real cash crop.
The fact that cotton has been
UP to eighteen and twenty cents
per pound should not in any
sense tempt farmers, merchants
or bankers to depart in practice
or in influence from this pro-
gram. Are you going to play
safe or gamble on the European
war and bet that cotton will be
high and food products low?
One Of the serious problems Of
this nation today is the produc-
ton Of food. At this time no
man in the south can afford to
be tempted to reduce the pro-
duction of food and feed crops.
Rather should they be increased.
1t is the only safe plan.

southern states, in cooperation
with the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. are con-

ENoLAND's GREATNESS

A writer who has studied the
war situation, comparing the
nations engaged therein, has this
to say of England: All the
seven wonders of the world fade
on history's page compared with
the spectacle Great Britain pre-
sentsr today. A commercial ma
ton of less than so, 900, 600 peo-
pie summoned to arms where no
arms existed and in less than
thirty months she has a bigger
army than history ever before
recorded and a wal machine in.
Europe that for wealth of shell,
explosives and a war power is
the amazement Of the Germans,
who had taken ten times thirty
months to prepare for the at

Germany by entering this war,
and with an apfny of only 150,-

She is turning out millions of

Safe Farmine-A Balanced
Husbandry.

To Farmers, Bankers and Bust
ness Men in Cotton Territory:
Whenever the greed for a
money crop unbalances the Wis
dom of husbandry, the money
crop is a curse. When it stimu-
lates the general economy of the
farm it is the profit of farm
ing"
These words were written by
the late Henry w. Grady many
years ago. They are true today.
You are face to face with a great
question. Are you going to per-
nit the agriculture of the south
to again become an unbalanced
husbandry or are we still to push
forward toward safe farming?
High prices of certain farm
products may tempt farmers to
pursue an unWise course. Now
is the time TO take stock. to make
an inventory and consider the
situation.
Think back to 1914, before the
war, when cotton was around
thirteen cents a pound. How
much did you pay for meat, flour
and other food products at re-
tail? Go back in the nineties
when cotton was still lower in
value and what did you pay at
retail for food products? Then
compare the present prices of
food products with the present
price of cotton, the test is the
exchange value OF cotton. How

SuAnRing ~ IOr q living you are
simply Swapping a high priced
product produced by your labor
for a high priced product pro-
duced by the labor Of the other
fellow. When you follow safe
farming, however, you produce
your own food and feed at cost
and sell your cotton for the other
fellows dollars.
The south has made great
progress and has enjoyed won
derful prosperity in the past year
because it produced SO much of
its own living.
What do we mean by safe
farming? Here are the items
which should constitute your
program:
l. A home garden for every
family on the farm. From one
tenth to one-fourth acre, we'll
located. we'll titled and tended as
carefully as any other crop on
the farm, planted in rotation to
time the vegetable crops so as
to have a continuous supply for
the family table as many days in
the year as possible TO this
should be added l~one-fourth of
an acre of potatoes, either Irish
or sweet or both, to be used as
food for the family. An acre of
sorghum cane should be pro-
duced To supply the family with
syrup il means can be found for
grinding the cane and making
the syrup,
2. Produce enough corn on
each farm to last the family and
the livestock with certainty for
one year. with a little. excess for
safety.
3. Produce sufficient oats and
other small grain to supplement
the corn as food for one year
with certainty, remembering
that these small grains conserve
the soil in winter and provide
some grazing for livestock.
4. Produce the hay ard for
age crops necessary to supply
the livestock on the farm for one
year, with q little excess for
safety, not forgetting the le-
gume which add fertility to the
soil and produce the best hay.
5. Produce the necessary
meat, eggs and milk for the fam
ily. The meat should be pro-
duced by increased attention to
poultry and hogs because Of the
rapidity with which these can be
produced. Every family shoula
have at least two cows, so that
one can be in milk all Of the time.
A sufficient number Of brood
sows should be kept to produce
the pork for the family, with
some excess for sale. The num-
Der of laying hens should be in
creased and carefully tended to
produce eggs and poultry for the
table with a sufficient excess for
sale. Tho average number of
poultry per farm should be grad>
ually increased to at least fifty.
The livestock on the farm should
be gradually increased as a whole
SO as to consume the otherwise
waste products of the farm and
make the Improbable feeding of
poultry and hogs, beef cattle,
mich cows, etc.
6 When the living has been
amply provided for, grow cotton
for the main money crop.
