MILES. Textile cow, sow and
hen are responsible for the prosperity
that now belongs 10 this section. Up
TO year ago cotton was about the
only crop that was planted here Only
enough foodstuff was planted by the
majority or farmers to last them
through the Winter. Late in the
Spring most OF them had to go to the
feed store 10 buy feed for their work
stock on the farm.
Things have changed now The few
farmers who for years had practiced
diversification and who came out all
right when the cotton crop dropped
last year taught the all-cotton farm
ers a lesson.
Banks began to inquire when an APP
plicant appeared for a loan as TO how
his farm was managed. whether any
thing besides cotton was produced.
Out OF sheer necessity farmers who
had never produced anything but cot
ton for the market were forced to
raise something that would keep down
grocery bills and provide cash before
Fall. AS a result when Fall came and
cotton picking started there were
many farmers who were out of debt:
who had marketed enough produce
from the farm-products of the COW.
