THE FARMER ANC THE
COMMON PROSPERITY

The present situation in Texas has
more than demonstrated the fac. that
an industry rests upon the shoulders
of the farmer It, therefore, follows
that upon the result Of his activities
and enterprise determines the pros
perity which shall fall to the share Of
any community or country
The failure OF cotton prices, due 20
no fault Of the farmer. has established
a necessity for a change In system
and the RELOCATION of cotton to a sec
ond place in the farmers estimation,
that the best interests OF all be con
sdered. With a necessary reduction
in the acreage of cotton should fol
low corresponding increase in the
production OF those crops which VIII
not only prove profitable to the
grower, but which will contribute to
general prosperity.
This production should include
everything upon which the farmer and
his family depend for a common sub
sistence so that he may live upon his
farm and be practically independent
of those influences upon which he
usually relies.
The country merchant and banker
are vitality interested in the situation,
and IL will be safe TO assume that
with cotton TO a large extent elimi'
mated, they will be willing to assist
in the development of dairy and food
cattle and hogs Cooperation Of all
interests will assist in paving the way
for a better understanding and the
creation of a new farming in which
diversifcation will be the slogan and
the progress and prosperity OF the
farmer and the farmers family the
moving factor.
The railroads are practically in the
same category as is the man with the
plow, and the interests OF each are
mutual. Next to the farmer the rail
roads have suffered and are now suf'
fering more from the existing trade
disturbance than any other institu
ton. Only the rehabilitation of the
, agricultural territory and the develop
ment of the farmer, together with
some increase of the freight rates, can
restore the rail lines to a normal con
dition of prosperity and add to theii
, ability to serve the public.

The women Of the South, and espe-
cially those OF the cotton.growlng
States, are exerting telling influence
upon the prevailing conditions, occa.
stoned by the low price ofcotton, and
the accompanying stagnation Of bust
ness, by creating a demand for cot.
ton fabrics. This Is being done, Of
course, by each woman pledging her
self to buy only cotton goods for her
household and the clothing OF her
family. Such a determination In the
minds of the thousands OF intelligent
women Of Texas alone, is lever
enough TO lift the burden of the
farmers. Winter will soon be gone,
and the purchase OF new spring
dresses will give opportunity for our
women to prove themselves loyal TO
the best interests OF the times. Bene.
III will follow all along the line, to
the women themselves, TO the mer-
chant, to the farmer and to the gen
eral prosperity Of the country. Let US
hope that the women Of our imme-
date town and surrounding country
will catch this spirit Of helpfulness
and devote themselves to the further
ance Of this important measure that
so vitality affects the prosperity Of
our county, state and Nation.
