paying more per head for mules than
practically any other state in the union
and she is raising fewer colts per
farm. Is there any valid reason for
this?
But conditions are changing Heavy
farm mares are being substituted Tor
mules. In every case the change has
proven profitable The mares have
shown their ability TO pillow the land

According to the last census Geor-

cent of these being on farms, Geor-
gia farmers holding bottom place
among states for number of horses

half were mares. The census reports
only 1918 colts. On the basis of so
per cent. breeding record, the 1900

colts, but it will be seen that Georgia
farmers have been very Indifferent
about raising colts when they have
raised only about one-third as many
as they could be expected to raise. A
very deplorable state of affairs. Think
of driving through a farming section
and passing SO farms that did not
raise colts before you came to one
that did, this too in face Of the fact
that Georgia is paying approximately

Crop Mortgages And The Credit
 System.

One of the blighting infuenc- es upon farming in this state for a great many years in the past has been the credit system with the crop mortgage accompani- ment. The furnishing or credit merchant is not blamable. He supplies a demand. In reality the crop mortgage is more re- sponsible for the system than anything else, and it is the sys- tenn after all that is hurtful. The credit merchant who sells goods on a credit and depends upon the outcome of the crop and the product of the labor of the customer and his family, ire ouently if not always, takes the risk on the weather, on the crop conditions, the final yield, and all the misfortunes and adVer- sities incident to the making ot q crop, including the sickness that may prevail. Necessarily he charges a big profit, for ne does not know how much of the account he will have to lose on account of the customers talllng to make enough to pay up III the fall, He must charge enough nroft so that after losing a part he will have enough to make
 him whole from those who are
 able and do pay. Otherwise ne would fail, as many do anyway
 Thus it will be seen that the
 successful customers Of a 1urn- ishing merchant who are able oo
 nav their accounts in full must nay a profit large enough ,. to III, riude the loss on accountof those
Newport daily independent., 1913-11-13

who do not pay. It is manifest ly hard for any farmer to make q success, or even anything more than than a meager living and pay the high prices, big profits and high rate of interest lon his supplies that is required by the credit or crop mortgage system, and it is safe to say not many do make more than a bare living, that way.
 Under the crop mortgage sys- tenn the farmer cannot farm as he likes. He is forced by the terms of the mortgage to plant a certain amount to cotton whe- ther he wants to or not. He cannot raise crops according to his own judgment, but must do his farming according to the terms of the mortgage, and plant a sufficient acreage to cotton to give some assurance of paying his account from that source.
 l hope the farmers will help their brother farmers who are held down by the crop mortgage system to wean themselves, or free themselves from it. Some need to be freed, while others need to be Weaned from it. Now Is the time to break away from the system. Make up your mind to undergo any hardship endur- able to get free from it next year, Tie first of January or s0oN thereafter will be time to ma1e arrangements for next Eear, Try and make some oth- CT arrangements. Cultivate less land, or make some different ar- engagements so that you will get away from the credit system, You can never succeed under it. It is a blight on southern farm ing, and I hope to see the day come when there will be no fur nishing business and no crop mortgage to sustain it. The merchants as we'll as the far mer5 will be better off, and it will mean much to the state.
 Yours very truly.

 Commissioner.

Government Wants Dairymen,

Government Wants Dairymen.
 The establishment of cream cries on several irrigation pro- Jects of the government dur ing the past two years has prov en so successful that there is Widespread interest in dairying among the settlers. Unfortun- ately many of the settlers are without the necessary capital to purchase good dairy stock and for the time being are forced to continue the uneconomic meth cd Of selling all their forage crops. A large number of these settlers are trying to operate more land than their means will permit, and with a view of en- gazing in dairying are desirous of subdiViding their farms in order to get money for the pur- chase of stock.
 This has placed on the market a considerable area of land on several projects where nearly all of the government land has been taken up. The prices and terms offered are more on the basis of the need of money than on actual value, and offer ex- cellent opportunities for experi- enced dairy men to establish themselves in communities where the success of their enter prise is practically assured.
 There are numerous sections where good land suited for dairy farming can be had at prices ranging from S25 to $50 per a. ere, with water ready for irri- gation. On all these projects the markets for dairy products, beef and pork are excellent and there is every indication of continuance for an indefinite pe- riod. It has been demonstrated repeatedly that dairy farming in the West is the safest, surest, and in the long run, the most profitable form of agriculture to engage in.
 The settlement agent of the U. s. Reclamation Service at Chicago is furnishing informa- tion concerning location, prices and terms to all who are seek ing homes in the West, but is especially desirous of interest ing practical farmers with capi- tai. Many of these projects contain a few government farms available for homesteading, and literature describing them is also supplied. In view of the very high prices prevailing else where for lands suitable for dairying, the western opportuni- ties are regarded as exceeding ly attractive.
