Morgan, president of the University of Tennessee, says, "There i are tens of thousands of farms in the ] south that do not have a cow, a sow t or poultry. They must have them, i These things are necessary to the t economic home life of every farm." 1 All development in agricultural regions of the south depends upon a c diversified farming system, and as Dr. i Morgan and otner autnomies nave 1i T pointed out, the most successful sys- 1 tem includes livestock in its program. \ The south has never produced enough a beef, pork, mutton and milk products s for its own use. Add the sows, the c cows, the sheep and poultry, with I crops to feed them well, and a change from poverty to plenty will be brought aboutin a very short time. t Making the Same Mistake Over and ^ Over Again. r We have been buyers instead of n producers of things that could and e should be raised at home; placing an fc ^ WtBMM - ". T* A cow and sow, sheep and poultry, vegetables for home use on every farm, Isms. ' I obstacle in the way of progress over} which we have taken an annual turn-j n ble. The day has come, however, t) when a change for the better will be ^ forced upon us. We have followed the P wrong course till we have about a reached the end, and the only way w left open is in making our farms selfsustaining. This can be done. The ti farmers of this section can raise j nearly everything required for home u use, and have a surplus of many prod- n ucts that can be sold for cash. t] How to Solve Our Problems. ii With the acreage devoted to the necessary grain and forage crops and e pastures, which a properly balanced t< agriculture requires, and the increas- g ed amount of livestock necessary to s established such a balanced agricul- fi ture, the much mooted cotton acre- h age will settle itself and the funda- ti mental problem of maintaining the a fertility of the land will be largely g accomplished. d RECORD SPECIAL A me-eleven cigarettes S TJ?

No plans 'or Co-operative marketing, or legislation to aid the farmers of the south, an be of much benefit to the man vho robs his land under a one crop, dip-shod farming system, and buys lis meat and bread. The southern fanner who raises :ows, hogs, poultry, grain and for tge crops is not hurt much by low >rices for his money crop. He can ivc at home, see his wealth increase nth the improvement of his lands ,nd be in a position to profit by "any uccessful movement for the benefit f farming interests, aiming Lands and Use of Fertilizers Good Business. Livestock raising and dairying in he south can be made profitable inustries, and some stock should be aised on every farm, but livestock nist be fed, and it is therefore necssary to raise forage crops and esablish good pastures. ^ grain and forage crops, fruits and will solve most of our farm probLegumes make land rich and furish excellent hay crops, but in order 3 raise these crops successfully the armer must use lime, acid phosphate, nd, in addition, mixed fertilizers here required. Agricultural authoraes agree that lime is the foundalon of successful diversified farming. I insures better crops, to be turned nder or fed to livestock and the lanure returned to the fields, and lerefore an increase in the producig power of soils. \ We should make the most of the conomic conditions which contribuw 5 the development of the soutj^s a reat diversified farmip^^ma livetock country. To^o this, every wmer must bear m mind that it is irgely a matter ot individual effort, !iat the best way to begin is to make start on his own farm, and then o to work with the determination to o his part. lDS. get results HALF MILLION COAL MINERS OUT WORK LABOR PRESIDENT SAYS A1 LEAST 100.000 NON-UNION MEN WILL WALKOUT. Coal production was stopped Fridaj night by the union coal miners, wh( quit their day's work in the mine; of twenty states with the avowee policy of remaining idle indefinitelj in an effort to force the operators t< accept the miners' terms for new wage contracts. Officials at headquarters in Indian apolis, Ind., of the United Mine Work ers of America declared the suspensioi would not only include 500,000 work ers, but also at least 100,000 non-un ion men would join in the walkout No last-minute instructions were is sued from headquarters and the onlj significant conference held during th< day by President John L. Lewis wa with Lonnie Jackson, president of thi Kentucky union district, where 5,001 union men will continue at work be cause their contract with operator has another year to run. Later Reports. Both operators and miners stam firm in the countrywide strike whicl has closed more than 6,000 mines leaving over 500,000 men idle. Opera tors claim many non-union men wh were idle Saturday in observance o the anniversary of the eight hour da; have returned to work. Both sides agree, however, that th strike is practically 100 per cent ii the great central competitive field o Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Westen Pennsylvania. Operators assert tha many pits are in operation in Wes Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennes I see and Alabama. Kansas operator on Monday agreed to return to th wage scale of May, 1917, providinj for $8.60 a day instead of the $7.55' scale named in the present agreemenl j . Union leaders claim victory fo . striking anthracite miners through th offer of several independent companie , tc grant the miners' wage deman< t if the men would return to work im t mediately. President John L. Lewis of the min i ers told the house labor committer that miners were prepared to "staj out indefinitely if need be until th< operators sign up a basic wage con tract for the central competitive field.'
