sriiuuH conditions arc nou con* j
fronting; IM fanners of this State,
and ii ihr.-?? conditions are over to In
rtgasdled, II Moot i?r done by tin
farmers themselves, Can Ibey do It?
They can How can it )?e done?
There are thro. ? immandmanti that
they win have t?> obey t<> accomplish
ibis result.
The first one is tho diversification
?i| crops so ;is to make home S0lf?
.supporting and self-sustaining, win
it pay theni to do this.' It will. Why "
iu cause they can raise their supplies
on their OWn furms tot lees than half
they have to pay when tiny buy
these things. So ends the first com?
mandment. The second command?
ment Is organization and the third
one is cooperation. Why do I say
that the second one is organization?
Hccauae it is impossible to cooperate
without organization. Success can?
not come to the masses of the farm?
ers without cooperation in selling
their products. Qood business meth?
od must be put into the gelling end
of farm products.
Koa let us see what the farmers
have lost this yrnr by not observing
these three commandments which
they should have obeyed. First we
will take the cr)tton crop Of 1014, the
great money crop. We have made In
South Carolina practicnlly 1,500,000
hales of cotton In 1911. The cotton j
that has been sold up to date has
been sold below the cost of produc?
tion. So there is nothing left Tor the
producer. Could these conditions
have been remedied? They could.
How ? With a good warehouse sys?
tem backed by the State or South
I Carolina every "distre ssed" bale of
cotton of the crop of 1914 could have
been protected, and at least 1 cent a
pound could have been added to the
value of this cotton, amounting to
95 per b~1e. What would that have
.added to the wealth of South Caro?
lina? At least $7.500,000. If the
present warehouse system had been
Inaugurated in time, this loss, or
nearly all of It, could have been saved
to the farmers of this State. Would
not this have relieved the money
stringency of South Carolina? Is it
not the duty of any State to protect
the great money crop, when she
would have nothing to lose and ev?
erything to gain? So much for tl.<
loss on cotton.
Now, let us investigate the ?? ad
proposition. I think that we have
produced in this State about 650,000
tons of cotton seed and they haw
gotten out of the hands of the farm?
ers at a loss of at least $7.0u per ton,
making a loss to the farmers of about
$4,550.000. How can tho farmers uf
ford this loss.' Could this have been
averted? It could. How? By co?
operation aad good business manage
ment in the selling of this product.
Now, as to the tobacco situation.
I have been informed that we rais?
ed 40,000,(0)0 pounds, in round num?
bers, In 1914, und that It did not sell
for cost Of production. If I have been
correctly informed, I he North Caro?
lina tobacco growers sold their crop
of 1^14 for an average of 6 cents a
pound more than the price realized by
the South Carolina tobacco farmors,
mr' iin? a loss to the tobacco grow?
er, i I south Carolina of $2,000,000.
Could this loss Have been averted?
It could. If the North Carolina farm?
ers beat the South Carolina farmers
selling, it was just good business
methods put Into their system of
marketing.
Tb?M K?ve* ;, total los; on cotton,
cotton seed, and tobacco of eomethinil
"\<-r $14.000.000. How ean th<
farmers of tin* State Stand SUCh loss?
es as the aho\e" Can it b# corrected?
It certainly can. How? First. by ob?
serving the three commandments laid
down in the first part of this article,
and in the fourth place a K<><>d State
sferohouoe system backed up by the
Mate "i South Carolina. We have
nod a warehouse system recently in
aimur.i'ed which has already been
ot niiifh benefit to the fanners of
the State We RUM! maintain and de?
velop this system in order to add to
tin* wealth ol the Mate by saving the
loss on cotton a>>o\e mentioned.
It is Just abOOt all that the ma?
jority of the tanners cun do to pay
the interest on Ihe money thai they
owe. if the above conditions are not
1 ?1 taped, the future of our prosner?
it\ is not Plight. Who tan change
I hose conditions? First the formers
themselves. Mow? D] observing] Ihe
three eaeamandtnenta laid down in
