SAYS CUT THE CROP IN HALF
Excellent Advice From Commissioner
Stevens.

Excellent Advice From Commissioner
Stevens.
IF the farmers of Georgia will plant
just one-half as much cotton next year
as they did this, they will set 124 or
Is cents for it," says Commissioner of
Agriculture 0. B. Stevens. ''It is
much better to have the smaller acre
age and the high price, than to raise
twice as much and not get so good q
price. But on half The acreage. more
than half as much cotton can be raised,
if it is highly fertilized and receives
the proper attention. Then there is
not the expense of cultivation, which
would be attached to the larger acre
age. / do wish the farmers of Georgia
would cut their cotton acreage in half
just for one year. Ii they will just try
it once, think they will be satisfied.
They have more feed crops, forage,
hay, oats and other grain crops on
hand than ever before, and on top of
that they have money in the bank If
they can now be persuaded to cut down
their cotton crop for next year, just
half, they will be that much better off !"
