PROFITABLE FARM IN SOUTH
Prosperity Seen When All People
Live on Farm Products and Grow
Cotton as Surplus.

@. H. Afford, one of the agents Of
the government representing the ag-
ricultural department and who has
been working chiefly in Claiborne
county this year. talked to business
men and planters at the vicksburg
Cotton Exchange last week and said
some good things. among them the
following:
"rhe planters who keep their la
borers and force them to grow plenty
OF corn, rice. potatoes, molasses. hogs
and poultry for home use. and to cul-
tivate say six or seven acres Of cot
ton, according to government instruc-
tons. will grow more prosperous ev-
cry year. They will not grow as
much cotton. but it viii not be neces-
sary for them to send two-thirds Of
the money obtained for cotton to 9TH
er sections Of the country to pay for
farm products. Boil weevil or no boil
weevil. prosperity will be the rule
In Warren county when all her peo-
pie live on the products Of the farms

anxious to sell their plantations.
They tell me they are in debt and
will never be able to raise the mort
gage They say that the boil wee
vii is here to destroy cottcn-their
money crop. They are mistaken on
two counts. Profitable crops of cot
ton can be grown in spite Of the boil
weevil and cotton is not now sur
plus money crop. They viii grow
profitable crops of cotton as a sur
plus crop in year or so. They win
then all live at home and grow say
two-thirds as much cotton The cot
ton money win then raise mortgages
instead Of paying for corn. bacon.
lard. mules. hay. etc. The boil wee
vii means diversified farming and
stock raising This means fertile soil
and good farming Fertile soil and
good farming means high priced land.
The boil weevil will probably keep
the price of land down for two or
three years, but diversified agricul-
ture and the raising OF good hogs,
cattle, mules. horses and other stock
will force the price up and up until IT
will sell for four or FIVE times its
present market value Let every
planter hold tigh grip on his land.
There is no excuse for the blues.
The northern farmers are getting
rich They cannot grow cotton They
cannot grow sugar cane. rice and
many o'her crops that can be grown
in Warren. Any crop viii grow here
that the Iortherners can grow. Diver
sifed farming and stock raising and
the growing OF cotton a surplus
crop will put Warren county on the
high road to genuine prosperity.

But go down In the cotton country

HOLD COTTON. SAYS BARRETT
Urges Farmers to Farm as II Staple
Crop Not In Existence-south q
Carolina Plan.

To the Oficers and Members OF the
Farmers Union:
At this critical stage in the cotton
situation, with the Farmers Union
and scores of business leaders and
general southern factors battling t.
stem the tide Of unfair prices. the
first duty of the farmer is to hold his
cotton
Those who sell at present prices
are simply giving away a margin Of
several million dollars to spinners
and SPECTATORS. Quotations after the
first of the year viii establish the
truth Of that assertion. The most
difficult part of the campaign Is
now upon US. To waver is to lose
the effect Of the splendid work al
ready accomplished
In South Carolina, under the lead
ership of E. ]. Watson. president Of
the Southern cotton congress, they are
instituting a system of pledges which
binds the planter to hold his present
cotton for thirteen cents; and further.
not to sow more than sixty per cent
OF the arabic acreage in cotton for
the coming season The plan is an
excellent one. Statistics and our own
common sense tell US that the crop
now in hand is worth much more than
is being offered for it. But If civil
cation needs the sharp lessons of
short crop to emphasize the wisdom
of fair dealing with the farmer-then
so be it,
The south is in better position to
be absolutely independent than any
other section of the country. Just
assume, for the sake of illustration.
that soil conditions were such that
we could not produce cotton We
would then proceed to realize upon
the south's heaven-sent heritage by
producing the great staple crops rails
ed In every other section OF Ameri-
ca, the crops they rely upon to sus-
tain life. to bring In revenue. to pro-
mote prosperity.
Think what southern soil can yield.
Corn. wheat. oats. barley, rye. sweet
potatoes. Irish potatoes. turnips.
peas, vetch. burr clover. alfalfa, rib
bon cane. sorghum. watermelons. all
kinds of vegetables. cows, hogs,
sheep. goats. mules. poultry and poul-
try products. dairy products. and all
manner Of fruits.
We could simply wipe cotton out Of
consideration, still make living. and
bring in enormous sums from the
world-at-large for southern crops.
In the face of these tremendous as
sets. it is nothing less than criminal
folly to concentrate on cotton Cut
down on II, ruthlesslyl Make It
strictly surplus crop. Produce any
or all of the other crops have emu
merated. Then the perennial cotton
problem win cease to be one. the cot
ton we do raise will bring q fair
price and 1t viii not be. incumbered
by the large amounts now insanely
sent outside o fthe section for staples
that should be raised here.
