The South is now in a position which might be
called "cotton poor;" that is to say, it has large
stocks of cotton on hand costing considerably more
than present market values to product and for which
there i^ seemingly no demand except at these sacrifice
prices. Although there aire sound fundamental
reasons whv cotton should not be as low as the pres
ent market quotations, yet in order to be in on the
safe side it is good policy not to raise the usual crop
of cotton in 1919?then the world will be sure to
take ^he cotton it can get and pay the Southern farm
Small Crops Brii
Every one knows that small crop years yield more
money. In individual cases this might not be so,
because one farmer or one section of the farming
country or even a whole State mgiht have a ruinous
' ly short crop. In this event they would nave to suifer
while more fortunate individuals in other sections
would benefit. But as a general rule when a crop

yield more net profit than twenty bales at $75 a bale.

business is to farm, and every acre he can make productive
adds that much more to the wealth of the
world. But a farmer's business is also a business and.
ha should not run it at a loss. Many people never
realize that the average cotton farmer's situation is

and either gives his own labor and that of his family
or hires labor to work enough land that will produce
say ten bales of cotton. Usually by the end of the
. season either through bad weather conditions or because
of boll weevil activity, or because of rainy
weather during the picking season, or a scarcity of
cotton pickers, his ten bales are reduced to eight
bales. Now taking 30c a pound as the market price
for rhttnn. we find that of this eight bales four bales
will be good enough grade to bring the full market
price of 30c a pound, or a total of $600. The other
four bales, because of bad weather during picking
or carelessness of pickers, or various other reasons,
might average say 18c a pound, $90 a bale, or $360
for four bales, or a total of $960 for his whole year's

crop would be cheap at 35c. However this may be,
the holders of spot cotton should hold their cotton'
until the demand for it will enable them to get back
at least the greater part of the production cost. England
has just lifted the embargo on cotton. France
and Italv are expected to do so. The ocean freight
rates have just been reduced and the.export demand
will develop immediately. It is expected that the
Peace Treaty will be signed soon?as early as the
first part of March. This being the case, the Central
European nations will be in the market for large sup*

The sixteen million bale crop season of 1911-12

er a remunerative price for raising it. Do not flood
the market with more than the market will absorb.
Any manufacturer when he sees that he cannot sell t
the stock of goods that he has on hand immediately
curtails his production. Farmers are manufacturers
and they can apply the same principles on a
smaller scale. If in 1919 every farmer will cut his
- - ?u i
normal cotton acreage by one-third ne win gex more
money for his crop and get paid at least the cost price
for any 1918 cotton he might have on hand, which
is now quoted below the cost of production.

The total value is the same, but the cost of handling,
of making, of picking, etc., is twice for twenty bales
as it is for ten. The same rule applies to all crops.
The slogan for 1919 should be, "Make a small crop
onH coll if fnr mrvrp than it. r.nst to raise." It is time 1

for the Southern farmer to quit doing, business at
a loss. In any other line of industry when the manager
finds that he is losing money he quits and tries
something else. It is good business and common
sense to cut down your cotfon acreage when you are
losing money on what you made the year before.

Diversification of crops is a common sense policy
for a farmer. If yobr cotton crop goes wrong, you
have your corn, your cattle, your hogs, or" other

it to the hogs, if necessary. The minimum base price
of $17.50 per hundred pounds, Chicago basis, as established
by U. SJ Food Administration for hogs, will
probably remain in effect several months. Even
when this price restriction is removed there will be
money in hogs. Europe is short of fats, and it will l
be a long while before pork gets so cheap as to be
unprofitable to the raiser. Europe needs food.. Eu
