Every family should have at least
two COWS so that one can be In milk

dard to which to work. For a tenant
farmer not less than one and prefer
ably two COWS; not less than one and
possibly two sows; not less than rs

the small owner farmer would be not
less than two milch COWS, not less

stock should be we'll tended, well fed

=. When the living has been pro-
vided grow cotton for the main money
crop. I have endeavored to lay down
general principles rather than to spec
lily particular crops. For example, m
semi-arid sections Of Texas and Okla
the grain sorghums would nat
urally be substituted in place Of the
corn, and these, together with Sudan
grass, would furnish forage. These
same general principles apply to to-
bacco territory and rice territory.
To put this program into effect two
suggestions are made to the bankers
and merchants in the cotton states:
ID That they conduct a program
for a change in the conditions on
which credit is extended to farmers,
so that safe farming may be foster
ed and not discouraged.
(2) To carry on an organized cam
paign for marketing surplus products
