I "GRM RAISED | David R. Coker Urges Plant? ing Only of Crop That Can S, Be Picked Early. i There are two main causes for the present cotton situation. First, world ?t ' poverty and trade disorganization 'y -.caused by the war. Second, overproduction of low grades. The first is not the fault of the cotton raiser and will disappear as the world returns to normal conditions. The second is the cotton raiser's fault. It can and should be cured at once. A large proportion of the cotton planters have for years been planting a far greater acreage of cotton than ! could be gathered promptly. The consequence was a heavy overproduction of low grades which have piled up until they have crushed the life out of the cotton industry. Low grades never pay. The mar-! gin of profit in the production of high , grade cotton (when there is a margin) is less than the difference in / price between high grades and low grades. High grades average double the price of low grades right now. Every farmer should raise all food stuffs that can be consumed by man and beast on his farm and then plant enough more to supply the towns. Only as much cotton should be planted as the labor on each plantation can keep right up with in pick* ing. We can finally work out of the terrible position that the "dog in the manger" policy of over-production of low grades has placed us, if this policy is generally pursued. "Live at Home," "Why Raise Low .Grades," "Not a Bale Below Strict Middling." These slogans should be adopted by all cotton farmers. They will ta^ce us "out of the woods" more quickly than mdny imagine. DAVID R. COKER. Hartsville, S. C. March 18, 1921. ; KELLY NOW* IN PEN.
