West Tennessee does not natural
" belong to what is called the cot
ton belt. Hsrdeman county can
produce in grain, grass, fruits or
a yield equal to any in
the land. Such a system is much !,
less expensive that cotton culture and
does not require so much labor,
In truth the farmers Of Hardeman |
county in the last 20 years have
been eaten up by the labor they EN-
Dloyed.
