COOLIDGE AND THE TARIFF
You possibly didn’t get President
Coolidge in his admonition to the
othe: nations not to ask for a reduc
tion c: the American tariff in their
f_c(‘mcvsnions asked of this country in
the payment of the war debts, or in
entering the world court. And while
the big intercsts in this country are
beating off foreign trade, they are
killing our American markets abroad
for wheat and cotton. The Fordney-
McCumber tariff law has done more
to block the sale of surplus Ameri
can farm products than all other leg
islation combined in a generation.
But Coolidge can not’ understand
that this country is larger than the
i\qs:lqm‘ manufacturing interests. The
south isn't republican because it is
‘a whitée man's country. But manu
cturing is steadily coming south. To
stop that tendency Coolidge must
have a tariff law that will pile up
millicns for the eastern manufacturer
and Keep him at home. In the south
he would be in company that doesn't
believe in special legislation in his
interest any more than it believes in
special- legislation for any other in.
terest- the farmer for example,
If the wealth of the country comes
'mnxh and develops here, the risk of
fabsorption is too great for the bosses.
But the FKordney - McCumber tariff
law must be repealeq or modified to
a great extent. Mr. Coolidge may be
a great statesman, but his greatness
will not consist of his efforts to pro
tect the esstern manufacturer who
buys the elections for the tepublican
pariy in order to exact hundreds of
millions in tribute from other classes
to enrich himself. |
The complaint against that is nnwj
becoming country wide. It will not |
down. Pairties may come and parties
may go, but this thing will find its
end somewhere,
RIDING CULTIVATORS MEAN
MORE CORN AND LESS DEBT
The Progressive Farmer:
Glancing over a recently publish- ‘
ed report from County Acsmitl. D
Brandon of Onslaw County, l\'nrflzi
Carolina, we find this paragraph:
“We have placed. eight riding
cultivators this spring to date.
J. L. Henderson of North East
~ community is using one, dis
placing two plowmen and a
mule, and cultivating his crop
by himgelf. I was out to see
him Tueeday 2nd he had covered
all his crop except soybeans.
He had eleven acres of corn,
three acres of peanuts, eight
acres of cotton, and four acres
of tobacco.”
Encouraging farmers to use rid
ing cultivators is one of the most
important things a county agent can
do to help the farmers of his coun
ty. The South is never going to
grow enough corn or feed-—and this
means that it will stay in bandage
to debt and “time prices”—so long
as the maority of the farmers de
pend on onehorse plows and one
horse cultivators. Wherever this
condition exists it is impossible for
the farmer to cultivate much corn
or-feed acreage in addition to his
cotton or tobacco crop. Furthermore,
if a man doqs“ "',“lwf“w corn with
one ho'rse iml‘nm‘nw it “costs =0
much, to make it that in most cazes

cultivators but two-row culttivators.

just 25 much sense i ugink the same

chickens as in using the same culti
vation methods for corn and cotton.
Intensive hand cultivation with nigh
Foeing expenses isi necessary with
cotton and is justified in the case
of colton because of the high yiclds

case of corn, cither hand hoeing or
one-horse cultivation soon makes
the crop too expensive. With cot
ton we want high yields per acrc:
with corn, big yields per man. The
only way to make corn pay is to
cultivate in the early stages with
harrows and weeders and in the
later stages with two-horse culti
vators, Of course, in desperate

the wonderful quality of the tobacco.
Prince Albert has no near-relatives. Not

you are, if you don’t know Prince Albert,
you don’t know complete pipe-joy.
