LUCKY STRIKE ciga rette Its toasted URGES OUR FARMERS TO CUT COITON ACREAGE It. Hlarris Advises to Apply Bsi".ness Methods NOW ONLY SAIATION Diversification of Crops Will lie Indi cative of Common Sense 1'1. Harris, coitlssi oner of agri cult ure, has issued the following statement, urging diversifiention of' Cr'optS and repluction of cottont acre age: "There is general belief in contser vative circles that if the South does not turn loose the unsold portion of the old crop of cotton the market will hold its own against other ad verse factors until more definite knowledge is had as regards the ex tent of the acreage reduction. Thell v South can have a price for its 1921 cotton if it waints to,' said a nen 'ber of, a large New York and New Orleans brokerage house who has just recently arrived from New York for a few days' stop in Atlanta. 'If the South wants ten cents a pound or less for its cotton such a price will be given, and if it wants 25 or 30 cents or above a pound for 1921 cotto(n such a price 'will be given,' he said. Now, this depends altogether on the farmers of the South as to the price they receive for the 1921 cotton crop. All the Soutlern farm ers will hai . to do to realize either price is to plant a large acreage or cut it 50 pet' cent fronm last year's acreage. New York speculators and EngIlish spinners bel ieve no more that the aereage will be cut :10 to 50 per ceit than they believe that the world is coming to an end in 1921. They hmtogh at such talk, some (10 not believe the aereage will be cut an acre, aund a few admit .10 per cent reduction and not one acre itore. They argue, what is a reduction of 10 per cent when the world is over stocked with cotton and still would he, even with a cut of 25 per cent. Of course, the speculatots and spinl nters of the world have a right not to believe farmers as you have said so often you would cut. cottol aereage anad you have inva ria Ivly increased. The reduct ion was for the other fel low, not for me, but this is onte tinte I believe t1hey ntea n tot cit nteirtge.

There is cu io more reason why the farmer on ;hould keep on growing a surplus an vhich he can not sell, whether it inq ye cotton or wheat or corn or hogs, lai han there is why an iron furnace >r a steel plant or a cotton mill m ,hould not keep on running when -it pc !an not market its goods, but would en mly keep piling up the stock with iut the cash or the credit to carry ho :hz' "tuff indefinitely. co "The farmers are beginning to learn th ndinary business common sense. rhey see that they are no longer in wise when in times such as the pres- of Lnt they keep producing when they w an not find a ready market for their product and can not find the credit bi mr cash with which to carry it until or the market is ready to take it. "Many of the so-called political - economists and a very large propor tion of the bankers of the country have very little knowledge of the real conditions of farm life, or of thb S reasons which justify a farmer in' declining to increase his production merely to accominodate the needs of those who want to buy his products J. at less than the cost of raising. "The banker feels no hesitation whatever in declining to lend money on good collateral if his supply of money is low, or of curtailing credit, as has been done throughout the B country during the last 12 months. The imanufacturer does not hesitate to shut down his factory if he finds that to keep it running would mean a dead loss every day and the piling , up of a surplus stock which it might take a long time to market. le ' know stliat his safety is to stop his iant just as soon as he finds that he can not run it at a profit.. "low is the farner to be able to get a profit ? First, hy diversifying his crops so as to raise enough food crops to feed his family and every lianrl on his farmt, also horses, cows, hogs and chickens. Ite should do this because he can raise it for less than half what he pays for it if he buys it, so common sense will tell him to raise it. ihe freight on corn by the car lot from Nashville, Tenn., is 40 cents per bushel. On a car of hay fro i.ithe West, $250 per car. I am sorry to say that a great many farm ers in South Carolina are buying it. The only salvation for thei this year is to cut cotton acreage 50 per chit. Don't say that it ought to be done. All the farmer has to (o is to adlopt business niethods and apply them to his agriculture and success alld prosperity and happilness are as sured hint. Now for the profitable agriculture in 1921, diversity crops." IN 31EMOIIIUM In memorium of Mrs. C. M. Pickett, w'ho passed awnay on Fehruary 28th, 1920. We long for a gentle voice that is gone, For a vanished sinile we long, But God has led our de' rn one on, And I(H cant do no wrong.
