I TOE BANNER-HERALD, ATOEWS. GEORGIA’ THE BANNER-HERALD ATHENS, GA. 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. iblUhed Every Evening During the Week Except Saturday and inday and on Sunday Morning by The Athena Publishing Company, .hens, Ga, t a <«'. • dttttSkMit AP.L B.

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 season has developed somt I COMMUNITY ORCHESTRA splendid "finds" for the regular I is PLANNEO team next year.
