MUST QUIT EATING
CROP BEFORE MADE
South Must Stop Time-Honored sys-
TEN OF Economic Suicide,
Says II. G. Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special 1.-THE peo-
pie Of the south must quit eating their
cotton or other so-called cash crop
before 1t is made If they aver expect
to accumulate wealth and have the
comforts and luxuries of life due
them" says H. G. Hastings, agricul-
tural vice president Of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, and a fore
most authority on farm conditions In
the southeast.
1.-THE south must stop forever its
time-honored system of economic sui
cide," says Mr.. Hastings, Advance
steps were made last year toward .
condition Of farm independence in the
Cotton Belt. They we're forced steps,
1t is true, but they marked an advance
just the same, and more bread and
meat, more grain, forage and other
food and feed stuffs were made In
1915 than ever before, with the result
there are tens of thousands OF farm
ers better of than in past years,
despite short crops and business de-
preston.
with. higher cotton prices, 1t is
going to be a great temptation to
drop back into the old habit Of put
ting cotton, or whatever other cash
crop one may be growing, in pawn
for bread and meat. We are suffer
ing today from the old system fore
ed on US dy conditions following the
Civil war, necessary then, but unnee-
essary now.
Year after year we have stayed in
the same old rut al a matter of habit,
eating our crops, so to speak, before
they were made, a financially SUICIDAL
policy for the farmer, each year put
ting his nose a little closer to the
credit grindstone.
'1f the south had not been 80 rich
In natural resources, this system
would have bankrupted us long ago.
What's the answer? It is home pre-
ductfon by each farmer Of every dol
lars worth Of food ard grain supplies
needed on his farm that II IL posi-
BILE to grow on his cwn acres. This
means good big hone gardens; hogs,
chickens, cows and something to feed
them on through the year"
