KRMANENI PROSPERITY
FOR SOUTHERN FARMERS
l
j “Why wouldn't it be a (food Idea to
start right now ®ntablishtii4i permanent
farm prosperity on every Southern
farm, to take the plaoe of the regular
•eo-saw Into debt and out of debt that
has been going on for fifty years or
more," said H. G. Hastings of Atlanta,
prominent agricultural loader, recently,
"Enough money has come Into the
South during the last twenty-five years
for cotton to have made this the weal
thiest agricultural section Instead of the
poorest. Where has all these billions
upon billions of dollars gone?
“Theae cotton dollars have largely
gone to the North and West for bread
and meat, gone never to return. Our
foolishness, our slaviahnesa to the one
crop system is the reason. Our foolish
ness has put our farm land values on
a SIO.OO to $50.00 per acre basis and
largely helped to put Illinois and lowa
lands on a $300.00 to $400.00 por acre
basis.
"It is world wide experience with
no exception that there can be no reg
ular permanent prosperity to the reg
ular food buying, grain buying cropper
or farmer. Every dollar’s worth of
food and grain produced on home acree
1b a dollar saved. It means that much
freedom from debt, high interest and
dealers’ profits,
"Food, grain and forage production
on home acres sufficient for the family,
the working liye stock, the cows and
meat animals, poultry, etc., is the first
step toward permanent farm prosperity
and there can be no permanent farm
prosperity on anybody’s farm until these
necessary iteml, fully sufficient for
home needs, are produced on home
acres, not only in 1923 but every year.
"It’s a good time now to start the
prosperity program off right. The first
thing in line la a real home garden,
properly prepared, planted and kept re
planted through the year Lots of farm
follcs tell us that one-third to one-half
their living conies out of their garden.
Corn and other grain and forage crops
take care of the live stook. Hogs and
poultry cannot fatten or produce egg*
on air and water. So it Is all along the
line. Make food instead of buy food
for home use. It beats 'get rich quick’
schemes and steadily followed insures
permanent farm prosperity.’’

LINT FOR
NORTH GEORGIA
EXPERT ADVOCATES
COMMUNITY ACTION
Stamp Out the Mongrel Cotton and Re
place It with Varieties That Will
Produce Standard Inch to Inch
And One-Sixteenth
Atlanta, Ga. —“Organize your com
munity to grow better cotton,’’ says
Dr. Jno. R. Fain, Agronomist of the
Georgia State College of Agriculture.
“Only by organizing communities to
grow single varieties of cotton can the
mongrel, poor yielding, short lint
breeds that have been harming the
reputation of North Georgia cotton, be
driven out and kept out.”
Continuing Dr. Fain said: “North
Georgia cotton was long known to the
trade as an inch staple. In fact lint
of that length may be said to be the
North Georgia standard. It was on
cotton of this standard length that
North Georgia won its premium In
the market.
“In recent years new varieties of
short lint have been brought intc
North Georgia. These varieties have
mixed with aud mongrelized a great
deal of the cotton in this region with
the result that North Georgia stand
ards have been lowered and the mar
ket is beginning to pay accordingly.
‘‘What are North Georgia farmers
going to do about it?
“The way to reclaim lost ground is
to discard the inferior cottons and get
back the old-time standards. This can
be done most quickly and effectively
by community action.
"Let a community of farmers agree
to grow only one variety. This va
riety can then be kept comparatively
pure. The seed can be sold for plant
ing purposes at two or three times
what the oil mills will pay.
"By growing one variety of an inch
staple, the community quickly estab
lishes a reputation among buyers, and
the best price the market affords can
be obtained. The -reputation that a
community gains for length of lint has
more to do with the average prices re
ceived for cotton in the community
than is generally appreciated.
“The best indication of what any
community can do is afforded by what
some community has already done.
Community That Has Acted.
“Three years ago as the result of
interest in pure seed created by a
local Smith-Hughes Vocational School
at Winterville, Ga., the farmers of that
community started to growing CoL
lege No. 1 cotton seed. They planted
60 acres the first year. The second
year 700 acres were planted and this
year about 1500 acres. Other varieties
are being rapidly eliminated.
“Before this community movement
started the local gin handled about 20
per cent of the cotton ginned in the
county. The third season after start
ing the good seed movement the local
gin handled 60 per cent of the cotton
ginned in the county.
“Furthermore, the co-operating
farmers have kept their cotton re
latively pure and are selling all the
seed they can spare at three times
what the oil mills will pay.
“As an indication of the interest be
ing created in that region, the Win
terville farmers called upon the Col
lege of Agriculture to give them a
short course in seed selection.
“Winterville lint and Winterville
seed command a premium on the mar
ket. Why not follow Winterviile’s ex
ample?”
Dr. Fain conferred with represeuta
tives of the Atlanta Commercial Ex
change and offered to further in every
way he could, the laudable endeavor
of the Exchange to get North Georgia
farmers to grow standard North Geor
gia staple. He stated that the Col
lege of Agriculture was issuing a pub
lication to promote longer lint, ot
standard North Georgia lint produc
tion Under the tests of the college
he says that it has been shown that
desirable varieties of the Clevelanc
strain and College Number One will
meet the requirements as to standard
North Georgia lint, earliness of ma
turity, maximum yield and lnrgesl
money return per acre to the farmer
This is shown not only by the re
sults obtained at the Agricultural Col
lege but it is backed up by tests made

The Exchange is also advocating
Acala cotton, anew cotton introduced
from the West which the Bureau ol
Plant Industry of United States De
partment of Agriculture describes as
follows:
“Acala cotton is an extra early, pro
lific, big-boll variety, introduced by
this department from southern Mexico
and developed in Texas and other wes
tern states. Hundreds of thousands
of acres are now being planted to this
variety in Texas, Oklahoma, and Ar
kansas. Recently it has shown much
promise under a variety of soil and
climatic conditions in Alabama. Geor
gia and North Carolina. The fiber is
one and one-eighth inches in length
of fine character, and very strong. Its
superior qualities have been recogniz
ed by spinners and it is now in great
demand by cotton buyers.”

"If Russia’s children, and adults
as well, are to be saved from death
this winter from exposure—after
the churity of America has brought
them through the famine of last
winter, they must be supplied with
clothing.” This is a concensus of
opinion of the American Relief Ad

Colonel Haskell down to the in
spectors, according to their reports
to Herbert Hoover, head of the
A. R. A.
From every part of Russia w-here

Russian winter. And the need of
aid in this direction for adults, too,
is indicated by statements of re
cently-returned workers, who state
that in cases where Russian em
ployes have been given a blanket
for extra services the blankets have
almost invariably been made into
overcoats. Literally millions of
children, say reports, have no shoes
—an item which in itself may make
it impossible for them to go to Am
erican Relief child-feeding kitch
ens. Free shoes and stockings have
been provided for 250,000 children
who are absolutely without foot
wear, but the whole problem is
beyond the reach of any general
funds now available.
The American Relief Administra
tion. to meet this emergency, has
put into effect a Clothing Remit
tance, functioning in every way as
does the now' world famous Hoover
Subscription Price: $1.50 Per Ye®r.
Food Remittance. For twenty dol
lars, sent tp the A. R. A. at 42
Broadway, New York, the following
articles, or their equivalent in val
ue, will be delivered to any desig
nated person in Russia: 4 2-3 yardf
fifty-six inch twenty ounce dark
blue wool cloth; 4 yards of thirty
two inch black cotton lining; 8
yards of twenty-seven inch flannel;
16 yards of unbleached muslin; 8
large black Ivory buttons; 16 small
black ivory buttons; 16 small white
bone buttons: 2 spools No. 30 black
cotton thread; 2 spools No. 40 white
cotton thread.
One package will clothe one
or two children all winter, and re
mittances ordered for general relief
will be used for neediest
thousands of which are heart-break
ing.
