Settling the Labor Problem.

Everywhere we go we hear the
same complaint: Eve are making
more now. than we can gather" "Pll
take your paper if you will show me
how to get my cotton picked out"
Il can farm all right if / could get
plenty of labor" etc. Well we can
solve all these troubles for you, if
you will adopt our plan. which is as
simple as it will prove effective. 1t
is to put double our present area into
pasture. Let cows and hogs do more
of our labor for us. They can gather
their own food nine months in the
year. Wherever we go, we see just
enough live stock and enough fine
specimens to show that the South
can succeed along these lines as well
as any section, if we can get more Of
our farmers who will devote them
selves to this line of farming. If
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1911-12-16

our farmers would only take time to
consider the question they would see
that this will prove veritable two
edge sword" cutting both ways, since
it would save us millions now sent
out Of our section to buy meat and
beef, and then make our cotton bring
more, since the less we make the
more we get for it. This matter has
become more Of q necessity from two
reasons: l. We are annually having
more people to feed and hence have
so much better market for any sur
PLUS product, and 2, because we have
learned to grow as much as two bales
of cotton on an acre instead Of one
fourth to one-third, as we did in for
mer years. All the farmers We have
talked to this fall, who are raising
hogs and cattle have been unani-
nous in their declaration that hogs
and COWS were proving more prof.
table to them than cotton growing.
Start to build pastures this fall, set
out Bermuda grass, sow herds grass,
orchard grass, clover and anything
that will grow food and not require
cultivation. There is absolutely no
reason for out attempting to culti-
vato every acre available in one year.
Let's grow. but grow along well-bal-
anced lines Of farming. We were
walking in pasture over in Newton
County, Georgia, last month, where
Bermuda, Dallas grass and Lespedeza
were each vieing with another and
growing to the heigh Of six inches or
more. Mr.. King said: II gave $25
per acre for this bottom land. Every
farmer Hho sees it says: My! what
fine corn il would make, but 1t pays
me in grass as we'll as it would in any
crop, and make more money out Of
this pasture than any field Of the
same area on my farm" Others
would find the same true, If they
would only have a good pasture and
then good stock to feed upon 1t.

larging Your pasture.-Southern Gull

MUCH DECORATION BEING DONE.
Many Merchants Fall in Line-SOme
Windows Very Elaborate.

The merchants are rapidly falling
in line and decorating their windows
for the admiration Of Christmas
shoppers and in order to attract those
shoppers tS their stores. Last week
there were several of the merchants
who had already done some decor
ating, but most of the usual ante
Christmas decoration is being done
this week.
One of the most elaborately decor
ated windows is that of the d. j.
Chandler Clothing Company. The
work was done by Mr.. S. r. Smoak
and the window has been arranged in
a very attractive and pleasing style.
In the window are displayed many of
the various necessities of a mans ap-
parel and some of the luxuries, such
as are generally purchased at Christ
mas time. Only one Of the two big
windows has been decorated yet, but
the other window is being dressed in
it's Christmas costume and will be
ready for public inspection in a short
time.
O'Donnell and Companys windows
have alreday been mentioned, but so
tastefully are they decorated and so
attractive display do they make that
they will bear inspection at any and
all times; two of them. representing
snow scenes. are especially attractive
at night. The four windows adver-
tise clothing. blankets, crockery and
fruits and nuts. respectively.
Other windows which have been
decorated especially with Christmas
designs in view are: Sibert's, which
has an attractive display Of candies
and cut glass; J. M. Chandler, which
shows off his line Of clothing; Cuttino
and Mcknight, who entice the pass
ersby with their display Of fruits and
nuts; w. II. Cobb, the five and ten
cent store, which has an elaborate ar
rangement of Christmas bells and
tinsel and candies in one window and
toys and dolls in the other; Scaff's,
where Christmas bells are hung and
toys entrance the eye OF the small
children; Shaw and McCollum Mer-
cantil. who have an excellent assort-
ment Of toys; Sumter Clothing Com
pany where much skill has been dis
played in the arrangement Of cloth
ing, with the back ground OF red and
green; Sumter Dry Goods. which has
a large assortment of toys on display;
M. Green, where toys are again dis
played; Barnett's store has more toys
and useful articles displayed and
Strauss has a fine line Of fruits
candies and other goodies exhibited I'm
their show window: Bultman's has
arranged one window IA the Christ
mas style, with shoes as the adver-
tising medium; Folsom's has an es-
pecially pretty window, while
Schwartz Bros have a beautiful dis
play Of dolls arranged in one Of their
big windows; Yates has an assort-
ment Of fireworks, so dear TO the
childish hearts; PARROTS Book Store
has fine line of brass ware arranged
with background Of dark red, MAX
ing a vtry attractive appearance;
China's Drug Store has displayed a
fine assortment of candies, complet-
ing the list of stores having been

around and you will see that those
farmers who are growing home sup
plies are the most independent and
prosperous. We were talking TO a
South Carolina farmer who is run
ming fifteen plows He said: I'VE are
buying all our corn and paying $l.25
per bushel for it, We told him he
could grow it at cost of % cents and
thus he was losing $1.OO on every
hushel he bought. Now, if we have
some few who will persist in this one
sided system of farming we must let
them go, but never follow them in
their wrong course.
Coming back to our present condi-
ton: We hear merchants and bank
ers complaining of poor collections
and hard times on account Of the
slow selling of cotton. We believe in
the farmer paying his debts, but we
do not see why we farmers should
suffer all the inconvenience and loss.
They should willingly suffer with us,
as upon this fight hinges the prosper
ty of the South. Our commercial
world had as we'll put this in their
pipe and smoke it. With the diffu-
sion Of knowledge comes two inevi-
table changes in affairs. We working
people will come to want more and
we are going to have more compen-
sation for our efforts, and so they
had just as well plan to divide up
more equally. We want to repeat
again and again that the farmer Is
entitled to as much remuneration, in
proportion to skill ard brains used
as any other class, and as all wealth
comes to our hands first we are 60
ing to have it. We have not been in
position to demand our rights, but
from now on, we will get in position
to obtain our just dues. Why should
banker, manufacturer, fertilizer deal
er, merchant and laborer get their
full accounts and the farmer see his
whole years work cut down half,
simply because God prospered him
with good crop? Hold your cotton,
Just as long as you can and all you
"an until next September. Some pro-
pose to go out and buy on the board
as much as they would naturally
make another season and plant none.
This would settle the question and be
lighting the devil with his own fire."
but we are morally opposed to deal
ing in futures, and then If we succeed
ii would but fasten this buying fu,'
lures upon us and sooner or later
cause us to lose more than we. gain
ed. If the Southern people had as
much money as the other side it
might be worked out to our financial
lift. II will he better to hOl1 all YOU
can. bry ali You can. and plan, as IN,
ue as yol can for 1912 we have
heard many say they were no gong
% plant any and believe ali should
do so who have other crops that they
can make living by growing. The
only way We can permanently settle
this cottor question, or price question,
is to get where we do not have 20
sell until we can get our price. This
will require our farmers to get one
year ahead, instead Of being--as we
have been--one year behind.-South-
ern Cultivator.
