showed the United States had in its

HOW MUCH COTTON IN 1919?

BY Bradford Knapp, Chief States Re-
lation Service, South; U. s. De-
partment Of Agriculture.
How much cotton should Arkansas
farmers plant in 1919? This may De
answered as follows:
II the cotton farmer Of the South
will only remember his experience
since 1914, he will be assisted in de-
termining upon a plan for the future
He should remember that often in
the past twenty years his greatest
profit has come from actual misfor-
tune; namely, bad season and q
snort crop brought high prices, while
a good season and big crop brought
low prices. He has seen disaster AMI
great financial hardship from the boil
weevil, from drought, from cotton
wilt in some sections. from the red
spider in others, from the outbreak
Of the war in Europe and from threat
ened Legislation. These experiences
should be enough to convince any
thinking man that speculation by
the farmer in cotton acreage is an
Improbable business. While the gross
return per acre in cotton raising is
the largest OF any single non-perish.
able farm CROP, II is important to
note that the cotton farmers do not
stand near the top of the list in aver
age wealth, and any comparisons be-
tween the all-cotlon territory and
highly diversified agricultural sec
tions are all in favor OF the diversi-
fed sections against the cotton area.
y. No One Knows Future Demand.
No man can say definitely what
amount OF cotton the world will need
in the next eighteen months. The
immediate demand for cotton, due to
the close of the war, must be salts
fled out Of the present crop. In the
face of the uncertainties of the pres.
ent time, when world trade has been
seriously disturbed and when the
whole Of civilization seems to be in
period Of tlux, is 1t not wise plasl
to develop an agriculture which is
safe for our farmers and which will
maintain the supremacy in cotton
production by safeguarding it by a
better balanced system of agricul-
ture?
! Play Safe-some Things To Do.
. The acreage in cottorF for 1918 was
next to the highest ever planted, the
highest in 1913 being only few thou
sand acres greater. Had it not been
for the unfortunate season we would
have had a very large crop of cotton
in 1918. Any, increase in the acreage
planted in 1919 over 1918 with a good
season would produce an enormous
crop of cotton with all Of the attend
ant risks which abnormally large
production has always brought to tho
cotton planters. d good average ac-
reage we'll tended, with good season
II conditions, will produce q large
crop. More attention should be Civ
en- to the securing of better seed, bet
ter preparation of the soil, commun-
ity production of unifGm varieties
and cooperative grading and market
ing of the product, rather than the
haphazard speculative planting of a
large crop. poorly tended and Of in
ferior quality.

Grainger County news. (Rutledge, Tenn.) 1917-current, 1919-08-07

(From Progressive Farmer, Dec. 3D.
For the average Southern farmer,
we cannot think of a better resolution
for the New Year than n calling
for better than average yields. Aver
age yields, whatever the crop, mean,
over a period of years, little more
than a living wage. But as the indi
vidual farmer rises above the average,
his net profits, nine times in ten, CORE
spondingly rise. The man who raises
cotton must see that u average Of
about one-third Of a bale per acre can
only mean poverty to the grower; the
man who grows corn and oats at u
average rate of Is to 20 bushels per
acre must see that there can be no
profit in such yields; our peanut and
tobacco farmers, our dairy and general
livestock farmers must see that so
long as they are content with a mere
ly average yield per acre or per ami
NAL, just 80 long will they find the
farming game Improbable and unsat-
isfactory.
Good land, planted to good seeds
and we'll fortified and well titled is the
key to successful farming; for good
land. plus good seed, fertilization and
tillage, means high yields and good
profits. In the new year, every farm
sr should aim at these; and in getting
Grainger County news. (Rutledge, Tenn.) 1917-current, 1919-08-07
Aim At Above the Average
Yields In 1919

them, 1t should be remembered that
rather liberal expenditures are justi-
fable. For instance, when a bale Of
cotton with the seed is worth $3.50, our
average per acre yield Of one-third OF a
bale is worth $50; but when we in
crease this to two-thirds Of a bale,
worth 500, we have a gross profit Of
$50 with which to pay for the cost OF
the increase. Of course the cost Of
this increased yield, if the matter be
gone about judiciously, will practically
never be as much as $50. More often
than not, in fact, 1t will be s25 or less,
leaving a net profit of $25 or per
acre. And the same rule will hold with
other crops and livestock as well. The
higher the yield per acre or per animal,
within certain limits, the greater the
net return.
The new year and the years to come
hold great things for the thinking, pro-
gressive, business-like farmer. Prices
promise to remain good for a long
time, and fair profits seem certain for
the man who farms right.
Let us, as our first New Year resolu-
ton, aim at putting our farms on a
big-yielding, money making basis.
There is no surer way for making farm
life more attractive and desirable and
for keeping the boys and girls on the
farms.

The Claiborne Progress makes
a timely suggestion when it says
that in the event a Constitutional
Convention is called in Tennessee
fewer elections should be provi-
ded for. That is, the Constitution
should provide for an election
every four years when all State,
couny and district officers would
be named. Under such an arran-
cement, the state as well as the
counties would avoid the biennial
fuses and turmoils incident to
ascertaining the well" of the
people. 1t would also be less ex-
pensive. Votes, like country ham
are high. 1t is said that the elect
ion held in Granger County last
August cost the candidates more
then twelve thousand dollars, or
about five dollars for each vote
cast indication that everybody
sold too cheap, or that somebody
sold to high. At any rate, were ell
ections pulled off just once infour
years, the cost would not be so
and the millennium would
not be so far away.

LONDON, July 22-Marshal Foeh
has touched the imagination Of the
English people. Following his great
reception by the people during the
Victory march, the marshal received
a wonderful welcome at the Carleton
Hotel peace dinner. according to q
copyrighted dispatch to the New York
World.
Scarcely was the dinner ended
when, as If by pFeconeeived signal,
every one Of the beautifully goWaSd
women in the room arose and fiocked
to the chair of the great marshal.
For a moment Foch was embarrassed
and 1t called for all his gallantry to
endure the enthusiasm OF his admir-
eTs before he could escape. They
were kissing his hand and face and
not until every woman had so testi-
fed her sentiments Of personal graft

cards that were presented to him in
quick succession. More than 900
menus today bear his treasured sigma

said II offer thanks to our soIdiers."
Marshal Foch was asked by the
Daily Sketch for a message to the
British people and replied:
You may say am amazed and
moved to the heart by the delirious
welcome I have received from the
English. had always understood
that the British were restrained and
phlegmatic and less excitable than the

ceived is quite as warm as that Eiven
