ing them at such high prices after
the season.
The question that now confronts us
is increased production. We are
bound to have a decrease in acreage
due mainly to weathe rconditions and
secondly, labor. | consider that crops
are at least two weeks late and to
continue planting and not to work
out that which is ready means it will
be later and corn will not stand much
longer without work.
/ want to suggest to cultivate the
corn shallow, if it continues wet, and
keep up regular cultivation. If we
fail to produce food and feed enough
this year we may not be able to buy
it another year, Judging from the de-
crease in wheat acreage and the
shortage in labor.

NEGROES ADVISED TO
GROW MORE FEED

Editor Log Camin Democrat:
| wish to say a few words, especial
ly to the negro farmers, as | feel that
know good deal about the plant
ing conditions. | find there is con-
siderable cotton to plant and judging
the weather and labor conditions,
deem it quite necessary to grow more
food and feed.
In some places the farmers are not
much more than half through plant
ing cotton and in some places, they
are planting very little corn. AS it
is getting late in the season to plant
cotton, | would suggest that we put
some of these acres, at least to corn
peas, peanuts and cane. The cane can
be used for making molasses and for
hay. Molasses is from 80 cents to
$3.50 per gallon and hay not less
than rs cents per bale. Then too, we
have chance to plant all of on,
land.
To plant more cotton at this sea-
son may mean that all of our cottor
may be late and consequently the boil
weevil may keep up entirely with the
whole crop. Failing to cultivate oul
cotton Immediately after this long
rainy season, may cause it all to be
late.
