‘THE DAYLIGHT CORNER”
Corner Broad and Jackson Streets '
By J .W. FIROR
County Farm Agent
During tha last ten days, 1 have
been traveling’over the main roads
of JeffersoTi, Burke and Glasscock
counties. I remember rather din-
tinctiy similar trips made during
the fal lof 1914 and again the fall
of 1914 and again in-the tall of
of 1919. Looking back to 1,914 I re
member that practically every farm
was cultivated to tho limit unc

which thp dead trees .till atood
Traveling along moat any road anti
find that field after field warn plant
ed in cotton. It watt not unu.ua
to ace fields late In the full of 1914
from which not a single hound of
cotton had been picked. The pro
duction of colt* per acre war
good and the acreage wat exceed-
ingly large. The ptekIM of the
cotton was the greatest limiting
factor in cotton production at that
time a farmer could cultivate much
more cotton than his family could
pick, some .of the cotton remained
In the fields, unpicked after the
holidays.
In the towns of this section, as
fast ns the gins mndb up the bales,
the cotton was stored In the ware
houses. which soon became packed
and ns there was no ready markel
for cotton In the fall of 1914 it war
plied on the streets of tho towns
In most any town, along toward
winter, It wad possible to climber**-
to a bale of cotton tno*t,anywh<
in the business sections of t
towns and walk all over the main
streets by stepping from bale
bale. •
The year 1919 was another gooe
cotton year In this section. . Al
though the price was high, mud
of the cotton .was again plied on th*
streets as It was thought by mnnj
that the price would get, still bet^
ter Inter in he season.
During the period from 1914 tc
1919, there were no cash crop*
raised other than cotton; and fur
thermore, most of tho feed stufff
and food used were shipped lnt*
the section. Also values advanced
rapidly and farm# that changed
hands were constantly selling fo)
higher and higher prices. The la
market had also becomo r
highly competitive one.' Cropped
and tenants were In active demand
each year saw larger induce-
»n»« K<»iy.» rr.zic to set cropper;
and laborers.
OPERATED F
THE TOWNS
FROM
There are through this sectlof
(and this'condition has existed for
mnny years) many large planta
tions—moat of which are operated
from tho towns throughout the
section. The owners qnd controll
ing factors in most cases lived in
those towns and /were connected j P°wer.
with the businesses of the towns A * n
such aa warehousing, merchandis
ing, cotton buying and banking.
I have been reminded forcefulij
of nil this by certain contrasting
changes noticed when traveling
. through this section this fall,
j shall not mnke any attempt to give
■ reasons why these changes hnyr
come about but Instead wll Hr}
nad so t down certain things whlct
seem to be common factors or gen
’era! to the present farming sltua*
tlon aero.
T notice that there la a consider
able percentage of land lying out
That there is considerable less,
acreage In cotton. Furthermore th*
plantings are spotted. Around
a few towns, the acreage in cot’
ton is still large in relation to th*
total amount of plow land. Ther*
in nq cotton piled pu *on tht
Htreots. Thje smaller banks in
sozrfr of the towns nre no longe
operating. Some store building*
are also closed. In some communi
ties for several miles along the
road, field after field has been
->lant*d in Spanish peanuts. Ii.
most communities there seems i.
bo almost enough corn and hay t*
ford the work stock nnd cattle. Ir
some places considerable fencing
has been accomplished. In othei
communities, one sees the starting
of some new farming Industry. Ilk*

farms have been turned Into dairy*
which business has not been alto

1 Of Legislation
By ALVVIN OWSLEY
National Commander, American
Legion
INDIANAPOLIS—The American
Legion will present to the next
Congress n program of legislation
formulated to obtain Justice for
those who fought In the World
War nnd to sflmulnto a spirit of
Patriotism and higher dtlxenship
In this country.
The legion's first Interest fs the
welfare of disabled \feternns of
the great way. We shall ask fo»
legislation amending the Wnr Risk
Insurance act to extend the scop'
of hospitalisation nnd.rehabilitation
to thousands of sick nnd wounded
comrades who are unable to ob
tain .relief under the provisos of
tho Sweet bill, nnd that Congresr
consider thoroughly thp report of
the senatorial committee named tc
investigate the Veterans* Bureau.
The legion will urge that nfd br
extended only to those veteranr
who deserve nssistnnce.
Adjusted compensation for all
war fighters will be pushed by thr
legion nnd there in very little
doubt that It will be granted In the
next session of Ccngrcss.
It Is our plan to minimise the
cash option of compensation and to
nlaee special emphasis upon th*
land settlement and farm aid fea
tures.
If thousands of virile and ener
getic veterans could be Induced to
go back to tho tifad. America would
prosper from an Increase 1n pro

Believing that the safety of our
Institutions nnd democratic princi
ples are threatened by unrestrict

Congress to declare nn Immigration
holiday of five years, during which
time there shall lie an opportunity
for those aliens who are alrendy In

Intelligent selection of immi
grants in their native lands nnd as
sistance to them in establishing
themselves In America will be-
commended ns future policies fol

The legion feels that the un-
Americanised colonies of foreign

vists and that the Interests of th*
country will be best conserved by
restricting the flood of alien hordes
from Europe. *
