I FARM PRODUCTS THAT
LOOK MOST FAVOR ART F
An unalysis of the government report on the agricultural situation for
this year shows (lint the outlook for dairy products, beef cattle, horses, flux,
and alfalfa and clover soed Is favorable, and that moderate expansion of
production is permlssable, the Sears-ltoebuck Agricultural Foundation points
out. In other words, the signal for these products reads “Go ahead.”
In case of most other products, however, the signs direct fnrmers to
keep production stationary, or even to back up n little. If they wish to avoid
the penalty of low prices. Among the products against which the stop sign
is turned, or which should not be Increased In 1028, are corn, oats, wheat,
hay, cotton, barley, hogs, poultry, sheep, potatoes, sweet potatoes, tobacco^
rice, dry beans and peanuts. The same is true of such other crops ns cab
bage, colons, cantaloupes and watermelons. Curtailment, rather than expan
sion, is needed in commercial plantings of strawberries, grapes, peaches, nnd
citrus fruits. Plantings of apples are not justified except under exceptionally
favorable conditions.
Unfortunately, the area In each of the five mnjor crops In 1027 was fully
ns large ns or larger than was needed, so that It Is not possible to shift
from one of these products to another In order to bring about a better ad
justment of production to demand. These five crops rnnge In size from
about 100 million acres of corn down to 42 million acres of cotton with
tnme hay, wheat und oats coming In between.
No other crop occupies ns much ns 10 million acres, however. It Is pos
sible to correct for any overplantlng of these minor crops by shifting acreage
into the major crops without materially affecting the output of the latter
It Is true that weather conditions cause Inrge variations In crop yields
from year to year, nnd sometimes are responsible for surpluses which de
press prices. In the long run, however, changes in acreage are most Im
portant. Over a period of years the decisions which farmers, collectively
make as to acreage of various crops and size of breeding herds nnd flocks
play a larger role than the weather In determining financial results.
In making plans for 1028, each farmer must consider the conditions
relating to his own farm, the Foundation states. If prospects are favorable
for any product, not all farmers should expand, and If it Is unfavorable,
It does not follow that all should reduce production. For example, even if
no general increase in production of feed crops is justified, each farmer
| should endeavor to produce his own supply. Likewise, lie should plan for
a supply of food crops, eggs, milk nnd meats for home use, Irrespective of
the market outlook for those .products.
ONE-VARIETY COMMUNITIES, EASY
WAY TO PRODUCE BETTER COTTON
i No way to produce larger yields tier acre of oetter cotton which will
command higher prices can he applied so easily nnd cheaply as the method
| of growing one variety in a community, says the Sears-ltoebuck Agricultural
: Foundation.
it is virtually impossible for the Individual farmer to maintain pure
seed owing to the unavoidable mixing of seed that takes place at the public
gins. It has been shown that as much as one-fourth of the seed delivered
1 to a farmer may bo seed of a different variety from the preceding customer’s
j crop. Owing to this inevitable mixing of varieties, crossing in the fields
■ tnkes place and the cotton “runs out," compelling the farmer to go out-
| side the community for fresh seed.
| This "running out” Is accompanied by deterioration in the length of
, staple of which both domestic and foreign buyers complain. As a result,
i It Is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain large lots of oven runnlnft
| cotton of good length, nnd a high percentage of the American crop must
j compete with the short staple cotton of India and China. Those countries
! probably can produce such cotton at lower cost than American growers.
The demand for hotter cotton has boon increasing while the average
quality of the cotton produced has hern declining. Today the mills want
cotton of a higher average grade and staple length than that of the Amor-
can crop, according to studies made by the United Slates Department of
Agriculture.
Varieties of early, prolific cotton, of 1 in 1 3-10 Inch staple, have been
developed, so that there is little excuse for growing cotton under 1 Inch
in length In most parts of the United States. While a larger number of
i communities have organized to produce one variety In recent years, reliable
observers have estimated that about DO per cent of the seed planted*Is
J mixed gin run, the Foundation states.
j Aside from the fact that organizing to produce cotton on n one-variety
\ community basis makes it possible to produce larger yields of superior cotton
| per acre, the quantity grown In this way becomes largo enough so that
j buyers will pay f”ll commercial value for It. Usually they will not do this
j when only a few tales of superior grade are offered In communities where
; most of the crop is Inferior shnrt-linted cotton.
That the standardization of varieties may be brought out in ttie Na
( tiona' Cotton Show the Agricultural Foundation together with the Soil lin-
■ provement Committee of the National Fertilizer Association have set aside
twelve educational trips for Smith Hughes Teachers. To the twelve Voca
tional Agriculture Teachers who give evidence of the best community devel-
! oprnent along one or two variety lines, there will be awarded expense paid
i educational trips anywhere in the country.

Custom Wouldn’t Work
in Civilized Circles
Natives of the Gilbert Islands In Hie
South sens have tried Hie common
ownership part of' communism fur
many years. Ils workings are il'us-
trated in ilie recent case of a native
who returned home from a prosper
ous season of work on the plantations
of the Marshall group, bringing with
him a bicycle. As lie wheeled it off
the wharf another native touched It,
crying, "Bii-nba-gee." Immediately lie
became half owner of the machine.
The first native, knowing protest was
useless, hided his time. Tills new
shareholder in the bicycle was u
clever boat builder and when lie
launched the next fine catamaran of
redwood, out rushed Ids partner In
bicycle ownership yelling, “Dunlin-
gee!” ami at touch became half own
er in tlie new craft. Travelers say the
custom is seldom abused.
