While crossing cattle on Monday
evening, Mr.. c. r. Darden and Mr..
Eugene Paul with several negroes
had a most trying experience. AZ
ter leaving Rodney, where they land
ed their cargo, they encountered a
terrific wind which their little craft
could scarcely stem, and the waves
rolled over the boat to the great dis
comfort of the crew. The wind blew
IA gale all night and the craft was
protected only by the willows and
sleep was obtained under difficulty,
as the night was intensely cold. The
wind, however, laid next day when
the boat made a safe trip home, the
crew being wet, hungry and worn
out with "a hours vigil.

own YOUR CROP
INSTEAD OF owe IT
Food And Grain Crops Will Make
Agricultural South Independent,
Says n. g. Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.) 1.-The cred.
ii system under which the agricultu-
raj south works and stays poor is an
alyzed In striking way by II. G.
Hastings of Atlanta, chairman OF the
agricultural committee of the Cham
Der OF Commerce, and a member of
the executive council of the South
eastern Fair. He does not mince
words in talking about the situation.
Every season during the last fifty
years." he says, there has been trou-
BILE in the cotton belt whenever the
crop was large and the price low, or
the crop short. Each time the cry of
hard times goes up, and the reason
back Of it is that the farmers cannot
get enough money to pay their debts
out Of their so-called cash crop-cot-
ton. II is disheartening because 1t is
so absolutely unnecessary.
"A cotton farmers debts are large
ly for food and grain, charged up
against him on the merchants books
at two to three times the price that
those same items could be produced
on his own acres. and usually without
serious interference with a crop of cot.
ton as large as he now makes.
The trouble is that most cotton
farmers owe their crop instead of
owning it when made.
The credit way looks the easy
way. but it strangles most farmers
before they get through life.
Il have said repeatedly in public
addresses that no state OF section OF
any country can be prosperous that
is regularly dependent on another
section for its food supplies. What
is true Of a state or section is true
of the individual farmer.
The great exhibits of grain, hay
and food products shown at the South
eastern Fair held in Atlanta in No
vember, give the lie 10 the statement
that these things cannot be grown
here at home successfully and prof
itably.
"A good big home garden kept
planted and rightly tended through
the season will produce half of the
living besides furnishing an 'abund-
ance for canning or drying from the
surplus.
when We make our food and grain i
we will have few or no debts ct the .
store; we will own instead of owe |
our crops when made, and farm 1
wealth win accumulate in the south !
instead Of farm and crop mortgages"
