OTHER FELLOW GETS PROFIT
Pork Can Be Raised Just as cheapiy
In South az In West-Picture
by Prof. w. r. Massey.

"But go down in the cotton country
and you will see thousands OF men
year after year growing small crop
per acre Of cotton by the aid Of lit
tie low-priced fertilizer bought on the
credit Of the cotton crop. and paying
big prices for western bacon that the
Dutchman raised and made proht
from, a railroad made profit on car
rying the hogs to Chicago. and the
packer became a millionaire, and an
other railroad hauled it south and the
local merchant, who has chattel
mortgage on many crop Of cotton,
puts a big profit on bacon because OF
his risk, and the cotton croppers try
to make all these people rich out OF
their one crop, when they could make
the pork cheaper in the south than the
western farmer can. because of the
cheap land and the great variety OF
crops they can produce for the hogs
to gather for themselves"
What do you think Of the above
picture by Prof. w. F. Massey? Is
1t true? We regret to admit the cold
facts as stated by Professor Massey.
Now let us call our wife and children
around the fireside on cold winter
night and make a'vow to live at home,
practice the most rigid economy, and
stay out of debt and the problems will
soon be solved. Then we will be in.
dependent prosperous farmers.

PROFITABLE FARM IN s0UTH
Prosperity Seen When All People
Live on Farm Products and Grow
Cotton as Surplus.

G. 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 Vicksburs
Cotton Exchange last week and said
some good things, among them the
following:
"The 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 cui-
tivate say six or seven acres OF cot
ton, according to government instrue-
tions, will grow more prosperous ev-
cry year. They will not grow al
much cotton, but it will 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 bou
weevil, prosperity will be the rule
in Ware county when all her peo-
pie live on the products Of the farms
and grow cotton as surplus crop.
I meet planters every day who are
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 cotton-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 will grow
profitable crops Of cotton as sur
plus crop in year or so. They VIII
then all live at home and grow say
two-thirds as much cotton. The cot
ton money will 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 SOL
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 it's
present market value. Let every
planter hold a 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 other crops that can be grown
IN Warren. Any crop will grow here
that the Lortherners can grow. DiveeE
stied farming and stock raising and
the growing Of cotton az surplus
crop will put Warren county on the
high road to genuine prosperity.

HOLD COTTON, SAYS BARRETT

To the Onicers and Members Of the
Farmers Union:

To the Onicers 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 to
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 will establish the
truth of that assertion. The most
dificult 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 q. ]. Watson, president OF
the southern cotton congress, theg are
invtituting . system Of pledges which
binds the planter to hold his present
cotton for thirteen cents; and further.
net 10 SOW more than sixty per cent
Of the arabic acreage Ia cotton foe

oommea sense ten us that the croD

is being offered for t. But H etTih-
zAeien needs tina sharp Lessons of Q
short crop to emphasize fhe wisdom
of fair dealing with the fasmer-then
10 be IT.
The south is tn better position to
bs absolutely independent than any
other section Of the country. Just
assume, for the sake If 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 it, ruthlessly! Make 1t
strictly surplus crop. Produce any
or all of the other crops l have emu
merated. Then the perennial cotton
problem will cease to be one, the cot
ton we do raise will bring a fail
price and it will not be incumbered
by the large amounts now insanely
sent outside fthe section for staples
that should be raised here.
