‘Feed Yourself or Perish.’
“Feed yourself or perish” is the
warning issued hv Clarence Ousley,
president of the Cotton Reduction
Acreage Movement Association, who
also declares that any farmer who
plants cotton this Spring with the
expectation of getting more than
17 cents a pound for his product is
a “mere speculator.”
Prominent buhiness men and bank
ers throughout the South are warn
ing the farmers against the folly of
planting a large acreage in cotton
again this year. A surplus will be
carried over from the 1925 crop,
which totalled about sixteen million
bales, and a crop of anything like
that size again this year will mean
ruinous prices, with hard times and
bankruptcy staring the people in the
face.! \
The - "People-Sentinel is not a
“calamity howler,” but as we see it*
the situation is fraught with grave
danger to the agricultural interests
of the South. And this view seems
to be shared by everybody except the
farmer himself, who will probably
disregard all warnings and plant
every acre of cotton that he possibly
can. We expresed the opinion some
time ago that the bankers can con
trol the situation to a large extent
and in an interview given out in
Columbia Saturday, Col. Harry D.
Calhoun, of this city, president of
the South Carolina Bankers Associa
tion, said: “There is little likelihood
of continuance of credit to farmers
who do not grow their own food and
feed.” Col. Calhoun advocates "bet
ter cotton on fewer acres and more
feed on more acres.” We would like
to see that slogan adopted by every
banker and supply merchant in. the
South.
The United States Government has
already warned the farmers against
over-production this year, bankers
and business men are issuing similar
warnings and the farmer will have no.
one to blame ‘but himself if he in
sists on pulling down the temple of
prosperity by growing another large
crop.
The handwriting is on the wall that
he who plants may read.
Confidence.

No weariness, sorrow nor pain,
No hearts that are bleeding and
broken,
No songs with a minor refrain.
The clouds of our earthly horizoft
Will never appear in the sky.
For all will be sunshine and gladness,
With never a sob nor’a sigh.
There’ll never be crepe „on the;'door
knob,
No funeral train in the skies.
No graves on the hillside of glory.
For there we shall nevermore die.
The old will be young forever.
Transformed in a moment of time,
Ipvrnortals will stand in their likeness,
The stai-s and the sun to outshine.
His Granddaughter,
EVELYN CREECH.
Go\an News.
The late Major John W. Holmes,
founder and for many years beloved
editor of The Barnwell People, often
remarked that “confidence is a plant
of slow growth.” Like a majestic
oak, it takes years to grow and only
a short time to destroy it. No longer
do men conduct their business affairs
on the “public be damned” principle.
In order to succeed, a business must
enjoy the confidence of the people
it serves.
Especially is this true of a news
paper. Like Caesar’s wife, it must
- be above- repvoaeh. ■ WlTPP ""PBWU T, "”‘
confidence is fost or shaken, it has
outlived its usefulness and, to use' a
vulgar expression, tj^e owner might
as well "spit on the fire and" call the
dogs.” ^
The PeoplerSentinel has always
strived to merit the confidence of
the people of Barnwell County. W’e
believe we enjoy it in a very large
measure and it shall ever be our con
stant aim to keep this paper in the
forefront of South Carolina journal
ism with an untarnished reputation
for truth anti honesty and square-
dealing.
