for the purpose OF raising funds TO

encourage the farmers to know the
country and are loyal to it, to unlNef-
sally adopt the following plan. First
provide their own food SUPPLIES from
the farm: second, double the average
product on every acre under cultlNa-
ton and let each worker on the farm
by the use of better teams and tools.
till three times as many acres as at
present, not in the one crop but in
variety of diversified and profitable
crops. This would cause an immedi-
ate demand for more land and would
provide the money to pay for it. This
makes every man on the farm more
than six times the industrial power
he now Is and gives him q love Of the
farm. This is better than to leave
him in encouragement and secure
immigrants to come and buy him out.
l should not speak so positively,
only / have observed Tor quarter
of Il century that where the Southern
merchants have changed from an
advance system to a cash system,
they have prospered very much more
than in former years and the number
Of failures is immensely less. OF
course, it is not meant that there
should be no credits, but practically
there should be little necessity for
them until the crop is actually ready
for the harvest. thcn trade becomes
a CASH transaction. or better Stlli,
the farmer can get his money from
the bank and pay cash in all cases, II
there is 4 lack of ready money.
The advance system bears down
upon the cotton farmer with special
hardship. His crop is either, sold 1T
once or is forced to the gin and the
warehouse 50 as to secure loans. II
the cotton farmer is not forced to
sell to raise money or pay debts he
will store his crop on his farm itnd
market at his leisure, which is in che
interest of all parties.
1t appears to me- therefore, that
the farmer Will immcasurable gain
when he produces what he mas hither-
to bought in the way of living. He
is not compelled to sell his crop I'M
mediately upon the harvest. When
he does sell he trades for cash. The
greater amount of money he has is
VerX helpful to the family but tie
stimulus to his self-respect is perhaps
the most important item to be consid-
cred. The merchant prospers ty the
greater Volume of business and by the
quick return of his money. 1t seems
to me that these points should be
urged upon all the people.

FARMERS COOPERATIVE
DEMONSTRATION WORK
ID {.
a

For many years it has been the GUS
tom of Southern farmers to make their
crop upon the advance system and
while this has been regarded as an
economic error on the side of the far
mer. by many merchants it has been
thought that it was d very profitable
way of buying cotton.
The farmer realized that as a matter
of safety it was better TO make the
food consumed by the family and his
stock upon the farm rather than to
purchase it and especially when he had
to promise payment out Of a crop
which had not as yet been made.
have been watching this phase OF
country life in the South for many
years and have come to the cOnclu-
sion that the advance system IS just
as great a mistake on the part OF the
merchant as it is on the part of the
farmer. for the following reasons:
First the merchant takes great
risks which, of course, he u1es 10
cover BY increased charges. But even
though these charges are increased.
the staples OF life are not such articles
as a high percentage of profit VIII
adhere to. and the merchant is prac-
ticalIy trading gold for a promise TO
pay. If the crop fails, he is Obliged
to Gerry and carry and carry and pos
sibly may ultimately. as in thousands
of cases. be Obliged tc take the farm
for which he as no use, and under
boil weevl conditions is difficult to
handle profitably upon tenant sys-
TEN.
Under a cash system there will be
a great reduction in the sales of some
tSaple foods such as bacon. potatoes
beans lard. vegetables. canned goods
nv. corn. etc. all articles that carry
low profits The farmer is rarely a
hoarder of money and if he saves two
hundred dollars or more by producing
all his food supplies at home he has
that much more to spend WhGl ms
crop is made and it IS cash
Under q cash system the farmer Will
buy with his surplus more dry goods,
clothing shoes, furniture, etc, Tor
his family. better teams, farm lmple-
ments. wagons buggies, etc, on when
there is q much greater proflt Tor the
merchant than on staple articles Of
food. The merchant can turn his
money in thirty days, instead OF q
wear. Ten per cent clear profit turned
monthly is better than , per cent
gain received annually Some OF the
farmers increased income goes INTO
perrnanent improvement to enable tins
farmer to produce more and speno
more annually
Again, there IS somethlhS apou'
raising cotton, tobacco, etc. to pay
= debt that saps the vitality OF the
farmer and affects the quality of his
tiHage It really lowers the grade OF
farming If upon the other hands
the merchants Will join with us In
urging farmers to raise all their food
supplies and try to produce by better
tiilage double the crop per acre they
now produce. the result as it affects
the merchant will be this:
All business will soon be done on {
cash basis and the volume viii bt
three or four times as large from tht
farmers alone. The advent Of more
money will bring diversified industrie!
among the farmers and eventually viii
attract manufacturers to the marke
towns.
