Atlanta, Ca, Dec. Why
are we grmning under the low price
Of cottan?" asks one Southern pa
per this week, and it answers its
own question with the following
paragraph from another Dixie
paper:
Another car load Of potatoes,
onions and apples will arrive here
from Michigan this week, and still
we worry about seven-cent cotton. !"
What is true Of this town is
true Of all others in the South, says
the editor. mot until the far
mers raise enough vegetables, grain
and meat to live upon will the
South cease to groan and starve
when the bottom drops out Of cot
ton. In diversifcation ofcrops lies
the economic salvation and freedom
OF the South.

GRAIN PLANTING is

county realize that wheat is q good

a good food crop.
Especially is wheat being planted
on the Central tract just south OF

themselves together to dominate
another part. Did it ever occur to
you that the farmer is able to take
care of himself? Did it ever occur
to you that the banks are just de-
pendet upon the farmer as he is VI
on the banks? Away with all this
rot brought about by the conditions
of today men seem to lose their
minds. If there had never been al Y
war cotton would rot have sold for
| 10 cents. We have too much cot
ton. Let us take our medicine and
abide our folly. Let each individ-
ual farmer look out for himself just
as men in other lines. That is what
all the fuss will come to in It's last
analysis. There is but one secret
| in this whole fuss being stirred up
about the distressed cotton. We
have been living too fast and it hurts
to strike slow gait. You had bet
ter lookout for yourself, gentlemen.
The farmer is better off than you
are He has his cotton and your
money, too. Better let him alone
| il you would not clog the whole COM
merciAl machinery. We are being
told in the daily press thatsthe tide
has turned, and everything looks
bright. Lord, have mercy upon
usl In the same issues Of the pa
pers announcing this changed con-
dition is, the information that cot
ton is declining at the rate Of one
quarter cent per day. Assuming as
seems to be thought that we must
live or die by the price Of cotton, in
what respect has the condition
Ichanged for the better? 1t is still
selling at $35 per bale compared
with $50 six months ago, and dec.
lining each day. There is one res
pect in which the general conditions
have changed for the better, and
this will ultimately work out the
whole problem in a natural way.
! We are beginning to adjust purse
lives to the new conditions and pro-
fit by them. Each man as well as
farmer is beginning to figure out
the problem for himself andin due
lime the world will move as before.
The farmer needs no special legis-
lation, and least Of all does he needs
so many self-aprointed guardians
and advisers. He needs to learn
lsnd realize that he must work out
his own salvation just like men in
other walk Of life, Il.
