The man who doubts the future of
the South industrially or socially
should read the little sermon on cot
ton crops versus children in this weeks
Progressive Farmor.
The text runs thus: when we take
the children out of school to help save
the COTTON crop we are committing u
double crime against them Not only
arc We rendering the soil poorer but
ut tho Same time we are dcprvinE
them OF the opportunity OF securing
that education which will be doubly
necessary to them in order that they
may make living from the soils that
we have already exhausted. Better
havo less cotton and let those little
backs grow straight and strong in
play, and have those eyes and brains
employed IN the schoclhouse that is
now empty"
There is no finer conservation doc
trinc preached in this broad land than
that. Save the land and teach the
children, The words might become
slogan for the whole South They are
not the fine theories OF some man in
library They appear in the middle
OF practical agricultural paper, right
next to articles on cotton bale tare.
and the prevention of cotton anthrac-
nose. They arc the fundamentals Of
faith TO all who are laboring to make
tho South \ rich and happy region
Tho remedy suggested to the cot
ton-grower. and it has meaning for all
other farmers. is to cultivate less land.
It is possible for one man to plant
many more acres than he himself can
harvest. When picking and gathering
time comes round he must call on his
children TO save the crop" He sees
only the loss in money. lie forgcts
the loss in progress for the next gen
Grafton. He also overlooks that by
careful close cultivation OF smaller
area he may be able to make almost
as much money as by tackllng too
much
This ideal of protecting the land and
training tie children to mako moro out
OF 1t than their fathers did IS the heart
Of our hope for the next generation
OF farmers. It applies in Virginia. as
il does in the big cotton countries It
applies to tho spring season as well
as the fall. 1t means that the best
crop is good people, and not dollars.
