"Aa industry Prosper?--So Prosper The People"
Back to the Farms
* 6 ^ * ' ' . ^ '.Ar -? ?- .^r? . ... _ ?;
, * ' * > ;>
' 0 ^ A
Figures rtcently announced by the Federal Bureau of Census make the statling disclosure
that in the United States we have lost 2.3 per cent of our farms during the past 10 years. South
-- Carolina, according to the same 'report, has lost 18.1 per cent. In-1930 we have in ?outh Carolina
34,799 farms less than in 1920.It
is alarming to note that South Carolina has sustained the seomd largest percentage of loss, and the second largest loss in
total number of -farifis in the South Atlantic (States, and is third in the entire United iStates in the total number of farms aban- doned.
+ Such
a condtion constitutes our serious problem of today. It. presents a challenge to Industrial, financial, .commercial, political
South Carolina. , .
\
_Pott?n manufacturers recognize the problem. They deplore the wholesale movement of population from tthe, (farms to the
mill villages. _ +
TTiey are so deeply concerned that they believe the future of the cotton manufacturing industry in (no small way Is dependent
upon the rehabilitation of the farms and a 're-establishment of confidence in agriculture. *
- i - With thi% definitely in view,'the cotton manufacturers have frequently encouraged the production of a betler grade^ of cotfbo
on a more profitable basis, with better seed, /that a better price from the mills may .be justified. The Association has, as a set
policy, cooperated with Clemson 'College in this ,direction. The mills have persistently encouraged farmers to returfrto the farms.
There should unquestionably be a distinct movement back to the farms* > The cotton manufacturers would to a man be in
thorough sympathy with such a movement. Curtailed production has necessitated a surplus of labor in the mill villages, and
while doing everything possible ,to alleviate the trouble, it is entirely unlikely |thatc)cotton mills will be able to offer employmen.t
in 1931 to anything like the number who jworked^for (the mills*in 1929.
Sympathy, however, cannot solve the problem. Constructive action is necessary. Serious thought, confidence in tho future,
and a well defined program of agricultural revival is required. \
..The cotton manufacturers call upon Hand owners, bankers, merchants, law fnakers, Jn fact the public at large, to help solve this,
the serious problem of our state.
