NEXT YEARS CROPS.
Fmhs Should Now he Made for Larger
Tobacco Acreage and More Grain

| The Sumter Chamber of Commerc,
is urging the banks and mercantil,
establishments Of Sumter and Sumter
county to use their influence toward.
haVlhg every farmer, white and color
ed' TO plant some tobacco during 1917
so that there will be some surplus TO
pacco money in circulation again mex
year.
A great deal of the present pros
perity among farmers is due to tn,
nigh prices received for tobacco thi.
year with which hundreds paid theil
debts, leaving their cotton receipts n,
surplus cash. OF course every line O
business benefits from plenty of mon
ey in circulation.
the time TO prepare tobacco bed:
is near at hand. and if there is to ,,
any thing done towards a campaigl
Tor tobacco planting it should b,
started now.
The high price OF cotton will un
doubtedly cause tremendous ac
reage of that farm product, but .
one crop method is an uncertain bus
mess proposition for farmers at al
times, and during this war this woult
prove menace to business general
ly
Next to cotton, tobacco is tn,
surest crop for which a ready estab
iished market is created, with the cer
tainty Of a big demand.
The importance of planting sufii
cient acreage Of wheat to supply thc
demands of the people OF Sumtel
county during the war; together wit =
plenty of velvet beans, soy beans. win
ter cover crops, winter gardens, an,
the raising of the greatest abundanc.
OF hogs, poultry, and getting ready
Tor another bumper corn crop ar.
matters that should interest farmer
bankers and merchants, as well n
land owners alike.
There is grave danger that the hie'
prices of cotton will cause a stamped.
towards a greater acreage than i
safe, considering the uncertainty G.
the immediate business future. an.
decrease in other farm product
which provide food for man and beas
and which will increase in cost as tn
war progresses. 1t must be remem
bered that the taking of millions q
men. white and cOlored, hundreds o
thousands Of white and colored pro
ducers from the farms will neces
sarily have a tendency towards re
duction of acreage of corn, wheat
and other food products, while a
the same time greatly increasing tn
cost of everything we eat.
Extra cash will be needed no mat
ter how much is received for cotto,
or other farm products. Therefor
the switching in of tobacco as a deat
sure profit making cash crop is a goo.
idea on the part Of every farmer.
