Talks to Farmers
BY CAPT. 7. F. PECK
Commissioner of Agriculture
Develop BY Cooperation

Just a few years ago, resident Ten
nesseans owned our timber and min
eral lands in the state. They owned
the undeveloped water powers. They
did not appreciate their possibilities
for development by cooperation; but
capitalists from other states did, with
the result that our own Tennesseans
have sold their birthright for mess
of pottage. Those resources are be-
ing developed. We are furnishing
them market for their products.
We are furnishing them cheap day
labor, and the profits are leaving Ten
nessee, to enrich other sections of the
country.
Now some things are not pleasant
to contemplate, but we had better
analyze conditions, understand them,
and do what we can to improve them.
While a small percentage of our
farmers are wide-awake, and proving
that they have the capacity to profit
by their opportunities, we all know
that too many of them are clinging
to obsolete methods of farming and
farm practice that every year reduce
the fertility of their farms and make
it harder for them to provide the
comforts and conveniences for those
dependent upon them. We know
they cannot continue indefinitely the
hopeless struggle. Gradually they.
too, will sell their birthright for a
mess of pottage, and they will join
the vast army of day laborers with
little hope of ever becoming indie
pendent producers.
The value of Tennessee soils and
their ready response to intelligent
treatment is known. Our climatic
conditions and splendid rainfall are
also we'll known. Capital also knows
that men trained in scientific agricul-
ture can be secured, who can take the
neglected land and the labor that will
then have no choice and rebuild those
farms and make them produce boun-
tiful crops and return good dividends
for the capital invested.
The possibility of o soils and ad-
vantages of climate and rainfall are
too we'll known for the land to remain
idle. 1t will be developed, but by
whom? 1t is far better for Tennessee
and Tennesseans to retain the indi-
vidual small farmer to till his own
ground, harvest his own crop and the
profits from his labors remain in his
own community, county and state, to
make conditions better for all our
people.
1t does not matter whether we are
farmers or engaged in some other
vocation; if we are Tennesseans we
are vitality interested in this question
Of improving rural life conditions and
we can all cooperate in getting more
cohesion among the farmers. Think |
,he first important step is individual
work in encouraging community CO.
operation. Prepare the way for boys
,orn clubs, girls tomato clubs, dem
,nstration and institute work, short
course work by the College of Agri-
culture.
You are interested in your home
community. 1t means most to you.
let ready for community cooperation
% that we can save the Tcnnesseans
he birthright that will elude their
,rasp unless you help them adjust
themselves to conditions confronting
hem that must be intelligentlY met.
