BIG GRAIN CROPS IN SOUTH
Remarkable Record Made In Crop
oiyersification-Large Decrease
In Cotton Is Noted.

Nothing published about the South
recently has attracted so much atten-
tion as the statement based on gov
ernment figures that the volume OF
the South's grain crops this year
would exceed the value OF the great
est cotton crop ever raised" said J..
S. Barton Of Chicago to Birmingham
Age-Herald representative the other
day
Allowing for the fact that several
of the states grouped as southern are
big corn and wheat producers and
raise little or no cotton, 1t is never
theless remarkable record the South
Is making in crop diversification.
Il understand that Alabama will
produce forty to fifty per cent more
corn this year than 1t did last, and 100
per cent more wheat. That the Sec
tion generally known as the cotton
belt should be able in a single year
to make such gain in food crops as
Is being made In 1915 is OF vast i'm
portance from an economic point of
view. The low price of cotton last
fall drove the South to diversification
practice. What was something OF a
misfortune in 1914 will prove a real
and lasting blessing"

REPORT ON INSTITUTE WORK
Number Of Meetings and Attendance
Of Farmers at Them Is Steadily
Increasing Each Year.

Both the number of farmers insti-
tutes held each year and the attend
ance at these meetings is steadily In
creasing. according tc report on
farmers institute work which has been
published by the United States depart
ment OF Agriculture as Bulletin No.
269. During the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1914, the report states, 25.23S
of these institutes were held through
out the country. with total attend
ance of 3,656,3Sl. This is an increase
In attendance OF rs per cent over that
of any previous year. On the other
hand, the expense of conducting the
work was nearly $4,000 less than last
year, the total cost for the fiscal year
ending June 30. 1914, being s44.S97.51.
The farmers institute organization
conducts its work under many diff
ferent forms 40 that ii is almost i'm
possible to summarize its activities
briefly. For example. in addition to
the ordinary meetings, there were
movable schools in 10 states which
had registered attendance of liz, ,498
different people Field demonstration
meetings were also held In Is states,
although no record of the attendance
was kept. Special railroad trains were
organized in II other states for the
DllrDose NJ giving lectures and demnn-
strations. A detailed analysis Of this
work showing the number Of different
kinds of meetings In each state. the
attendance. and the duration of each.

Impetus Being Given to Spread Diver.
sification idea-Attention to New
System Of Farming.

Business plans are being made along
conservative lines. and already there
is impetus being given to spread fur
ther the diversification idea. Unless
cotton this year rises to levels seen
before the war, there will no doubt
be further expansion OF areas devoted
to other crops. Even should the price
mount chances favor much OF the
attention devoted to the new system
of farming becoming permanent. says
a Memphis dispatch to the New York
Post. The cotton crop has been
grown more economically than any In
recent years and its cost Is believed
to be smaller than in at least q decade.
Naturally this will be a factor to be
considered in trying to determine at
what level selling will be free.
Still. the spread Of diversified
farming during the last year has been
wonderful, and not only has the effort
to grow other crops been the greatest
ever made, but results are more salts
factory and the South will be more
independent from the standpoint Of
what 1t will be compelled to spend
than ever before.

WHERE DOES THE MONEY COZ

There are few farmers but what

money you elrn? II you are keeping
cows do you spend the greater parts
Of your receipts for hay and other
feeds or do you produce the feed on
your own farm and market these
crops by the milk and cream route? !?
Have you been running an account

harvest time must pay the storekeep-

from your crops? Possibly a greater

may make big money, but II you spend

thing on the farm that we need. We
can, however. produce great deal
more than what we are doing now.

there are many more. Keep an &C

FARM T0-THE-TABLE' FlASc0
Neither Farmer Nor Consumer Benefit
From Huge Crop Of Vegetables
Commission Men Blamed.

An investigation of produce-market
conditions made by the Sun shows
that not in years have vegetables
been 80 plentiful as now and so cheap
for everybody but the consumer.
Potatoes sell at 81 barrel W ele-
sale. as against $425 barrel year
ago. At retail they bring from 10 to
l2ls cents quart, or at the rate OF
1920 and 81 a bushel and IS and $40
barrel. Tomatoes sell at wholesale
for from 25 to Is cents q crate. and
to the housewife at the rate Of four for
10 cents. Onions have been bringing
25 cents bushel wholesale. as COM
pared with So last year.
Commission men blame the retailers
for their failure to adjust prices to the
advantage OF the consumer. Certain
ly neither the consumer nor the farm
er is benefited from the huge crops
and low wholesale prices. Between
the 81 cents barrel received by New
Jersey producers for potatoes and the
rate of $40 barrel paid by small con-
sumers lie unusual possibilities Of
trade graft
Has the net result of several years
OF active agitation for cheaper farm
produce been merely to make matters
worse for the housekeeper? Is it to
this that all the "farm-t0the-table
movements, the womens-club crusad-
ing. the reports OF commissions. has
come at last?
Obviously. the remedy for this in
equality OF produce prices has not yet
been found. Whether method OF dis
tribution just and equitable to all con-
cerned can be devised remains a prob
lem. But certain conditions have not
been yisibly improved by all the Off
cial inquiries and public agitation d.
dected to that end.-New York World.
