The fine prices received by fla mer'
for the cotton crop ,lhis season will
weigh heavily in the balance on the
side of planting bigger acreage the
coming seas m, but farmers should re-
member that 10 large cotton crop has
ever brought big price, and no large
crop has ever brought the grower as
much money, actual dollars, as has a
medium crop. The worlJ needs cote n
and must it have and the bulk Of the
world supply must come from the
southern states, but it would be a
terrible mistake for tue south t. large
ly increase. berIcotton acreage the next
season atlthe expense of decreasing the
acreage of feed aud food crops, for the
farmer who must buy feed for his
stock and food for his family can never
make money farming. A year ago
q big campaign was put on to cut the
cotton acreage and the campaign was
10 small way successful, but the
heavy and continuous spring rains cut
the acreage by making il impossible to
work out the crop planted. and hence
the small crop of the present year. 1t
behooves every farmer to campaign for
himself this spring to the extent of
h )ding down his acreage in Gotten and
h Did up his acreage in foods aud feeds.
