WHERE THE MONEY GOES.
Why South Carolina Farmers Arc
Not More Prosperous.
(Greenwood Index Journal.)
When one wonders where "the
money" has gone to, it would not be
amiss to reconsider some of the things
we, along with others, have been
harping on for years and years.
According to "the reports from the
fertilizer sales tax authorities in Co
lumbia, South Carolina, farmers spent
last year the sum of fifty-two million
dollars for fertilizer. If we take an
average of thirty-seven dollars and a
half for each bafe, for the State, as
we pointed out some time ago, this
would mean that Greenwood county
spent for fertilizer last year considerably
over a million dollars, possibly a
million and a quarter.
A far bigger and less excusable item
is that for food for man and beast.
The Columbia authorities estimate
that one hundred and ten million dollars
was sent out of the State last
year for this item. And if we take
the average by counties, it shows that
Greenwood county must have spent
almost double its fertilizer bill in food
last year, or approximately two and
a half million dollars. If we add these
two amounts together it will be seen
that the crop of cotton if sold at
present prices would not pay or much
more than pay these two items.
No account is taken' of the money
for automobiles and other things
which will run the total up enormously.
This part of the world depends so
largely on its agricultural products
that its entire prosperity is bound
up in that industry.
It is not "pleasant and not always
expedient to always be harping on
disagreeable features but it is sometimes
the only way to cure a trouble
that if not' cured will bring about
very serious consequences.
The farms of this county must be
made self-sustaining. There must be
money spent for fertiliser, but intelligent
farming will lessen the amount
to be spent for commercial fertilizer.
Cover crops, crop rotation and the
use of compost and forest litter will
not only bo better for the land but will
be money in the farmers pocket.
And above all that there must he
foodstuffs. The food crops must
not be figured or. in terms of what
their cost would be as compared with
cotton. liven when cotton was forty

vunix uic poumi wi: urged that more
attention .should be paid to food crops.
No matter if an acre of cotton would
buy more bushels of corn than could
be raised on the acre, the first essential
of the real farmer is to make
sufficient food to run his farm on und
then look after Ins cotton acreage.
Cotton is our chief money crop and
despite the impending danger from
boll weevil we must continue to plant
cotton, hut tIn* drain on tin; country
for l'od and fertilizer must stop unless

It Is a matter of general concern
for as has been truly said, "the prosperity
of the farmer is basic and when
he is crushed flat the whole country
suqers with him."
