Be A Farmer Next Year

Whenever cotton gets very low
there are always a lot of people to
cry out, Quit raising cotton" and
a lot of farmers who begin looking
for some other crop to take the
place of cotton" Now, we do not
believe that the Cotton Belt farmer
should quit raising cotton or that
he needs another money crop" to
take its place. Cotton is the great
est money crop that Southern farm
ers, as class, can grow. For the
man who has been growing cotton
all his life to quit all at once just
because prices are low and plunge
altogether into some other branch
of farming, is anything but a wise
policy. The cotton farmer doesn't
need to get unduly excited because
cotton prices are low, Cotton was
a profitable crop, even this year. to
some farmers; 1t will be a profitable
crop for a long time yet If farmers
will only give 1t chance, There
are a great many changes sadly
needed in our system of farming,
but there Is not the slightest need
of a panic-stricken rush to untried
lines of work. The kind Of farming
needed next year Is exactly the
kind of farming that was needed
this year,-the kind that The Prog
ressive Farmer ureed,-and the
kind that good farmers here and
there all over the South are doing
Cotton Is low this year, because
our farmers went wild last spring
and planted the biggest cotton crop
in the history of this country,
Prices had been high for two years,
and they forgot that a cotton crop
of medium size almost invariably
brings more than a big one, They
forgot, too, that the entire depend
enee upon single crop, no matter
how good a crop 1t may be, Is an
