the acreage in cotton, when it is to

asked to throw away their labor on
half crops, with half fertilizers, and
with nothing promised or assured in
the place of the crops they have been
planting.
The farmers of this county, Of this
state, and of the South are willing
to be shown, but they will not be
forced into anything.
The country will not live half free
and half slave.

nearing a condition of want and star
vation.
There is no place for the calamity
howler in this section. There is no
danger that the man who is holding
his cotton will 60 to the poor house
if he sells as long as the price is rea-
sonable, nor is there any reason, so
far as the public is concerned, why
he should sell if he does not desire
to do so. He should risk his own
Judgment. But he cannot hold cot
ton, make money, pile up riches, and
then make the people believe that
the country is in bad financial plight.
What Should We Do?
But the question will be asked,
What should we do under the call
which has been made? Some people,
and a great many people think we
should take some action. We be-
lieve so too. We believe that the
representatives of the people, when
they met on next Friday, should
adopt a resolution to the effect that
the best results on the farms in this
country are to be obtained by diver
sifed crops, whenever possible, and
in order to bring about the planting
of less cotton, all farmers should
be encouraged to plant corn, grow
hogs and cattle on the farms, and
in this way to make the farms as far
as possible independent. We believe
that the farmers of the county
should resolve among themselves
to do something along constructive
lines to assist the less fortunate of
the farmers of the county, who are,
in fact, in the majority when it
comes to numbers. All the writing
and speech-making which can be en-
ployed will not help them. They
must be shown.
We may. reduce the acreage plant
ed in cotton, if we assist these peo-
pie at the same time in proper ways,
but we cannot do so by cutting down
the productive power of these people
without providing an equivalent.
They cannot be asked to curtail at
their own expense, without some
other means being provided for them
to earn an income.
How may the farmers and land
lords bring this about?
They may do this by financing
their own farms, loaning their ten
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1919-02-25

ants money, and by agreeing in ad-
vance with them that they are
to grow corn, small grain, peas and
other crops in addition to cotton, and
by taking care of the tenants in the
fall, instead of turning these tenants
over to merchants who want more
cotton raised, and who rush it on the
market as it comes in.
They may encourage the tenants
on their farms to raise their own
meat. Encouragement is not enough !;
they should assist them financially
in doing so. They may buy hogs, and
turn them over to these tenants to
be grown on shares, or they may sell
them on a credit, and take pay in
meat at current prices. The tenant
in this way will be encouraged to
plant crops of corn, cane, peas and
other products with which to feed
these hogs, and to raise them for the
market, if he has more than he de-
sires to keep.
They may encourage and assist the
+enant class IN raise cattle and poul-
try, to produce milk and butter and
to grow vegetables for the market,
but it is manifest that if this is to
be done a market must be provided
for what is produced. When these
people are shown a way to produce
these things more easily than they
may produce cotton, and a good mar
ket where they may sell them at a
profit, and learn that they make
more by doing these things than by
planting all cotton, they will cut the
acreage and look to other things.
They may be encouraged to grow
hay, op clovers, or other crops by re-
ceiving proper assistance and by
being shown that these crops will

AMERICANS IN BERLIN.

London, Feb. 21-American troops
have arrived in Berlin and been
quartered in different hotels, says a
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
and Copenhagen quoting The Extra

troops are said to belong to the
zone Hundred and Thirteenth New

be the protection of expected trans,
ports of food.

Washington, Feb. 21.-War de-
partment officials tonight were un-
able to. identify the American troops
reported in Copenhagen dispatches
via London to have arrived in Ber-

as the Zone Hundred and Thirteenth
New York Regiment puzzled officials
as there is no such unit of New York
troops in the army. ..-

It is stated that all other sections
are prospering, while the South is
being enslaved by few designing
people who are hammering our pro-
ducts. The people who buy our cot
ton are business men and quite
naturally buyas cheaply as they may.
And if these people who desire to
buy our cotton organize to buy it as
cheaply as they may, are they doing
less than the farmers are undertaking
to do when they organize to obtain
all they can for the product. A few
years ago the farmers of this Sec
ton, believing that bagging was SELL
ing too high organized for the pur-
pose of fighting the "jute trust" as
it was called. They had right to
do this as long as they followed legit-
innate lines. Now all people do Got
produce cotton. The great majority
of the people in the world buy cot,
ton products, but produce no cot,
ton. If they believe that cotton is
now at too high a price, and decide
not to buy in order to force the price
down, are they more worthy
than we are when we undertook by
cooperation, or banding together to
do the same thing. AS long as cot
ton is produced for sale, the pro
