Bradley, who describes be low he successfully copes with the boll weevil is not only one of the south’s largest cotton planters but also one of its business and financial lead ers. His words' will be of interest not only to the farmers themselves but to everyone who has the general prosper ity of the South at heart. Here's how: “Beginning April Ist, during April and May, we pay for each boll weevil picked from cotton on all our places, 5c each; during June we pay 2U>c each, and lc each during July. We make set tlements on Saturday of each week, just as we do other pay rolls. In addition to this we require all tenants to pick up and destroy all punctured squares. The amounts we pay our tenants for the boll weevil is charged to their re spective accounts and collected for at the end of the year, just as we do oth er advances. We have adopted a cotton that does not make a large foliage; our expe rience being that the hot sun is the weevil’s most effective enemy, and that they will multiply rapidly when shaded •mil during rainy weather. We also use some good boll weevil machine, and also powdered calcium arsenic. However, this is rather ex pensive to apply and we doubt it be ing a good commercial proposition when cotton sells below 20c per pound. We have made an average of 8 bales per plow on all our river places tlie present year, and several of our ten ants made 12 to 14 bales per plow. I am convinced that cotton cannot lie grown under boll weevil conditions unless a persistent fight against them is made, commencing with April each year. Ido not believe they can tie suc cessfully fought after August Ist, but within this period a good crop can be made.” W. ('. BRADLEY, Columbus, Ga.

BARUCH (Reprinted from Atlantic Monthly) The whole rural world Is in a fer ment of unrest, and there is an un paralleled volume and intensity of de termined, if not angry, protest, and an ominous swarming of occupational con ferences, Interest groupings, political movements and propaganda. Such a turmoil cannot but arrest our atten tion. Indeed, It demands our careful study and examination. It Is not like ly that six million aloof and ruggedly Independent men have come together and banded themselves Into active unions, societies, farm bureaus, and so forth, for no sufficient cause. Investigation of the subject conelu sively proves that, while there is much overstatement of grievances and mis conception of remedies, the farmers are right in complaining of wrongs long endured, and rigid in holding that it is feasible to relieve their ills with benefit to tlie rest of the community. This being the case of tin industry that contributes, in the raw material form alone, about one-third of the na tionnl annual wealth production and is the means of livelihood of about 41 per cent of the population, it is oh vious that the subject is one of grave concern. Not only do the farmers make up one-half of the nation, bul the well-being of the other Half de pends upon them. So long as we have nations, a wise poHteial economy will aim at a large degree of national self-sufficiency and seif-containment. Rome fell when the food supply was too far removed from the belly. Like her, we shall destroy our own agriculture and extend our sources of food distantly and precari ously, if we do not see to it that our farmers are \yell and fairly paid for their services/ The farm gives the nation men as well as food. Cities derive their vitality and are forever renewed from the country, but an im poverished countryside exports intelli gence and retains unintelligence. Only the lower grades of mentality and character will remain on, or seek, the farm, unless agriculture is capable of being pursued with contentment and adequate compensation. Hence, to em bitter and impoverish the farmer is to dry up and contaminate the vital sources of the nation. The war showed convincingly how dependent the nation is on the full productivity of the farms. Despite herculean efforts, agricultural produc tion kept only a few weeks or months ahead of consumption, and that only by increasing the acreage of certaiD staple crops at ttie cost of reducing that of others. We ought not to for get that lesson when we ponder on the farmer’s problems. They are truly common problems, and there should be no attempt to deal with them as if they were purely selfish demands of a clear-cut group, antagonistic to the rest of the community. Rather should we consider agriculture in tlie light of broad national policy, Just as we consider oil, coal, steel, dye stuffs, and so forth, as sinews of na tional strength. Our growing popula tion and a higher standard of living demand increasing food supplies, and more wool, cotton, hides, and the rest. With the disappearance of free or cheap fertile land, additional acreage and increased yields can come only from costly effort. This we need not expect from an impoverished or un happy rural population. It will not do to take a narrow view of the rural discontent, or to appraise it from the standpoint of yesterday. This is peculiarly an age of flux and change and new deals. Because a thing always has been so no longer means that it is righteous, or always shall be so. More, perhaps, than ever .before, there is a widespread feeling that all human relations can lie Im proved by taking thought, and that it is not becoming for the reasoning uni mal to leave Ids destiny lurgely to chance and natural incidence. Prudent and orderly adjustment ol production and distribution in accord ance with consumption is recognized as wise management in every business but that of farming. Yet, I venture to say, there is no other industry in which it is so important to the pub lie —to the city-dweller —that produc tion should be sure, steady, and in creasing, and that distribution should he in proportion to the need. The un organized farmers naturally act blind ly and impulsively and, In conse quence, surfeit and dearth, accompa nied by disconcerting price-variations, harass the consumer. One year pota toes rot in the fields because of excess production, and there is a scarcity ol the tilings that have been displaced to make way for the expansion of the potato acreage; next year the punish ed farmers mass their fields on some other crop, and potatoes enter the class of luxuries; and so on. Agriculture is the greatest and fun damentally the most important of our American industries. The cities are but the branches of the tree of na tional life, the roots of which go deep ly into the land. We all flourish or decline with the farmer. So, when we of the cities read of the present uni versal distress of the farmers, of a slump of six billion dollars In the farm .value of their crops In a single year. THE WINDER NEWS of their inability to meet mortgages or to pay current bills, and how, seeking relief from their ills, they are plan ning to form pools, inaugurate farm ers’ strikes, and demand legislation abolishing grain exchanges, private cattle markets, and the like, we ought not hastily to brand them as economic heretics and highwaymen, und hurl at them the charge of being seekers of special privilege. Bather, we should ask If their trouble is not ours, and see what can he done to improve the situation. Purely from self-interest, if for no higher motive, we should help them. All of us want to get back permanently to "normalcybut is it reasonable to hope for that condition unless our greatest and most basic in dustry can be put on a sound and solid permanent foundation? The furmers are not entitled to special privileges; but are they not right in demanding that they be placed on an equal foot ing with the buyers of their products and with other industries? II Let us, then, consider some of the farmer’s grievances, and see how far they are real. In doing so, we should remember that, while there have been, and still are, instances of purposeful abuse, the subject should not be ap proached with any general imputation to existing distributive agencies of de liberately intentional oppression, but rather with the conception that the marketing of farm products has not been modernized. An ancient evil, and a persistent one, is the undergrnding of farm prod ucts, with .the result that what the farmers sell as of one quality is re sold as of a higher. That this sort of chicanery should persist on any im portant scale in these days of busi ness Integrity would seem almost in credible, but there is much evidence that it does so persist. Even as 1 write, the newspapers announce the suspension of several firms from the New York Produce Exchange for ex porting to Germany as No. 2 wheat a whole shipload of grossly inferior wheat I mixed with oats, chaff and the like. Another evil is that of inaccurate weighing of farm products, which, it Is charged, is sometimes a matter of dishonest intentio.M and sometimes of protective policy on the part of the local buyer, who fears that he may “weigh out” more than he “weighs in.” A greater grievance is that at pres ent the field farmer has little or no control over the time and conditions of marketing his products, with the result that he is often underpaid for his products and usually overcharged for marketing service. The differ ence between what the farmer re ceives and what the consumer pays often exceeds all possibility of justi fication. To cite a single illustration. Last year, according to figures attest ed by the railways and the growers, Georgia watermelon-raisers received on the average 7.5 cents for a melon, the railroads got 12.7 cents for carry ing it to Baltimore and the consumer paid one dollar, leaving 79.8 cents for the service of marketing and its risks, us against 20.2 cents for growing and transporting. The hard annals of farm-life are replete with such com mentaries on tlie crudeness of pres ent practices. Nature prescribes that the farmer’s “goods" must be finished within two or three months of the year, while financial and storage limitations gen erally compel him to sell them at the same time. Asa rule, other industries are in a continuous process of finish ing goods for the markets; they dis tribute as they produce, and they can curtail production without too great injury to themsefVes or the commu nity; but if the farmer restricts his output, it Is with disastrous conse quences, both to himself and to the community. The average farmer is busy with production for tfie major part of the year, and has nothing to sell. The bulk of his output comes on the mar ket at once. Because of lack of stor age facilities and of financial support, tiie farmer cannot carry his goods througli the year and dispose of them as they are currently needed. In the great majority of cases, farmers have to entrust storage—in warehouses and elevators —and the financial carrying of their products to others. Farm products are generally mar keted at a time when there is a con gestion of both transportation and finance—when cars and money are scarce. „ The outcome. In many in stances, Is that the farmers not only sell under pressure, and therefore at a disadvantage, but are compelled to take further reductions In net returns, In order to meet the charges for the service of storing, transporting, financ ing, and ultimate marketing—which charges they claim, are often exces sive, bpar heavily on both consumer and producer, and are under the con trol of those performing the services. It is true that they are relieved of the risks of a changing market by selling at once; but they are quite wtll- FARM LOANS!
