CUT COTTON COST
BY MAKING FOOD
Southern Farm Prosperity Absolutely
Dependent on Cutting "cash Crop"
Production Cost Through Food
Making And Saving.

Atlanta, (SpeciaD THE
cotton farmer got his bumps
again in 1921 between boil weevil, un-
favorable seasons. food and grain buy
ing on credit, combined with price
on cotton insufficient to pay him out.
Same old story, the same thing that
has happened three or four times in
the last dozen years." said H. G..
Hastings, President of the Georgia
wide development
I'VE might just as we'll face the
fact that with the world wide finan-
cial and political mix-up in Europe
following the world war, there is no
possible chance for using normal
to us if we continue to grow cotton
On the high cost basis that we have
been doing.
Cotton is the one best money crop
for the South, and probably always
will be. The time of war prices is
over and the problem from now on is
to lower cost of production and at the
same time afford the cotton grower
fair profit.
Cost of making cotton is primarily
the cost of food, grain and forage
for the farmer, his family, his labor
ers or tenants, and his work stock.
Cutting food, grain and forage costs
by home production will reduce cot
ton costs from one-third to one-half.
PLANT for an abundance of food,
grain and forage, thus cutting down
store bills, and the lower prices for
cotton will not hurt so much We can
not, with European countries so thor
oughly disorganized reasonably expect
high prices for cotton for several years
and we must make cotton at lower
cost, or else quit cotton growing.
Most of us cannot quit cotton,
hence the absolute necessity of food,
grain and forage planting in 1922 -
the making on home acres of every
pound Of food and grain needed to see
us through.
"ln this food production program,
take the home vegetable garden seri-
ously. Give the home garden square
deal, and it will surprise you in the
amount of healthful food produced. 1t
takes the least ground, can be plant
ed the earliest, brings quick returns
and If kept replanted and worked will
stay by you all the season through"
