it from this gross amount should be

Pointing out that the 1918 yield was
freatly decided by the unfavorable

production this year, with average,
Id produce at- least 2,000,000 bales
jaore than the 1918 crop.
"Itrmany sectiops of the south/*" said
the statement, "diversified farming should
be practiced to a large extent. Many
firms and plantations are still devoted
entirely to cotton and fail iS produce i
wfficlent foodstuffs for the families or|
feed for the livestock. Such a system
ij faiatflous, since success or failure is
dependent upon a single crop, subject
tn the influences of the weather, insects,
diseases, transportation and markets. A
careful study of the situation has result
ed in the recommendation that each farm,
each community, and each section of the
*0uiii rnOuiu produce, as far n? n<\aHil>lo. I
its own food and feed for the sake of
economic production and to aave' trans
portation costs and intervening .profits
fkere the purchase must be made from
distant sections, In other words, thel
food and feed of the south should be;
produced on the farms of the south/'
