HOW WE MAGE GOOD MONEY LAST YEAR ; Hastings Declares That Southern Farmers Can Repeat the Past Year's Prosperity, If They Will Atlanta, Ga.?(Special)?"The generality of Southern farmers made real money out of their farming operations j in 1919, more profit than most of them ever made before, despite boll weevil, unfavorable seasons and labor short-, age." This statement was made recently by H. G. Hastings, president of both the Southeastern Fair Association and the Georgia State Chamber of Commerce, in discussing general farm conditions in the South. * "Very naturally most of this farm prosperity is credited to the high j price of cotton and. of course, the high ! price helped, but the real down-at-the-! uihiuui i casuu w.ii> iiiai ixiusi l. cU.JLI.lt; lis owned their cotton when it was made instead of 'owing' it for food and grain bought on credit, as used to be the case when the practice was to grow all or nearly all cotton and buy on credit all or nearly all food, grain, etc. ' "Present farm prosperity is due largely to what Dr. Bradford Knapp, i head of the demonstration work, has so aptly termed 'Safe Farming,' which is nothing more or less thiaji growing on home acres every pound of food, grain and forage needed for family and live stock use. When this is done every other available acre can wisely and safely be put in cotton or other cash crop. "The expense of making cotton or other cash crop is, either directly or indirectly, the cost of food for man and beast that works the crop. Most . items of food and grain can be produced on southern farms at one-third I to one-half what those same items J cost from supply merchants. ' "We made money last" year by fol^ lowing the only way that insures per uia-iiem rami prosperity, nome production of home food and grain needs. We can repeat this money making in 1920 by following the same common sense way that put us right last year and will keep us right in 1920 and every year, if we follow it up and not gamble in cotton planting. "It's a great temptation to gamble in cotton in 1920?gamble in cottoD r in the field, which is just as bad as gambling in cotton on the New York' or New Orleans exchanges. I know: some folks who are planning to! double cotton acreage this year. They j are headed for disaster sooner or later. The wise farmer will play safe in 1920?play safe by doing 'safe farming.'

From a story: "Yells of joy art#? sinned up his throat."?Boston Trmn\ gcript HALF YnilR LIVING wIthout money cost Continued Southern Farm Prosperity Dependent on Cutting Production Cost Through Food Making and Saving Atlanta, Ga.?(Special.)?"Tens ol thousands of farmers in the South will face the problem of making cotton under heavy weevil infestation for the first time in 1920. Their success or failure under these new conditions will be absolutely dependent on the degree that there is food, grain and forage produced on their farms this year," said H. G. Hastings, president of both the Georgia Chamber of Commerce and the Southeastern Fair. "A few weeks ago the newspapers carried the report that an Alabama -county was preparing to erect a monument to the boll weevil, because of the good the weevil had done them in forcing them out of the 'all-cotton' poverty producing rut, intq the prosperity that always follows a diversity of crops and the production on home acres of every pound possible of food, grain and forage supplies needed by the family and li e stock. "Our good people here in the South have never, until very recently, taken the home or family vegetable garden ,seriously as a source of food supply. \ It has been looked on strictly as a ioeiio enmathi ntr of lift!#* imDOr D1UV 100UV| OVUtVbUiug v* - - ? s tance, something to be attended to the last thing on the place. The home garden, rightly handled, can be made to iJroduce half the food needed by the family and practically without money cost. "The average 'lick and promise' sort of a garden has little value. To be of real value the garden must be planned for, really prepared for, planted right and kept cultivated through the season, and cultivated whenever needed. That kind of a garden will keep its owner's table well supplied with an abundance of healthful food seven or eight months in the year, as well as furnishing an abundance of canned and dried vegetables for winter use. "Every mess of vegetables direct from garden to table, every can or jar of home canned vegetables from closet shelves, makes a hole in that store bill that is always a terror when 'settling' time comes. "Good home gardens have been real life savers to thousands of southern farmers who have gone 'flat broke' trying to meet store bills. A good garden will cut the store bill until its size is negligible. Give the garden a fair chance and a square deal in 1920 and the result will be agreeably surprising." I A. B. UTSEY ! INSURANCE .
