This statement was made recently.
by II. G. Hastings. president OF BOTH
the Southeastern Fair Association and
the Georgia State Chamber of Comb
merce. in discussing general FARM
conditions in the South.
Very naturally. most of this FARM
prosperity is credited to the high
price OF cotton and. Of course, the high
price helped but the real down.at-the
bottom reason WIS that most farlners
owned their cotton when it was made
instead OF owing it for food and
grain bought on credit. as used to be
the CO e when the practice was to grow
all on nearly al cotton and buy on
credit all or nearly all food, grain ETC.
Present farm prosperity Is due
largely to what DR. Bradford Knapp,
head OF the demonstration work. has
SO aptly termed Safe Farming which
is nothing mere or less than growi &
on home acres every pound OF food.
grain and forage needed for family
and live stock use. When this is done
every other available acre can wisely
and safely be put in cotton or other
cash crop.
The expense OF making cotton or
other cash crop is. either directly or
indirectly, the cost of food for man
and beast that works the crop. Most
items OF food and grain can be BRO.
duccd on southern farms at cne-third
TO one-half what those same items
cost from supply merchants.
we made money last year by fol.

manent farm prosperity, home bro.
ducti0n OF home food and grain needs.
We can repeat this money making in
1920 by following the same common
sense way that put us right last year
and will keep us right in 1920 and
every year, if we follow it up and not
gamble in cottor planting.
It's great temptation to gamble
In cotton in 1920-zgamble in cotton

 Trading in livestock virtually has ceased as the result of an embargo on livestock shipments and packing company officials predicated a shut down of their plants within several days if the strike continued. This would force 50,O00 workers out of employment, the officials said.

The men re- ceive from $90 to $130 a month, union officials said.
 Livestock shipments to Chicago were being diverted to other markets or nearby feeding stations today.
