FEWER ACRES IN COTTON;
MORE COTTON TO ACRE

This, to our thinking, should
be the slogan for cotton grow
ers this year-or any other year
for that matter.
The folly of an excessively
large crop has been repeatedly
pointed out and is now general
ly recognized. Yet these excess
sive crops are planted every few
years and low price follow.
These, in turn, are followed by
strenuous efforts to reduce the
acreage; and whenever the acre
age is reduced, or a bad crop
year comes, and the price goes
a little above normal there is
another general rush to plant
every available acre in cotton.
We said last week that the
only way to make the cotton
crop a steadily profitable crop,
would be to change Southern
farming from the single sale
crop" basis to the basis of a
system of diversified farming
in which live stock, food crops,
feed crops and soil-building
crops should all be given their
proper places. This we believe
with all our heart; and if any
reader has not laid out his
farming to conform to a sys-
tematic rotation which consid-
ers first the fertility of his soil,
he should begin this spring to
work out such a rotation.
This is the rational way per-
mently to reduce the cotton
acreage to a reasonable size and
to insure reasonable crops from
the land planted. AS step in
this direction many farmers
will do we'll to consider and to
act upon what Mr.. j. A. Wade
says on page 5 of this issue. 1t
is hard to find words fifty to de
scribe the suicidal folly of plant
ing In cotton, year after year,
100000 acres of land that
cannot reasonably be expected
to produce a profitable crop.
Let us implore every reader of
The Progressive Farmer who
has been guilty of this folly in
the past to see that his part of
it ends this very year.
Plant in cotton this year only
land that will give you a paying
crop. 1t only makes you poorer
to tend those low-producing
acres.
Then, on the land you plant
use every effort to make good
yield. There is no reason ever
to expect cotton prices high
enough to make the average
yield profitable. 1t is folly to
say that instruction in cotton
growing is not needed. Good
farming-yes, respectable farm
ing-would double the average
yield; and as long as 3O,OOO,O0O
acres of land is tended to pro-
duce the crop that should grow
on 100000 acres, the cotton
farmer is going to be in poor
shape to fight the battle for a
scientific marketing system.
What the farmer wants is not
so much higher prices as larger
profits, and his first duty is to
make his crop at a reasonable
cost. To do this he must, first,
stop wasting labor on fields that
cannot pay and, second, make
the fields he does tend produce
their crops at as low cost as pos
sible. When he does this, some
profit will be assured; and he
will soon be in a position to
finance his own cotton crop and
to help fix the price for it.

ANOTHER LETTER
FROM MIR. PAYSEUR
Describes the Island of ia
maica, Its Good Roads and
How They Are Made.

How They Are Made.
Editor News:- wrote you
some days ago of the canal. I
wish you and other Lancaster
people would go and see it be-
fore the water is let into it, for
after. the water is let in, most
of the enormous work will be
forever hidden. 1t is the 9Th
wonder of the world. The big
gest engineering undertaking

any one a more patriotic Amer
lean.
We arrived here in Jamaica
after several days on bad sea
and all were seasick. Out of
1852 passengers on the second
day out, one-sixth responded to
the cornet call to breakfast.
Jamaica is a beautiful island
about one-third the size of
South Carolina and nearly all
colored population. They go
slow and live lazy. They have
a fine system of graded roads.
The most of the island is very
mountainous, some are as much
as 5000 feet high, but the roads
wind around and the streams
are bridged with iron or cement
bridges and the roads have
cement or rock wall on the out
side about three feet high. We
went out on every road 40 to 80
miles in automobiles, saw large
cattle ranches with thousands
of the finest kind of cattle, fat
and slick. Some farms have as
many as 5000 head. We saw
one farm that had 1,200 or 1,5OO
cattle that had big humps on
their backs, such as we see at
home sometimes in shows.
The roads are all built by con-
vict labor. They crush the rock
by hand with hammer, mostly
by women; they sit down and
pound away and / saw them dis
tributing the crushed rock on
the road. The women carry
them in baskets on their heads
and put them in the road and
the men did the grading and
built walls. They seemed to
have plenty of help. The laws
here are very strict and are en-
forced to the letter. / have not
seen a drunken person since |
left New Orleans nearly two
months ago, though there is
bar room in every city and
town-yes, five to a dozen on
every square, and all over the
country, though the people do
not seem to drink liquor. They
drink wine and beer.
The sugar and coffee planta-
tions are immense. Some have
probably one to three thousand
acres in one body, on the flat
lands though. The coffee seems
to be mostly in the mountains
and grows wild. The cocoanut
farms and banana farms are i'm
mense. We go to Santiago,
Cuba, from here.
