More live stock, more feed and less
cotton acreage. more cotton per acre
and a better price for it, is a farm pol
cy so plainly in the interest of farmers
that there Is no need of argument to
prove it, says Dallas Farm and Ranch.
A single statement of facts is all that
s necessary. Cotton is the most extern
tive staple grown in the south, and the
total yield of one acre brings to the
producer less than 500 as an average,
,ut of which the farmer must pay at
east So for picking, besides the ex-
Dense of ginning, baling and hauling.
Then there is hardly enough left to pay
Tor the labor of preparing the land and
planting and cultivating the crop.
There can be more clear profit realized
from pair of pigs, which can be
grown on half as much land. We
lont mean that cotton should be aban-
loned, but that fewer acres should be
devoted to it, better cultivation given it
and better prices received for Il smaller
crop. Some farmers (and these the
best ones) should abandon cotton alto
gether, because they can devote every
acre to more profitable crops. Others
must continue to grow cotton because
they don't know any other money crop.
