FOR THE FUTURE
The second feature that standi
out today is this: Our farming
equipment, Including land, ma-
chinery and morale has l.oen shot
to pieces. The depression inten*
sified by certain local condition;
such as the boll weevil menata with
us has brought about a condition
where tho farmers, through neces
sity and discouragement, have 1st
their farming equipment go down
Work stock is gettinff old, mt»
chinery nnd implements are belnr
patched and repatched, lands
not receiving sufficient attention
to make them more fertile. A youm
farmer looking to the future might
find it worth while to remembei
Mils, for It is not confined to our
section here, but is practically nn-
tl ,n wide. With the trend of popu
b.tions toward the Industrial cen
ters—with more consuming of fnrir
products In sight: nnd at the sam*
time with a tendency for the pro-
n*l with special application to oui ducing machinery to become lea-

C. E. NOTES
Another feature of the pregen'
situation Is the debt and credit sit.
untion. Certainly, In view of the
present situation and the future
outlook, the question of debt need
straight thinking. If the improve
ment in farm products cornea and
is certain that It will come
the farmer who hns freed himaeli
of the burden of debt, will be lr
shape to take care of the demand
and profit thereby. The questlor
of debt should be disassociated
from the question of current credit :
To use ones current credit to meet
the interest and principal payment
Of debt is poor business, except
ing to tide over a short period ol
emergency'. Debts necessarily mus
be met from earnings or from cap!-
Ital account. Including In some
cases the liquidation of a part o
the investment. In other cases th
burden can be met by Incre isinr
the valuation of property whl .i |i
supporting the debt. Logically
valuations will be increased by'in
creased profitable production, lair
ing the past few years, in many
cases farmers have used their credit
to get money with which to pay
interest on old debts nnd taxes. The
first step in getting in shape for
the future will be to change thi;
getting money for taxes nnd inter,
est from earnings. The next step
will he reducing the debt ration to
property valuation. Then the im
provement of the lands and ma
chinery so ns to get more efficient
production should follow. To thoiw
who can do this the future farm
ing outlook Is exceedingly bright.
