T HERE should be a decrease In the

balance to our farming. system, ac
cording t<r D. W. 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.”
