Decide for Yourself.
We will leave the matter to your
readers to decide for themselves
whether or not they can afford to
raise cotton to make the money to
pay 81 per bushcl for the Western
farmers corn and - cents for his
meat.
We remember reading an ticle
some time since by farmer who
made the assertion that he could
raise corn cheaper than he could af-
ford TO haul it ten miles if it were
given to him. ! thought at the time
that he was a member Of, or at least
fit subject for, the "Ananias Club"
but my mind has undergone some
what of change since.
We urge every farmer who hasn't
already done so. to take at least one
or two acres and make the test and
prove to himself how much per acre,
and how cheap, he can grow corn
Then he will stop hauling Western
corn.
We appeal to the farmers Of our
county who spend so much time
"cussing" the meat trust, the grain
trust, the hay trust, and all other
trusts, to stop patronizing them and
raise those things at home Why
should he worry about the high price
OF farm products when he has plenty
for himself and some for his neigh
Dor? DO you see the point?
Now is the grandcst opportunity
ever presented to the Southern far
mer who makes farming "busi-
ness with farm products of all
kinds bringing remunerative, and
some fancy, prices, it Is only for the
Southern farmer to grasp the oppor-
tunity and make the most Of it, for,
as we see it, prosperity is just now
dawning on the Southern cotton
slave. 1t Is evident that we cannot
only make 1.-TWO blades Of grass grow
where but one grew BEFORE" but
dozen blades Of grass, dozen ears
OF corn, to grow where but one grew
before. and all other crops in proper
tion-and the end is not yet in
sight.
We have the r. Il. d. system: now
give us better equipped rural schools,
with better equipped teachers
longer terms. with a special agricul-
tural course for boys; better public
highways. Give us these, with the
rural telephone and other modern
cOnvcniences, which are bound to
follow, and the old "Hayseed" of
OcOnec can bid defiance to the rest
OF the world. So mote it be.
Yours truly. j. b. Harris.
