f'- HOLD THE ACREAGE DOWN
With the price of cotton around thirty cents a
pound and a normal crop to the acre, the cotton
grower should not lose sight of the fact that an in
creased acreage in the crop next year will prove
cli. astrous to the cotton raising business. This year
-sve were blessed with an unusual season for growing
cotton. A decreased acreage was planted which has
made an unusual crop and more than was expected.
To Increase the acreage next year and have an un
favorable season, the farmer and cotton ' grower
;would be the sufferers. It is best to leave well
enough alone and next year plant a conservative
SHIP Of cotton—just as has been done this year—
then if we meet with an unfavorable season, the
M osses will not be so great. Diversifying crops has
wed this section of the country and it will continue
^iave us and bring prosperity. The day has passed
vhon we can hope to make money from one crop—
and that crop cotton. Cotton growing is too uncer
tain under boll weevil conditionf. Grain and food
stuff of all kinds, hogs, cattle and poultry must be
increased if we hope to prosper and be successful
in agricultural lines. It is purely a business proposi
tion and one which every farmer must face and
realize: that the greatest mistake which can be
made will be the planting of an increased acreage
in cotton another year.

Thoughts For The Day
Take heed that ye despise not one of these
little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven
their angels do always behold the face of uiy
Father which is in heaven.—Matt. 18: 10.
The sacred books of the ancient Persians say, “If
yau would be holy, instruct your children, because
all the good acts they perform will be imputed to
you.—Montesquieu.
WHEN THE LUMBER IS ALL GONE. WHAT THEN?
4 A good many thoughtful observers among Banner-
Herald correspondents and Banner-Herald readers in
this immediate section in letters to the paper indi
cate that county and community leaders are worry
ing over the problem of what is going to happen to
their respective sections when the present lumber
industry becomes a thing of the past. It is a problem
that will have to be faced one of these days and
forward looking leaders are already beginning to
call the attention of their communities to the prob
lem.
When the lumber industry dies away, thousands
of dollars each week that have been paid out in
wages in hundreds of small towms and communities,
will stop, and thousands who have been engaged in
this industry for the past two or three years will be
faced with the problem-of going back to fanning or
to moving to tome other place where they can get
work to do. Is it not the part of wisdom for these
smaller towns and communities to keep their people
at home, to revive farming operations and put them
on a profitable scale for the future? Not only these
towns and villages are going to be affected, but the
land owners ob well. Without labor to work their
farms at the present time a great many farms are
idle, and if the labor migration of the colored citizens
is augmented by a white labor migration in the
near future, more and more farms will btf» sold for
taxes. '■ -. '
I The Banner-Herald is not unnecessarily alarmed
over the situation in calling attention to the facts
that are facing us at this time, but we do think that
every community should begin to look matters
squarely in the face and to prepare ahead of .time to
meet these problems as they arise. If the 'south
wishrs to keep ita population under boll weevil con-
d Mons, and especially its agricultural population,
then the south must provide profitable occupation
on its farms for both white and colored labor. The
tenant cropper or the wage hand on the farms of the
south must be assured not only of a living but of a
profit on his labor If wo are to keep the farmB of the
south producing for the future.
A county plan or a community plan in every sec
tion of thq south should be agreed upon and adopted
dcring the coming winter. In this Immediate section,
wennuts and sweet potatoes along with a little cot
ton can be made profitable cash crops, especially if
community production is agreed upon, and co-opera
tive marketing Is assured. If sour'cream shipping
stations will be opened in every town and village, a
steady stream of cash can be brought in every week
In the year. If 60 hens are put on every farm, more
cash during the year can be brought in to make the
farm self supporting. If in addition to the cow and
hen, a few hogs are raised, then we will find farm
ing in the south once more profitable and-attractive
to our agricultural population.
But these things are not going to happen by them
selves. If they happen at all, they will happen be
cause the merchants and bankers and land owners,
and neighbors generally get together in a spirit of
helpfulness and'co-operation and by joint and united
effort, make them happen for common good of all
their people—white and black. Community gather
ings, discussion generally and finally the adoption
of a county plan for the coming year is the impera
tive need of every county in this section
