"cowLEss. sowLEss, HENLEss FARMS"

Being 4 mere newspaper man. we never presume TO hand out
advice 10 farmers about how TO run their business. But John
Fields. farm paper editor and recognized in Oklahoma as an cx-
ccent authority on agricultural matters, has long been accorded
the privilege Of discussing farm topics. and hence we have no
hcstancy in quoting him. Under the heading used above, Mr..
Fields whites in part as follows:
A study OF reports OF conventions and conferences TO con-
slider the state OF southern agriculture leads to the conclusion that,
hitherto. they have been long on oratory and short on operation.
The end to be sought was never better expressed than by Henry
w. Grady, when he said:
"When every farmer in the south shall eat bread from his own
fields and meat from his own pastures and. disturbed by no creditor
and cnsaved by no debt, shall sit amid his teeming gardens and
orchards and vineyards and diaries and barnyards, pitching his
crops in his own wisdom and growing them in independence, max
ing cotton his clean surplus and selling it in his own time and
in his chosen market and not at a masters biddng-getting his
pay in cash and not in a receipted mortgage that discharges his
debt but does not restore his freedom - then shall be the break
ing of the fulness OF our day"
Those sentiments so beautifully expressed are always APP
plauded wherever quoted-applauded and that is all.
DR.. Seaman A. Knapp started the agricultural demonstration
work in the south and laid the foundation for its agricultural re-
juvenation. Among his Ten Commandments of Agriculture are
these:
Increase the farm, stock to the extent OF utilizing ali the
waste products and idle lands of the farm" Il
Produce all the food required for the men and animals on
the farm"
On many occasions he reiterated, Zone of the foundation prin-
ciples OF OUR work is that the farmer should raise the food for the
family and for the farm stock so that his principal cash crop may
be all profit"
Those who have been carrying on the agricultural dcmonstra-
ton work in the south have failed to obtain the results for which
DR.. Knapp hoped. That cotton farmers generally have not been
influenced by agricultural oratory and have not practiced these
sound precepts is clearly shown by some recent reports of the
bureau of the census. This table shows the number of farms in
each 100 farms in the cotton states, which raised no calves and
which raised no pigs i'll 1919:

II every farmer in the cotton states had, in 1920 and 1921,
fed and MIXED one COW; bred and fed one sow and fattened and
killed and cured the meat from her litter; and made full use Of
what two dozen hens, assisted by a rooster, would have produced,
things would be very different now.
II bankers and merchants had not extended credit for the
production of cotton to any tenant farmer who did not have at
least one COW, one SOW, two dozen hens and a rooster, and a
rental contract under which the landowner provided suitable
shelter for livestock mad permitted the production of feed on a
share-crop basis, few landowners, cotton farmers, bankers, and
merchants would be in trouble now.
a COW, a sow, two dozen hens and a rooster, properly cared
Tor, will produce more food before next fall than their present
cost will buy. If you have customers or tenants who must be fed
until they make a crop with which to pay interest on the old notes
and accounts, you can't feed them more cheaply than by putting
them in the way Of feeding themselves With the products of the
livestock which should be on every farm.
Farming should first of all be based on plans which make of
It a living-making cinch- instead Of merely a money-making chance.
Those who control credits in agricultural communities can not
escape responsibility for the disaster which inevitably comes from
unsound farm practices.

BANKS MAKE GOOD SHOWING.

The reports of the Chickasha banks, made under the official
call for March 10, make a showing which should be no less graft
tying to their depostors than to the bankers themselves. Careful
examination Of the statements indicate that all our banks are in a
stronger position than they were when reports were made in re-
spouse to the last preceding CALL We have had occasion to saw
before and we repeat now that this community has been peculiarly
fortunate IN having bankers who conduct their business in the
safe, conservative way that makes a bank strong and worthy Of
public confidence. Our bankers and equally so the people Of
ehickasha, are to be congratulated upon the conditions shown in
the last statements.
