BLOW AT COAST LINE.
May Insist ON Elimination
or Grade Crossings.

Savannah, Ca! Feb. 15.-Another
blow will probably be dealt the At
lantic Coast Line Railway as a result
OF Its temerity in removing its shop
forces from Savannah to Waycross.
The tracks Of the Coast Line tha, en-
ter through the southern portion OF
the city cross several streets, among
them Bull street. on q grade level
with the streets. It is planned to re-
quire the railroad to either raise the
tracks and let the road pass beneath
or lower the tracks beneath the road.
That this would cost enormously is
patent. Residents Of the southern
portion Of Savannah united in q
strong kick and Mayor Tiedeman end
City Attorney s. B. Adams conferred,
with the result that an ordinance will
be introduced in council soon provic.
Ing for change at the crossings.

We will say that South. Carolina
Will make I'm 1908 approximately L.
100000 bales Of cotton, valued at SAC
per bale. This makes a total of s55.-
100000. So we have $5b,20O, 900
worth OF cotton money to pay ,s77.-
100000 with. Deduct out cotton crop
from the Indebtedness and we are
still In debt $22.. 900. Farmers
stop, consider and think and apply
the remedy. Organization, co-opera-
tion and diversifcation of crops. Ev-
cry bale of cotton that has been sold
Of the 1908 crop has been sold below
its actual value. $40 per bale. There
fore we have lost on the 1908 crop
$24,000,000. which would have about
brought us out even and paid our in
debtedness. Why haven't we got the
$50 per bale we ought to have had :?
1t Is because conditions did not war
rant 1t? No. The cause is that the
farmer who produced 1t did not CO.
operate and use good business judg-
ment In selling 1t, and also in produc-
ing 1t. Now, let us turn this old COW
around. We have been feeding her
and the other fellow has been getting
the milk. Now, 1t is time we farm
ers have the milk end Of her, and
make the other fellow feed her, and
conditions will begin at once to
change. With conditions staring us
In the face as they do today, what is
our first and greatest duties as farm
ers? 1t Is to cut the acreage of cot
ton at least 80 per cent, plant in food
crops and also cut fertilizer bills at
least 30 per cent. So this Is the first
step to take in setting the price for
the 1909 crop, and IL it is done 1t will
not fail to make a renumerative price
for the grower. How can any farmer
prosper when he buys corn for 81
per bushel. while he could raise 1t
himself for S5 cents? He busy bacon
at 10 cent per pound. when he can
grow 1t at from to cents per
pound. Why should he pay $225 to
$3.50 for horses and mules, when he
can raise just as nice ones for 800?
And why should farmer buy hay

Now is the time to regulate prices;
not when the crop is made. Septem-
Der. 1s0& Is too late to begin fixing
on setting price.
What Is the remedy for low prices
on. cotton? Three things 1t is essen
tial to do. Organize into the Farm
er's Educational and Cooperative
Union Of America. and live up to its
declaration Of purposes. and diversl-
fy your crops so as to make home
self-supporting. Now, let us look at
diversified farming and see II It will
pay Us to do It, II 1t will pay us as
farmers. let US adopt 1t into our sys.
tenn at once. Many farmers think d.
versifcation means trucking. Such
farmers have wrong conception Of
1t. Well. what does II mean? It
means this kind Of farming: First,
make ample provision to plant plenty
OF wheat. In all parts Of the South,
where 1t can be grown successfully
and profitably, we should supply. all
home needs and have a few barrels
OF -four to sell. In the portions of
the South where wheat does not do
well. oats will grow fine. In that Sec
ton sow oats to supply home mar
kets for seed and feed. It has been
demonstrated recently that in all por-
tions OF the South on our uplands
that there has been grown from so to
100 bushels Of corn to the acre. 1t
has also been demonstrated that In
any section OF the South pork can be
raised cheaper than in the Western
States. We can also raise horses and
mules as cheap here. Dairying can
be made as profitable here In the
South az In any country, so, with
these facts before us. where does the
trouble lie? With the Southern farm
er himself. Who is to blame for cot
ton selling for 1-2 cents when II
ought to be selling for Is? No one
Is to- blame but the man who pro-
duces 1t. On the other hand. II the
farmers of. the South had been d.
versifying their crops for the last ten
years. they could have been q very
rich people. The above system I call
diversified agriculture. which means
success for the Southern farmer.
Now. let us see where our money goes
and for what things we send it West.
I have. carefully as 1 could. gotten
up the amount Of money that South
CAROLINA is-spending for products that
she ought 20 raise. Many Of her sons
will be surprised to find that her cot
ton crop will not pay the debt. so,
Brother Farmers. consider what you
are doing and where you are. Below
