We Must Cut Cotton Acreage.

Whatever the exact figures may be,
there is undoubtedly AN enormous
carry-over of cotton. Whatever the
exact percentage of acreage reduc-
tion ought to be, it is undoubtedly
going to be more than we are going
to get.
The Progressive Farmer has not
enthused over talk of SO per cent cut
in acreage for very simple reasons.
In the first place, we are not going
to get so per cent cut. No cut in
cotton acreage "greater than 16 per
cent has ever been achieved in the
past" While we should exceed that
figure now, we can't expect so per
cent. Consequently, talking of SO per
cent is likely to have two bad results.
In the first place, many farmers will
not sign up for a so per cent reduc-
ton program who would sign up for
a more moderate reduction program.
Second, the farmer who doesn't sign,
since he hears of a so per cent cut,
is likely to look for big reduction,
and therefore will increase (or fail
to reduce) his own acreage, whereas
talk of a smaller cut would not SO
n,rob encourape him in this folly.
These are the reasons why The
Progressive Farmer has opposed talk
of SO per cent reduction. We believe
talk of a 25 per cent cut would ac-
complish more real reduction. If
everybody followed the Memphis
Tennessee, acreage reduction pledge,
the cut in cotton would be so per
cent. But only fraction will sign.
Anyhow, we issue warning to the
selfish farmer who is counting on
other farmers reducing 40 to SO per
cent and assuming therefore that he
will increase. his own acreage, or at
least will not reduce. With the pres
ent carry-over of cotton, no acreage
reduction now in prospect is going to
be enough to insure fancy prices next
fall. Consequently, there is a very
rude awakening ahead for any traitor
who tries to take advantage of what
he imagines his brother farmer is go
ing to do.-Progressive Farmer.

1t Pays to Market a Clean
Grade.

We were the first to grow peanuts
in this section of the country which
was some 40-odd years ago, there
fore, have had considerable experiS
ence in marketing the crop.
We find that it pays handsomely
to first clean them thoroughly by run
ming them through homemade roll
er easily made for the purpose. This
takes out all dirt, trash, leaves and
stems, gives clean, bright polish to
the outer hull which is so important
for the Virginia or running variety,
as this variety is sold principally by
the appearance of the hull. A. bright
white hull, is always preferred to a
dark or speckled hull and brings sew
eral cents more in the pound. 1t
doesn't make much difference with
the Spanish variety whether the hull
is dark or bright; yet, it is best to run
this variety through the roller too, as.
to get out all dirt, trash, etc.
We then bag in four bushel sacks,
packing closely and sewing up tight
ready for the market. 1t always pays
to market clean grade rather than
dirty, trashy grade, as the merchant
will surely knock off far more for
dirt than is really in the bags. If one
is going to hold his peanuts, it's best
not to bag them until ready to sell,
as the rats and mice cut the bags

mer.

How Will You Handle Your
Idle Lands?


There are many unproductive acres
in the South, which will not be cul-
tivated this year if present indica-
tions mean anything. Lands of low
fertility, wet lands, or those unpro-
ductive for any reason are likely to
be left idle, or fenced and used for
grazing purposes. These changes may
be regarded as of little Importance,
but in reality if any considerable
acreage is put out of cultivation, or
if many of the old fields are to be
fenced and grazed by livestock the
matter is of tremendous Importance.
The effects may be far reaching, re-
,sulting in better farming and increas-
ed profits, or they may bring losses
and disappointment.
If these lands are fenced and any
attempt made to make pastures on
them and livestock purchased to
Craze them the expense will be con-
siderable the first year. Probably
more than the profits and more than
would be required to keep them in
cultivation. On the other hand, if they
are simply turned out to grow up in
brush, to wash away, or to become
liability instead of an asset, the loss
may be greater than would result
from their cultivation. TIE determine
which course shall be followed may
not be an easy task. If, as soon as cot
ton goes up again to average cost
of production, these lands are to be
put back into cultivation, it may not
pay to fence them, make pastures,
and stock them; but if the change is
to be a permanent one then fencing
and grazing is likely to be most eco
nomical. But the making of pastures
involves more than fencing and the
stocking of them with cattle or other
livestock. 1t involves the growing OF
feed for more livestock when grazing
is not available and this means the
taking of still more acres from cot
ton production and devoting them to
livestock production. 1t is therefore
probable that it will be more econom-
ical to allow these unproductive acres
to lie idle one or two years than to
fence them, and buy livestock to
Craze them, if the increase in live
