4SAFE farming" ALWAYS.
Outline Of a Program Recommended
by Government Specialists for
the Cotton Belt.

Washington, D CA program
of SAFE FARMING" for the
South is outlined in a circular
which the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has sent tc
bankers, business men and farmers
in the cotton states. The history
of agriculture in the South, it has
been stated. has been one of lean
years and fat years. Short crops
and high prices have almost invari-
ably been followed by big crops
aud low prices and, in consequence
the farmer has experienced much
distress. The increased attention
which has recently been given tc
supporting the people upon land
has already resulted in much good,
but there is some danger. it is
pointed out, that, with the price of
cotton rising, there will be ten
dency for farmers to return to the
old system of gambling on cotton.
If the people of the South produced
their own living, the circular
points out, it would steady the
whole system and keep the boat
from rocking. The safety meas
ures recommended are as follows:
First: Produce home garden
for every family on the farm, the
year round. paying special atten-
ton to plot of Irish and sweet
potatoes sufficient to supply the
family with food of this character.
Where feasible, have a patch of
sorghum or other cane to produce
syrup for the family
Second: Produce the corn necess-
ary to support all of the people on
the farm and the live stock, with
absolute safety
Third: Produce the necessary
oats and other small grain to sup-
pIement the corn as food. Pay at
tention to winter grazing.
Fourth: Produce hay and some
forage crop, sufficient to supply all
of the live stock on the farm. Use
Iegumes such as clover, cowpeas.
velvet beans soy beans and alfalfa
for the production of hay and to
enrich the soil with nitrogen and
humus.
Fifth: Produce the meat neces'
sary to supply the people. through |
increased attention to poultry and
hogs, especially. Plan to increase
gradually the number of cattle and
other live stock so as to have
sucffiient number to consume the
waste products of the farm and
make the waste lands productive.
Sixth: After all Of these things
have been amply provided for,
.prodw waS cotton for the market.
