He is not free because he is
not organized. Thecotton farm
ers are disorganized pNield-
", mass, driven back All forth
by forces that have been operat-
ing since the single crop and
credit system became the order
Of the day, following the impover-
ishment of the south during the
Civil War.
1t is harder to organize cotton
growers. They lack cohesive
power Their leaders are provin-
cial. Their Daniels and Moseses
are usually men in politics.
Instead Of showing the cotton
grower the way out, they are
showing themIselves into candi-
dacies for office by telling the
cotton grower All about his past
woes and danning some one IN
Wall Street instead Of rousing the
cotton grower into realizing biz
own power and telling him thai
much Of the fault of his aerfdon
is in himself. {. /

bale and by other men who do
not speak his language.
The cotton grower is not inde-
pendent as is the grower Of
wheat, hogs or cattle, in which
there is much speculation.
The wheat grower depends not
on wheat alone. Usually he has
hogs or cattle or corn in addition
to wheat. Other agriculturists
have many marketable products.
They get in money three or four
times year.
The cotton grower puts his eff
forts and toll in cotton alone. He
grows it on credit. The credit is
usually up to q point where cost
is reas6 If the prices are low
er Of df6pping he is often fore
ked*to 1eA. The merchant or sup
| ply man can get out even. The
producer sacrifices his profit.
The cotton man has been an
agricultural slave as deep in
his slavery as the Russian peas
ant for whose woes we have been
lamenting for ! generation.

yield was only 11,161,0 bales.
If we had had 1914 season in
1918 we would have had stag
gering high yield.
If we plant as much cotton in
1919 as we did in 1918 and have
a good year, we will grow crop
so big, even in promise, that the
spectators will begin to hammer
the prices down before the seed
send stalks out of the ground.
If we plant a big acreage the
price Of the 1913 crop will drop.
If we let it be known that we
will not plant the graveyards and
fence corners in cotton, that the
acreage will be the 1915 figure,
cotton will steady itself at once.
If we grow abig crop this year
we will surely get under even
present prices for it.
This years crop will be expen-
siye. It must be grown on $3.50
wheat, on 35-cent bacon and on
81 corn.
This years crop will cost more
to grow than last years crop.

duction was the greatest of any

This Sunday we will let Europe

Cotton, it's price now and it's
price during the coming year
that's vital.
We are about to commit a blum
der ourselves which will be a
crime against ourselves.
The price Of cotton in sight is
being steadily hammered down.
1t is not material to state the
reasons. Always an excuse can
be found for Juggling the price
of cotton.
Cotton is affected by the storms
of India, the wars Of Europe and

cost of production.
But if you are bent on making
no money by planting a big crop
try to save yourself from bank
ruptcy and the pinch of hunger
by growing also:
s. Corn, cowpeas, potatoes, hogs
and other things you can eat.
Plant enough to feed yourself
and your live stock. This much
will tend to make you free.
The merchant and the banker
should take ahand. They should
tell the man seeking credit that
he can not credit unless he does
grow foodstuff.
The day is past when the sup
ply man can urge the farmer to
grow all cotton.
The various state organizations
should get busy. So should the
agricultural bureaus.
The situation can be saved dur
ing the next six weeks.
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1919-01-30

Let's try to get Jour freedom
back. Let's so arrange it that
the south can live ON food grown

Banker, merchant, farmer, big
and little. must stand together in
this fight. to save ourselves from
financial disaster and from that
unhappy condition of chronic debt
and loss.
We have the power of equality
in the struggle oflife. Let's use
1T and stand equal with the agri-
culturists of all other sections.
The world may be naked and
not perish, but the world must
have food or perish.
The world in 1919 wants food.
Let's grow food-lots of it-this
year.
