and ;lffording material for discussion of
the District bill until the post office APP

the committee. The post Office bill will
receive its first attention at the hands

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-03-29

has been following the system and now has
thirty-fve farms and is known as millionaire.
In the South similar system could be made
to bring far greater profits to landlord and tenant
because our cotton crop is the best money crop in
the whole country when properly grown. Just as
in Maryland they look upon thirty bushels
of wheat per acre as the minimum crop, in the
South with good farming the bale per acre would
soon be considered the minimum instead of the
maximum crop.
There is greater opportunity for the protta-
BILE investment of capital in good farming with
cotton than in any enterprise that the moneyed
men of the South engage in. With a good
short rotation of crops and the intelligent use
of our great renovating and forage crop, the cow
pea instead of talking about the and small
grain crops as "supples' they would soon be-
come of such proportions as to become real money
crops to pay all the costs of the production of
the cotton. IF men could become millionaries in
the growing of wheat at the prices ruling in late
years since the war, how much more rapidly could
they become millionaries in the cultivation of cot
ton in intelligent system But to start real
tenant system that will attract real farmers, the
farms must have farm houses and barns in place
of the cabins and log novels. There are fortunes
waiting for men of means in this. Who will
start it in the South?
