Watkins, assistant extension director, Clemson college 8. C., who discussed the "Cutting of the* Cotton Acreage” in the Radio Short Course over WSB, Atlanta. This two weeks' course for farmers of the southeast was conducted by the Sears- Roebuck Agricultural Foundation in co-operation with the Soil Improve ment Committee of the Notional Fer tiliser Association. “Not only should there be a de crease In 1927, but in future years,’’ ■aid Mr. Watkiaa, “but when It comet to saying who la to do the reducing we find there are several different class***, and condlt.ons of fanners with which to deal. There are the farmera, all too few, who own their land, farm Intelligently and while they are aet back In years like 1920, manage to keep their beads above water and continue their Independent, self-supporting way. This class already produces 80 to 90 per cent of their living on the farm. They do much of their own work and utilise labor saving machinery. They will not have to reduce as much as others. fit Is the duty of the landowners Htiff others responsible for financing agrfcmyure to bring about a different tenant system. Tenants should be led and required to give more atten tion to producing a living for them selves and to soil sod farm Improve ment. This will automatically reduce their cotton acreage and will be beneficial to themselves and land- owners. “The light Is at last beginning to dawn on all of us in the southeast, that we must be more self-contained end less dependent on one source Jt Income. The southern farmer must learn to have his fields covered with a green crop every winter. Our mild, open winters permit of the loss of more soil fertility than Is removed by crops. Northern soils are frozen and not subject to this loss. All these things have a direct bearing on the acreage In cotton In the southeast The grower who follows these poli cies can continue »o grow cotton, and after provHUbg for a self-sustaining fysteni of diversification, may In four, out of five years produce cotton at 4 profit • ' “The year 1927 Is not a year to gamble on cotton production, but for the grower who uses the best seed and the best methods and the best side lines and who - reduces acreage and cuts production costs, there is hopf for 1927 and thereafter In cotton growing. Such a farmer cannot be put out of business because he !m the veteran and expert who puts the other kind of grower out of business.” TREASURER’S TAX NOTICE The County Treasurer’s office will be open for the purpose of receiving taxes from October 15th, 1926, to March 15th, 1927.
