CHILDERS VIEWS
SITUATION VERY
ENTHUSIASTICALLY
NOT so BAD AS PAINTED-COUN.
TRY WILL EMERGE FROM
PRESENT TROUBLE

Mr.. Lee G. Childers, one of the large
farmers of this section, and a success.
full ones as well, was in Americas to-
day, having come UP to look after the
sale of few more bales of cotton, but
the low price deferred him and he Will
hold off until conditions improve. Mr..
Childers makes about $50 bales an
nually, besides an abundance of corn,
oats, hay and other feedstuff, which in
cludes a goodly supply of home-raised
bacon
At cents and above, Mr.. Childers
has sold goodly portion of his crop,
something like one hundred bales, and
this money has largely cancelled his in
debtedness. Many other farmers here
have done likewise.
Mr. Childers says that present con-
ditions will render the labor problem
an easy one next year. There will be
fewer renters and choppers, as supply
merchants in the towns are not going
to cater to such credit trade, and, in
fact, to little of it of any kind. Neither
will there be any heavy cash advances
i'll January, which farmers here are
called upon, annually, to make in
order secure an adequate supply of
Indifferent negro labor.
Mr.. Childers, as do many other far
mers, realizes that even had there been
no war to paralyze cotton values, the
enormous crop now assured, estimat-
ed at sixten million bales, would, of
itself, have put down the price to
something like or cents, or even
less. He believes in making the best
of a bad situation, and guarding
against such contingency in the future
by raising less cotton and greater food
crops instead.
Home-raised meat and grain, with
cotton as a surplus, Is the solution,
and many farmers here are going to
get upon that basis.
