THE ISSUES.
The action of the Lexington county
Democracy at the convention last
week will put squarely before thef
people, the issues raised at the last
session of the legislature. In instructing
the delegation to the state con-:
vention to support a similar resolu-\
tion next "Wednesday, Lexington
county will take the lead in making
the issue of this summer's campaign.
The program of the Joint Commitr
tee on Economy and Consolidation,
-' - which the Lexington county Democracy
endorsed was of wider scope that
!
? the title of the committee would im-1
ply, because it not only undertook to
\ apply the principles of scientific busi- J
'I1 ness economy to the operations of the
government, but it also undertook and
"s partially accomplished the shifting oi
^ ' the tax burden from land and visible '
property to incomes and othei
sources. As a result of the work oi'
' . the last legislature, money is now j
flowing into the state's treasury from
the gasoline and income tax laws, and
every property owner will this fall
and winter, when tax paying time
comes, find that his taxes on his lands
and houses, or merchandise and
equipment has been correspondingly
reduced. Had the full program of

be seen, but whether it does or does
not; the issues raised in the legisla,
ture cannot fail to determine the
trend of the state campaign, particularly
if Mr. Hughes, as now seem.'
likely, should decide to make ihe raet
for governor.
There was also another member ol
this committee who took an active
and leading part in its work, bu'
about whom little has been said, and
that is Senator Lightsey of Hampton.
The Hampton senator labored in
season and out of season on the economy
committee and in the session to
make the committee's work successful.
He is not in the race for statci
honors, but is running for reelection
5t? the senate. He has antagonized;
powerful local interests in his county
iu his successfful efforts to apply
principles of correct government in
loical affairs, but his friends believ^
that the people of Hampton county
will return him to the senate, where
he will be of added usefulness to the

ate who are attempting to block Henry
Ford's efforts to secure and develop
Muscle Shoals will have a very hard
/
time making the j people believe that
their efforts are not prompted by
selfish interests. Cheap fertilizer
would mean a great agricultural development
that would benefit the
whole country with the exception of
manufacturers of fertilizers. To be
sure the interests of the government
should be properly protected. No one
wants to see the government simply
turn over the plant to Ford for his
own profit without a considerable
benefit to the people. This he hai
promised. All that the government
need do is see that the terms of the
contract are such that neither Ford
nor his successors will be able to
dodge the obligation incurred.

Xhe recent municipal campaign in
Columbia would seem to indicate that
when it comes to politics women are
goilng to follow the lead of their male
ancestors, consorts or broths -s, as the
case may be, and vote independently

THE COTTON FA RMKIi

Ey: J. O. Thompson ^residen:,
Alabama j . C.
A.. Roba, Alabar.
The message of O; . :..rencc
Poe, editor of the Progress: v<; Farmer
to the New ?;rle:. "otton
Conference, has cremy essed
me and I hope ev? srti e. .1 farmer
and every m a inter- ed in
the Southern farm -c will ; ad it
and give careful to the
same.
It has been m: contention for
some time, that '.r minds have
been so set on work.nc la her < heap,
that we have lost smht of ou; higher
opportunity of fmhiiugt'or higher
prices for the prod-net of o lr labor.
We could t- ' i: pay labor
more and have more ? :" the f; nit of
the labor here at home, > ather
than sending the product to d stant
lands to be enjowl by ? stant
people..
Among other t'o'ngs ?u Poe
says: "We are never oror.tr to get
on a basis of permanently profitable
cotton prices Uji'il the eo-igestion
or disproportion of .heap
negro labor in cotton nrodurmon it
remedied." True, ami we all know
that this labor will ? ver be pat on
a better basis until v.? r an get more
for the product cf u. We will
never get more for the product of
u until we learn to organ ;zo and
lignt for it.
Through the American t otton
Association we mace Urn figii', last
year, for a reduced acreage, a-d we
made the movement -o vi motive
that when the tab >rs of cotton
found what the ret I was,
the staple went up by leap* and
bounds until it had i nched ~n advance
of 100 per cent., thereby
doubling the value of the . arryover
and doubling the value of the
crop then in the process of production;
adding hundreds of Millions
to the wealth of the southern farmer
and to the bankable oapial of
the South.
I have been identified with farmer
movements for 30 year*-bat no
movement ever started in the south
rendered the service to The South
as the movement so aniy )ed :>y J.v
S. Wannamaker of St. Man hews,

ever been so valuab'e to the South
from a material standpoint an this
man. If we of the Sooth are wise
we will capitalize on him "nhu demand
his continued . crvice-s r long
as he can tender them.
Wannamaker knows the s ory.
Wannamaker loves his people.
Wannamaker has a uc &i> syi apathy
for the white and riegrc laborer in
the field. Wannamakei knows
"The laws of changeless * justice
bind oppressor with oppre^aed and
close as sin an?l suifering joined
we march to fate at re?.s? vS&vahnamaker
knows that the Southern
farmer suffers from the application
of this idea in his dealing with ti*e

We call oyrselves free mon and yet
we submit to a policy thai binds u.
to our masters, the gamblers and
cotton1 takers? tafnely submitting
to our rigorous destiny.
We face! this year in the South
inevitable calamitous sit nation . ithe
weather permits there will;
an over-production of cotton v ? vp
the consequent slave labor pricey.
If you doubt this inquire m any
neighborhood of the Sta* c and yyti
will find that John, Bill and Jake,
are going to increase from a little
bit to a heap. We are up again*a
paradoxical situation, viz: If wc
succeed in production on a large
acreage greater will be cur failure
than if we fail in product;oii\
So much for an unorga-kn * pr.?gram

MORE SKASO.S . ;
By: Oarl'-'Williams, President. Ar erican
Cotton Growers Kxor-tngv,
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Special to Cotton News:
Again it is worth whi!* r.Y :
How much cotton will y>u. plan*
this spring?
Most of us have the hah'' of
blaming somebody else wY tbium
go wrong. In the matte. o{ cotton
acreage, however, we misY"
well fix one fact in our mind* righ:
now. That is, that if the fari-m:>
of the South plant a heavy voir...
acreage this spring, and if th; yrk
which they receive for the.
next fall is not satisfactory . : hoy
can have nobody to blame b"i
themselves.
I sometimes think it mignt b - a
fine thing if the Govern rue. v< :
the power to say how n ><.,
of cotton should be grv.v. i
year. The thing is actually .ring
done by the British Government
reference to cotton produ< '.lor; m
Egypt. By governmentt die,-.the
Egyptian acreage foi i .-tl v. fl"
reduced about 28 per c- : xin l .
that of 1920. This decree at-- heludes
the years 1922 ano 12. though
it is subject to sorer* ; md:
cations if the price g -'agl
enough for a reasonable j ; o .
the cost of production.
Last summer Will.-.-- !.
Meadows. cotton special .. > >
United States Departmen1 Aa.-,
culture, made a thorough .
gation of cotton conditl
Egypt. Mr. Meadows I.-.? ; ' ,
say:
"The policy followed not only by
the United States and Egypt but
also by India, of making a reduction
in the acreage planted to cotton
in 1921 seems most wise. It is
our conviction that, a continuation
of this policy for one more season
will be necessary to dissipate the
surplus cotton still ?<n hand in
Egypt and America and put the
price of cotton back on a reasonable
cost-plus-a-profit basis. It is
essential to the welfare of the
world, and to the cotton producer
in particular, that a sufficient return
be received to maintain the
culture of cotton on a profitable
basis."
While the consumption of cotton
has been greater this year than last
there is still reason to believe that
we will go into ne>:t year with between
3,000,000 and 4,000,000 bales
of carry-over in American hands.
This is more than normal. A big
crop of 1922 would again flood the
market and result in low prices and
further poverty for the cotton farmer.
If it is profitable for the British
Government to limit cotton acreage
in the countries under its control
because of the fact that too
much cotton is being grown, it certainly
is equally profitable for
the farmers of the South, acting on
their own initiative, to do exactly
the same thing.
THE FOLLOWING PLAN FOP
RAISING COTTON UNDER
BOLL WEEVIL CONDITIONS
IS ABOUT AS PRACTICAL AS
ANY THAT HAS BEEN DEVISED
BY SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
OR OTHERWISE UF
TO DATE.
The destruction by the boll
weevil to the cotton crqp for the
present year will be the greatest
ever recorded even with a dry
season, and with adverse seasons
the destruction will shake the cotton
consuming world from center
to circumference. Millions of dollars
have been spent in efforts to
I discover some plan for either de
stroying the boll weevil or minimizing
his destruction. Up to the
present all efforts through scientific
channels or otherwise have '
failed, and even at this early stag?.
. in many sections of the- belt the
, boll weevils are so numerous that
the farmers are becoming despondent
and are ploughing up their
young cotton and putting in other
crops.
The following plan is about as
practical as any plan, that has been
suggested up to date for producing
cotton under boll weevil condi"
tions:
1. Prepare your land in October
by blowing it up with dynamite
.
2. Lay it off in rows 12 feet
apart, and plant your cotton seed
in December-.
3. When your cotton comes
up thin it to one stalk in a hill
23 feet apart. .
4. Spray each stalk twice a
} a day with Holt's German cologne.

7. Bum off all nearby woods,
and cut down dead trees and
burn them.
8. Dtis't the following mixture,jpn
your cotton twice a day:
Epsom Salts. Calomel, Cream of
Wheat and thei ^rhite of'an egg.
; 9,^. Have two hired hands-for
every acre in'yfculHvation. Furnish

10. Mortgage your farm andbuy
nitrate of soda and spread
plentifully around the roots of
the cotton.
11. If any of the bolls should
;get punctured have the puncture:
vulcanized at once. ; Any good
automobile tire man can do this
I f r\y vr?n _ ...
12. Begin picking your cotton
in February and try to have
it all ginned and' sold by March
15th. This will enable you to
go to work and grow corn, peas,
potatoes and hogs for home consumption.
This kind of consumption
does not need the services
of a doctor.
13. Pay your preacher.
Trade for cash. Settle all your
old debts, and live happy eve:
afterwards. (The Carroll County
Times (Ga.)
RENEWAL OF
FARMERS' NOTES
Local bankers in some sections
of the cotton belt are complaining
of the difficulty which they art
having in inducing farmer customers
to renew their notes which are
due and unpaid. , This is a most
unusual condition and indicates
+/\/\ /^1 AO Vll T? V* A A /\1 AAA A WV1 r
yjiiiy u;u Licai inc nu^cit'ss uaim
of mind affecting many farmer?
as to their future ability to liquidate
their indebtedness. It is an
exceedingly unfortunate situation
an done which cannot be approved
or condoned.
The* local banks generally
throughout the cotton belt hav<
strained their credit and resource?
to finance the farmers and carry
these obligations throgh the fearful
period of depression for the
past fifteen months. If a man
cannot pay his bank loan he should
certainly be willing to sign r-enewa?
notes and give all possible cooperation
to the bank which is holding
and carrying his paper. The
State and Federal laws governing
the business of banking do not permit
a bank to carry past duo note:*
on its boks and In its Bill Receivables.
The laws are very stricT
in regard to this matter, and if
past due notes are not paid or re%
newed by the makers it is likely
to cause very serious embarrassment
to the bank .
i
Indifferent farmers are probably."
not posted in regard to these matters
but they ought to be. Toe
many farmers pay too little attention
to tite business end of theii
affairs. The local banker is the
j best business friend a farmer ever
did business with. If credit i:
needed the most economic way lot
the farmer to uitilize that credit is
| in the form of a bank loan at a
j legal rate of interest and use the
money to pay spot cash for the
supplies he needs. A deposit ao.

is t.ho simplest ami safest method
of keeping hooks and doing business
with the general public. The
finest medium of exchange evei
invented is a bank check. .A bank
check requires no receipt in tht
settlement of accounts between parties,
and if all obligations and purchases
were made by checks there
would be but little or no need for
currency except for small pocket
change. The old time business ol
supply merchants and long time
prices is fast playing out. The
quicker the day comes for that
primitive and expensive system for
farmers to be obliterated and forgotten,
the better. The merchant
should sell strictly for spot cash or
1 . terms of thirty-day accounts, and
{ farm credits should be supplied
| through our banking agencies.
1 Congress now has under consideration
measures for providing the
machinery for short-time farm
loans from six months to three
years. This Federal Banking
' System, if enacted into law, will
duobtless utilize the local banker?
as the medium for reaching the
farmers. Agriculture cannot be
profitable unless the farmers are
supplied with cash loans at a very
low rate of interest so that they
can pay cash for what they buy and
get out of the habit of making accounts.
It is easy to make an account
but it is oftentimes a heart
rending difficulty to pay it. It h
uneconomic and unbusinesslike tc
buy supplies on time, oftentimer
even without asking or Knowing the
price of the articles purchased.
If the farmer must have credit,
lot that credit come through his
banker in teh form of a loan at a
legal rate of interest. Meet every
such obligation promptly the day
it falls due if it is humanly possible
to do so. If not, pay as far
as.you can and get an extension on
the balance, but give prompt attention
to the matter in either
event. Of course, no hard and fast
rules can be laid down under con5
ditions existing for the past 15
months, but there is certainly no
excuse for failure to renew past
due notes. Farmers who can and
will pay out of debt should try
and get on a cash basis and stay
there.. It can be done if farming
is operated on the right kind
of v-* sin 033 methods. Formers
