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."
