"Arc You a Farmer, or Merely
a Contractor?" Why is
It that the Corn and the
Meat that are to Supply
Your Farm Can Not be
Grown Upon it as Cheaply
as Upon Some One Else's
Farm?
I (Tin* Southern < ulti valor.?
Evorv now and then, a thought
ii flashed from some brain bearing
the stamp both of originality
and completeness so that it becomes
curreul irom thence on.
Just as the government puts the
official stamp upon a gold dollar
and semis it lorta to pass current
among all maukiud; so these
minds stamp the impress of their
thought tnto certain words and
s^nd the idea forth to pass as
meutal currency for ull time.
AH times oi unrest aud crucial
times, cause men to think more
deeply, and some minds coin
tiiese expressions that afterwards
become household words. The
struggle of the Southern farmers
to get a higher price tor their
cotton, has teen such a "crucial
time," and the tact that we did
uot get 15 cents for our cotton,
does uot make our cause wholly
lost The caus.ng ol the groat
masses of our farmers to think
more deeply than usual, goes far
to compensate us foi our lailure
as to price. We published two
such thoughts under our heading
of "Timely Suggestions" in our
last issue. They are too good to
lose. They will bear repetition.
They ate a distinct gain to the j
realm of Southern agricultural;
thought No man can put these
two ideas more clearly and forcibly
than their authors put them.
One came from a Tennessee larmer.
one from a Georgia farmer.
Our Georgia farmer. J. II. Johnston,
ol Newborn, (l i., says : ''I
was a contractor once; I contracted

meat, meal and llour I hat lie
furnished me during the season. '
1 lost out and now 1 am changing
my method^. 1 am quilting I
the contracting business and gone '
lo farming." Ihe question ;s 1
for us all?are we contractors or I
tanners? How much ol the con- '
trading business enters into our! '
system? Can we change our 16
mode to a better system <>l farin-j1
ing? Whether you are richer1
poor, landlord or tenant, tins is c
now a pertinent question tor us c
all- The great unrest among our I
fanners, shows conclusively that *
s (nothing is wrong. We have <
been told bv our would-be lead- ^
ers, that the fault was in Wall 9
street, in our banking system? *
in our government; in ihe Kng- j1
lish spinners' greed. and a nidusand
outward places, but (he truth!1
is that the chief fault lay at our *
own door: it is in our lack of a s
Irne-self-'- tistaini'iir. diversified : 0
system of farming. SonitMiiind- ^

oil the track, they have circled,'
round and struck the true trail, v
iiud trom different points you 11
heat them "op.-mng nut,' in1'
tones that tell that they have
struck the right trail.
Then come Mr. \V. JO. Jenkins %
from Tennessee, and says: 4 A11

somebody's farm ; it is presuma.
ble thai it can be most cheaply il
grown upon your own." Wh)? 9
