Northeast Mississippi a Great
Community

The Prairie or Black Belt"
lands of Northeast Mississippi
are equal in their productive
energy to any lands in the
United States. In many crops
it is superior to the famous
Delta Lands of the Mississippi
Valley. This is a strong state
ment, but facts nevertheless. A
ride on the lines of the M. & 0.
Railroad from West Point to Tu-
.pelo will convince the most
skeptical. The country is level,
so all modern farm machinery
can be used to advantage. There
is very little overflow land, yet
the whole territory is we'll
watered by creeks and springs.
Through this productive terri
tory flows the headwater of the
Tombigbee river, which stream
is the natural drainage, the
watersheds between the Tom
bigbee and the Mississippi Rivers
being farther west. This part
Of the state is famous for its
great crops of Alfalfa, cutting
five and six crops a year. But
all other grasses grow to their
highest perfection. It is also
a great corn section and it
would be hard to name a crop of
any kind that the Prairie of
Northeast Mississippi does not
produce in their highest eficien-
cy. Cotton is also a good crop,
perhaps the Delta is more pro-
lifiic in this but the Prairie lands
will run it a close second. The
soil is naturally rich, with plen-
Ity Of lime and essential sub
stance that is not found ia other
parts of the state. There are
great opportunities for the
farmer and stockman in the
Prairie Black Belt of Northeast
Mississippi. -GulfpOrt Missis-

This is my conviction: Unless con-
) ditions are materially altered the
American farmer will be forced to
strike. He will not strike for the
mere sake Of striking, and he will
not strike en- masse. But it will
amount to strike, for he will have
TO stop the labor of farming. He will
be. obliged to- stop furnishing the
necessaries of life for the reason that
there will no longer be living left
for him, on the farm
The farmer does not wish to strike.
He does not want to quit his lifetime
work. But he will have to do it un-
less the world grows different for
him. In no better way can I illus
trate his present plight than by this
table:

trouSly, because tne average AHiefl
can farmer will leave the fs-n, just
as he has been doing and as he is
doing today. He will say to his wife
and daughters: "Here, I must go te
the factory and get work by the day
so that I will know the wage will
come IN" He will flock to the cities
Not many persons comprehend what
this will mean. 1t is nothing short Of
a dual tragedy, this migration of the
farmer to the city. It is the simulta
neous lessening Of production and in
crease of consumption. Each time g
farmer packs up his household goods
and goes to the city there is one les:
man producing food for the world
and, at the Same time, one more
mouth to- feed.
But how can the farmer remain or
the farm? How can he labor day by
day, at the hardest work in the
world, when he faces a market that
will not pay by half the expense ne
incurs in raising his crop? Must he
toll on under more torturing circum,
stances than he has ever known II
all his centuries. of grim life?
The farmers cost Of living has
leaped upward along with the cost
of living which the millionaire pays
in 1920. The percentage is the same
no matter what the income. l can
not stress too strongly that the
United States has entered enirely up
on a different living plane, of which
the farmer is a part. More money
is called for now than ever before
1t is not the cost of high living, but
the high cost of living. The war pre-
cipitated this condition, which was
rapidly coming, anyway. The situa'
tion calls for more money-not ac'
tually more money in the world, but
more money to the average man
a greater distribution of money. 1t
has been fondly thought that the fed,
eral reserve board would normally
and effectually bring about this dis
tribution. If it, or some other agen-
CIV, does not distribute more money
to the agricultural class, the nation
will face serious troubles.
Prices Not Adequate.

When a short time ago farmers
representatives appeared before the
federal reserve board and asked for
larger credits, which were refused,
Senator Smith of South Carolina said
that if the farmers did not receive
aid they would have to go on a
strike. In the following article he
gives his reasons for the statement,
and presents the side of the farmers.
