"I have been making: sonic money
at farming". but this year I haw lost.
My land is as good as any in the
county. What can 1 do with this
320 aeres and grow 110 cotton? Shall
t ;
1 make a poultry farm or stock l'arm,
or anything else?"
Natural conditions always indicate
what should be the leading farm interest
in any section. Nature has
made the Southern part of the Tinted
States the best country for cotton
that there is known to exist on earth.
Any effort to entirely reverse the
natural conditions will finally fail.
The fact is that there is not too much'
cotton. Foreign countries would like j
to take all our cotton at a fair price, I
for their mills are idle from lack of i
the raw material, and yet they are too
poor to buy it unless they could set
credit for a good deal of time. Europe
would gobble up the cotton if
she could. But without the cash and
retarded by the extra cost of exchange,
she cannot buy. These -conditions
will certainly pass ere long.
What you should do is not to abandon
cotton. You say you want to quit
making your farm only a cotton
patch. That is right. Quit making
cotton the only thing you have to
sell. Scatter your eggs into a number
of baskets so that if one gets broken
you can still have the others. That
is, grow less land in cotton and bring
the land up to making more cotton an
acre. The more you get per acre
the less it costs to make it. in short |
go to farming an stop being a mere
cotton planter. Clrow some cotton to
% f
sell, some oats to sell, some corn to
sell and feed, some cattle and hogs
to make manure and to sell, grow hay {
to feed. Keep poultry as a matter
of course, but drop all idea of jumpA
mg into a poultry farm. Keep plenty
of hogs and grow plenty of crops for |

iarm in a good rotation planned for
ho building up of your land in proiuoiion
.and with iimnf-y coming in at
iiffcicii! times in the year, the price
f cot-on will no: hear so heavily on
rou as it does when you have hothing
to sell hut cotton which has cost j
con three times as much as you can |
- I for it. i know ;; man who bought
in old l'l; 11-down cotton lann and
wont ti> farming on it. He did not
stop growing cotton but gave it a
snialht area and the best place in a
well-planned rotation of crops. He
crow grass and clover and fed cattle
an(1 raised mules, made much manure
and bought little fertilizer except
acid phosphate* He started with 1G
bushels of wheat an acre, but got the
land up to making 40 bushels. He
got grass on all the old red galls and
gulleys,, and today the Old worn-out
farm is one or trie iinest in all that
region and has made its owner a
wealthy man and a leader in the commercial
affairs of his section. If every
farmer in the South farmed in
this way. the price of cotton would
large part of the farming, livestock
production on the share basis is most
hkely to prove unsatisfactory, unless
both landowner and renter know the
business from experience and each
owns an equal share of ihe breeding
or productive stock.?The Progressive
Farmer.
The Steady Subscriber
How dear to our hearts is the steady
subscriber, who pays in advance at
the birth of each year. Who lays
down the money and does it quite
triadly, and casts round the ofiice a
halo of cheer.
He never says: ''Stop it; 1 cannot
afford it. I'm trettin.tr more papers
than now 1 can read." but always
says: "Send it; our people all like it?
in fact, v e all think it a help and a
need."
How welcome his check when it
reaches our sanctum, how ir makes
our pulse throb: how it makes our
heart dance. We outwardly thank
him: we inwardly bless him?the
steady subscriber who pays in advance.
