than Slightly or much larger crops to
require at this time any argument of
the ACCESSIBILITY of adjusting produc-
tion to consumption as nearly as pos
sible.
1. Tobacco Acreage Must Be Re-
duced. There is at present the larg-
est carry-over of bright tobacco in
years, if not in the history of tobacco
production, and it will be absolutely
ruinous to the tobacco grower, wheth-
er member or non-member of the Co.
operative Marketing Association for
Tobacco to increase tobacco produc-
tion. AS a matter of fact, good bust
ness demands an actual reduction of
tobacco acreage and tobacco produc-
ton, and this should not be less than
10 per cent, in our Judgment.
2. Cotton Acreage Must Not Be Re-
duced. The same acreage planted last
year would produce under average
conditions ten million bales, instead
of practically eight millions produced,
and under real good conditions would
produce twelve million bales. Prob
able consumption and world ability
to buy do not justify more than ten
million bale crop, if that much, at
profitable prices to the producer. This
makes it absolutely necessary that the
cotton exchange acreage be not in
creased.
8. Live at Home. The acreage used
heretofore for cotton and tobacco, and
which should not be used this year
under safe farming, should be devot-
ed to food and feed crops-corn,
grain, hay, potatoes, sorghum, etc.; a
larger acreage for food and pasture
for one OF more cows for milk and
butter for the farm; larger acreage
for pasturage and feed for sufficient
hogs for the family meat; home or
chard and garden for fruits and vege-
tables; pasturage and feed for poul-
try.
With this "Live at Home" program
carried out, cotton and tobacco will be
clean, surplus crops, practically all
profit, and they can be held and mar
keted at the will of the producer.

COOPERATION IN PRODUCTION,
Tobacco Acreage Must Be Reduced.
Cotton Acreage Must Not Be
= Increased

Now that cooperative associations
have been organized in this and other
States to sell comparatively cotton,
tobacco, peanuts and other crops, and
organizations are being formed in
nearly all States in the Union for CO.
operative selling, the next important
and absolutely necessary step is CO.
operation in production. There must
be cooperation in production, not only
among the members of cooperative
selling associations, but between
members and non-members.
President Harding in his address
opening the recent National Agricul-
tural Congress said: "Some of the
functions of farm organizations are
to advise their members as to the
probable demand for staples, and to
propose measures for proper limita-
ton of acreage in particular crops.
The disastrous effects which arise
from overproduction are notorious. 1t
is apparent thai the interest of the
consumer, quite equally with that OF
the producer, demands measures to
prevent these violent fluctuations
which result from unorganized and
haphazard production"
Congressman Anderson, who was
chairman of this Conference, said in
his address: "The farmer must dele
gate the power of selling his crop and
of putting it in shape for market and
of performing all of the services nee
essary to its delivery in quality, quan-
tity, time and place to some organi-
cation which he controls" That is
cooperative marketing.
| We have in these statements from
these two parties high in the admin.
istrative and legislative departments
of the government special emphasis o.
the absolute necessity Of cooperation
| in selling and cooperation in produc
tion. Farmers have had too many re
cent examples of crops slightly less
| OF Just sufficient for the needs o
consumption bringing more none!

SMITH WRITES OF WEEyIL

Late one evening on Will
Jones' farm, when the boil wee
vii worked up next to the barn,
it was while Bill Jones was feed
ing his horse, when out in the
cotton field he heard a voice:
This is what the boil weevil to
her children said: 1t will soon
be time to go to bed, for you
look sleepy and ! do, too. But
you've got to quit taking one
row and go to taking two, as !
do. About a week later when
the moon was round, as old Bill
Jones was coming to town,
everything looked happy and
gay, when old Bill heard the boil
weevil say, kids, you've got to
work with all your might, for
the farmer you have got to
fight, for l have hired the light
ming bug to make us a light so
we can work day and night"

WHY NOT?

more cotton crop" before the
kaiser sets up his kingdom. This
is all right provided we feed
ourselves, our livestock and our
soils meanwhile. Cotton as a
surplus would have and will yet
enrich the South. AS a single
crop, it has impoverished us and
will continue to do so, weevil or
no weevil.
No county that spends more
for fertilizer than it's cotton sells
for can ever do more than the
frog in the well that climbed up
three feet during the day and
fell back four at night-fnally
get in hell.
No man with half sense will
deny that we are now in an eco
nomic hell, and if he will do as
much thinking as a sucking
babe he will see that the way
out is not along the path that
led to this terrible place. God
Almighty Himself would fail
should He adopt our system of
farming. We are going at it in
just the opposite way that he
taught us in the beginning of
creation. He created the soil
first because it was first in i'm
portance in his proposed plan of
creation. Why did he not Gre
ate plants first? Because if He
had there would have been no
place for them to feed and de-
velop. Livestock could not have
come before plants for same rea-
son. Man could not have come
before plants and animals be-
cause he must have both plant
and animal food before he could
exist on the earth. God made
the legumes to enrich the soil so
that non-legumes could have
plant food for their support, and
no nation or section which has
neglected the legumes in its ag-
ricultural practice, has succeed
ed any longer than it took them
to impoverish the soil and come
to poverty and want. I chal-
lenge the world to show an ex-
ception since the days of Adam
in the Garden of Eden. These
nations which have come to want
through soil robbery never came
back except through Gods origi-
nal method-soil building thru
the legumes in crop rotation.
Why Not?
In the name of the eternal
principles of God Himself, why
can't we see and appreciate such
principles of such simplicity and
of such vital import to our pres
ent and our future?
Is it expensive? No. A bushel
of velvet beans planted in corn
middles cost about $3.50 and in
addition to SIS to $40 worth of
grazing, will bring as much more
in fertility if we are not too
stingy to put them down in suf-
ficient quantities. We usually
plant about a gallon per acre to
save 81 in seed and thus lose
$40 or more. When we broad
cast stable manure we know-that
we have done little when we
have applied only two to three
tons per acre. Yet we do not
seem to appreciate the same
principle when we are applying
fertility in the shape of bean
vines. IN THE NAME OF COM
MON SENSE declare to you
I don't know. Why not plant
soy beans in The rows with the
corn and the velvet beans in the
niddles and grow three crops at
the same time on the same land
and enrich our lands the faster
Again I declare to you | don't
know. Maybe some one is think
ing that it will ruin his corn
