Can Be Continued Indefinitely In South If Farmers Do Their Part, Says Hastings Atlanta, Ga-(Special.)-That the present wave of "farm prosperity" in the South is "home made" and can be continued indefinitely is the interest ing statement made recently by H. G. Hastings, President of both the Southeastern Fair Association and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Hastings said: "Unthinking people are very apt to attribute the present wave of farm prosperity in the South to the present high price of cotton rather than to its real cause." "Naturally, the high price has helped a great deal, but the real reason for the money being in the farmer's pock et or bank is that when the 1917 cot ton crop was made the farrier owned it instead of owing it to supply, mer chant at thc end of the season, as was usually the case in times past. Never before had the farmers of the South come as close to feeding themselves, their families and their live stock from their own acres as in 1917. They had need of few store purchases and made few or no debts." "If the 1017 crop had been made on the. old basis of plant all cotton and buy all food at present prices there would be supply merchant prosperity, but "little or none on the farms." "Naturally, the temptation is great to increase cotton acreage and de crease food and grain acreage in 1918. The man who does it is foolish. The whole world ls short of food and this coadition will not only continue but get worse as long as the war lasts. Continued high prices for food is as cer tain as sunrise each morning." "Real money-in-hand farm prosper ity is absolutely dependent on the growing on one's own acres of all the food, meat, grain and forage needed for home needs. Once that is provid ed for, every other available acre can safely be planted in cotton or other cash crop. The larger part of the cost of making cotton or other cash crop is i in the food, grain and forage consum ed in making it. * "These items 'home made' can be produced at from one-third to one half the price thc- merchant charges and Imme production of them means just that, much reduction in the cost cf making the cash crop. "Farm prosperity in the South can and will be permanent just as long as our farmers continue their farm op?r ations on a 'hom?? made' basis." Notice.
