troll Of small group of corporations.
II Is very bad state OF affairs,

likely there isn't any. The corpora

got possession. undoubtedly, by pro-
ceeding as advised by high class law
yers, who counted the odds OF long
litigation and final decision by the
United States supreme court and told
the corporationos to 20 ahead as they
have done.
But. some time. the people will get
back their water power. How? By
the same tortuous. wasteful process
that has started the railroads toward
receivership or government ownership

terseness, Hon. Bradford Knapp. head
Of the United States farm demonstra'

business men and farmers of the
South, covers the diversification situa-
ton as follows;
with the price Of cotton going up,
are you. MIR. Banker. Mr.. Business
Man and Mr.. Farmer. going back to
the old wayi The history OF the agri-
culture OF the South has been his
tory Of lean and fat years. The farm
or has lived In distress because short
crops and high prices are almost In
variably followed by big crops and
low prices. II We would produce our
own living II would steady the whole
system and keep the boat from rock
ing The entire agriculture OF the
cotton belt has been a gamble. II has
not produced rich and prosperous
farming people because of its uncer'
tainty, although cotton is one OF the
greatest cash crops.
with the rise In the price OF cotton.
are you going to play safe or are you
going to take chance? Now Is the
time to decide. II you gamble on the
price OF cotton you take a chance
II you follow the program outlined by
all the agricultural forces last fall
you will take no chance. Here Is the
program In a nutshell. the title Of
which Is Safe Farming:
Il. Produce a home garden fol
every family on the farm-produc'
Irish or sweet potatoes and wherever
possible. have a patch OF sorghum oil
cane to produce syrup for the family
20. Produce the corn necessary t
support all the people on the farm
and the livestock.
-. Produce the necessary oats AM
small grain to supplement the corn a
feed. Pay attention to winter grazinI
Of animals.
~. Produce hay and forage. Us
legumes.
"5. Produce the meat necessary {
supply the people. through increase
attention to hogs and poultry espe'
tally.
&c. After all these things have bee
amply provided for In the crop syi
TEN. produce cotton for the market.
IF this course is pursued the farm
er will prosper whether cotton is Is
or &c. II cotton is &c the farmer wi
be able to live II II is 15c there wi
be more profit In his cotton Gro
in the longrun than there would be
he neglected the living.
"Mr. Business Man and Mr. Farme
do you want the South to prosper pc
manently? II SO. lend your influenC
TO this great problem OF safe farmin
A campaign will be carried on In n
various states during the winter an
spring centering around the vario,
lines OF this program. Lend your a
and assistance to US in this campail
as you did last year. Not Safe
First. but Safe Farming Always!"
Added to the advantages enumerat'
by Mr.. Knapp In favor OF less cote
and more OF other things, II has be-
observed that q small cotton err
usually brings more money to 4
grower than large crop; in 9th
words, the more cotton he grows 4
less money he receives for II.
