BULLETINS ON RAISING
TIE AIIMAN CROP

This Is the day of uplife and upllft
movements. some Of them are good
and some are worthless. A few, how
ever, are of the deepest significance
and the widest Importance, says the
Atlanta Georgian.
OF the latter kind is the work Of
isslri:A bulletins on the home train
carried on by Professor William A.
ing of boys and & rls, originated and
McKeeveF, head of the department
of philosophy In the state agricul-
tural college at Manhattan. Kansas
It is described by Professor Nc
Keever himself IN the October num-
Der of The Worlds Work
The spirit Of the enterprise may
be best obtained from the following
paragraphs from Professor McKeey-
er's article:
The fact that many persons are
still following eighteenth century
methods OF child culture n the home
and at the sane time applying the
aics of twentieth century science TO
wheat culture, and hog culture and
horse culture. has for some years ap
pcaled TO me as one of the anomal-
les OF our time
AFTER observing carefully the
methods OF the agricultural expert
ment stations Ia sending out free
bulletins on live stock to thousands
of interested readers, I decided to
undertake a counterpart of their
work With a series Of bullet MS on
the home training Of S0ys and girls.
Il Is a matter OF fact tha5 the
states and the nafion spend millions
OF dollars and employ the most sl1ii
ed experts to look after the welfare
Of all livestock and svuu md iiber
crops. but neglect almost entirely
the most important crop of all
the human crop.
With the great facts OF modern
medical. sanitary and psychological
knowledge available. they are prac-
tieally al allowed 10 10 TO waste be-
cause they are not taught 10 the 4

Case of the Cotton Grower At Present
~ "a M prices

Middling cotton just now Is selling
for something less than 10 l-2c a
pound on the wagon That makes
bale of middling cotton worth less
than $3.50 a bale. With the value
Of the seed added, bale of midiling
cotton Is worth not more than $50 on
! the basis OF current quotations Pick
! ing will cost $40 a bale, ginning prob
ably So. If these were the only items
OF expense bale of middling cotton
now would net the farmer SAT-. But
| OF course there are other items OF
expense seed, bagging and ties, in
terest on investment. assuming the
farmer to own his land; fertilizer
perhaps in some cases, to say nothing
of the cost of feed, the repair of inn
plements and an allowance for the
farmer as wages. Since, ordinarily,
lit will require at least two acres of
land to produce a bale of cotton, the
interest on the land Investment at $50
an acre will amount, at s per cent,
to $S. Leaving out of account the al
lowance for the farmers wages, the
other Items of expense will probably
add $12, making the total cost of
producing a $50 bale of cotton easily
S27, leaving a net profit of $33 on
that bale of cotton. One farmer
working with the assistance of a
large family will not produce more
than twenty bales of cotton a year,
so that at present prices he would
not derive more than $640.
Cotton growing, in other words, at
present prices and under the most
favorable circumstances doesn't re-
turn much above average day-labor
wages Consider how much worse |
the case is If the farmer be renter |
under the necessity of giving a |
fourth or a third of his crop to the |
landlord. What chance has he to
make a competence, or to accumulate |
a small sinking fund against those |
sdversities to which farming is sub |
ect more than any other branch OF
industry? The best he can do is to |
keep even with the world, and TO do |
even that he has well-nigh to en-
slave his family and stunt the growth |
of his children intellectually and |
One bad crop season |
will put him in debt so dep that two |
or three good seasons will no more
than enable him to climb out
So long as the cotton grower is in II
debt he can not be entirely free. The
establishment OF warehouses and the
devsemeAt Of system of financing
may prove to be of some benefit to
him; but the best system that human
brain can devise is incapable OF
the cotton grower who
Is in debt The fundamental prob
lem, and the problem that must be
solved if cotton growing is not to be

S that of enabling the average farm

problem worth the best thought that
he South has. 4
