Small Farm Figures
Senator Banks Sees Ruin for
Cotton Grower or Gambler. {.
To The Editor of The State:

To The Editor Of The State:
The impossibility Of producing
cotton under present and prospective
conditions is apparent to every practi-
cal farmer but it may not be amiss to
give through the press some figures
that the general public may be made
aware OF what is we'll known to the
men wl1e make the cotton and I wish
to direct to these figures the earnest
attention of all those who are to pro-
vide the credits to produce the 1913
crop. My figures viii be based on
conservative estimates and will be
found, on careful analysis, approx
mately correct
The average one mule farm in
South Carolina Will be used as illus
tration of the fact in mind. The av-
erage farm consists Of about 80 acres
planted in cotton anp grain. about
two-thirds cotton oH6-third grain re-
curing the labor Of one mule, one
able bodied man and two women or
large children. Such farm may be e6-
pected to produce in this State on the
average. with the use Of 500 pounds
of fertilizer and 100 pounds nitrate OF
soda per acre; IL bales Of cotton, 9V
pounds In weight and sufficient grain
and forage to provide food for the
mule and. laborers.
The following table will snow
whether such farm can be profitably
conducted under present and pros
pective conditions.
Expenses-5O0 pounds fertilizer per
acre at $50 per ton-s375. 100 pounds
soda per acre at sS4 per toIa-s12"
Picking Il bales at s12 per bale-s144
Wages, one able bodied man at $50
per n1onth-s42O. Extra labor for hoe
ing. etc.-s10O. Plews, gearing shop
bills, etc.-s25. Ginning and bagg1ng
and tfes-$60. 1nvestable expenses
unfueseen-s1O0. Total necessary ex-
Value of saleable pro-
ducts-12 bales $50 pounds each, at
20 cents per pound-s10S0. 4 tons seed
at go cents per pound-s24o. Total In
come 1890. Net loss on farm, s3o.
It will be seen that have allowed
nothing for rent Of land, interest on
Investment nor interest on money
necessary to produce labor and sup
plies at the figures quoted.
The foregoing figures are a non-
servative illustration of the cost OF
producing cotton on the average farm
in our State and will no doubt
apply approximately to all farms IN
the South. And yet cotton gamblers
are selling our cotton deliverable in
New York next October for 1S cents
per pound which ordinarily means
less than 1s cents in the. South.
The logic Of the situation spells
ruin either to them or to US and it IS
-up to us to say now which it shall
sall on. Would it not be wise for us
TO produce less and buy little fron

out its guarantee to the farmers OF
price OF ss2:.20 a bushe1 for the 1919
wheat crop was transmitted to the
chafrrnen OF the senate and house as-
ricnlture committees today by the
food administration.
The measure which was drawn by
officials Of the food administration
and the department Of agriculture,
was described by some senators as an
rotunibus measure which would per-
init the president to continue the food
administration in operation and to ex.
crcise all Of the bowers conferred up
on, him by the food control act.

ate committee, announced. that he
would not Introduce the measure IN

or other like powers would be con-
tfnued and she president would be au-
thorized to create any agency or

railroad service as long as the rail-
roads are under government control:
control grain exchanges and prohibit
trading upon them "at such. time or

wheat and to prescribe such rules and
regulations as may be deemed neces-
sary to protect the government OF the
United States from paying the guar
anteeA aforesaid for any wheat other

IN addition the president through
the agency he would designate could

pert wheat, wheat products or by
products at profit or loss "as in the
Judgment of such agency may be nee
essary." He also could lease, buy or
requisition storage space and pre-
scribe the terms to be paid for it.
In transmitting the measure to the
committee chairmen William A. Gas
