CUT DOWN COTTON PLANTING
Many Farmers Devotine More Time to
Potatoes, Wheat and Other Grain
Outlook Is Bright.

Ten million bales will be the maxi
mum OF the cotton crop In 1915, in my
opinion" said Judge Henry d. Clayton
Of Alabama, former member OF the
house, now on the federal bench, the
other day. Many farmers in the South
who have grown cotton almost exclu.
sively in the past have planted wheat
and other small grains, and are plan
ming to put in potatoes and other farm
crops upon which they can live. II is
a sure thing that the cotton crop this
year will be far less than that OF 1914
which reached nearly 100000 bales
and this undoubtedly will solve the so.

been very pronounced improvement

their cotton to market and getting a
pretty good price for it. The trend is

COTTON TO PLANT THIS YEAR
Some Thoughts as to the Area for
This Year-Farmers Urged to
Do the Proper Thing.

we wish to do everything within
our power TO reduce the area to be
planted in cotton for this year. II
would seem that the condition of the
cotton market and the low price,
would be sufficient argument, and that
the farmers would need no other. Still
we find many undecided as to the
amount of cotton they will plant an.
other year. 1t looks to us that the
proper way to do Is to plant all the
land you can see any practical results
from to other crops, and the rest in
cotton. Many will use the same old
deinsive argument that Il am In debt
and hence must plant all the cotton
can They fail to see that this
policy is just what has gotten them in
debt. We want to tell you what NJ.
w. s. Witham of the Witham Banks,
said: Any banker who will lend
money to farmer to grow more cot.
ton In 1915 is short above the eyes,
because any farmer can buy cotton
cheaper than he can grow it. Better
buy cotton than attempt to grow it."
We do not desire ever to see our
farmers again selling cotton below the
cost Of production. It is bad enough
to work hard all the year, and wait
until cotton selling time to get your
money II is tenfold worse to work
and fail to get fair wages, to be com
PEELED to cut your earnings in half.
No other workmen on earth are ever
asked to do this. And we cotton
farmers are indeed short above the
eyes" if we plant over 10 per cent
OF 1914 area in cotton, and If we use
enough fertilizer to make ever a TO-.
000,000.bale crop. This result will
never be attained by waiting until
everybody does their duty-but by
each individual farmer doing the
proper thing on his own farm South.
