PLOW HANDLES ON WAR
AND CROP SITUATION
Please allow me to say a few
things about the European war
and its cause and its bearing on
the cotton situation. The cause
of the war is the greed of gain
and arrogance and sins of the
people. All nations have been
so mean and sinful that God has
stepped aside and is letting the
world baptize itselft in blood. Or
in other words it is a scourge sent
on the whole world, and in order
to punish the wicked the innocent
has to suffer. And here is what
we see:
In Europe we see daily whole di
visions ©f soldiers annihilated
with shot and shell. And in these
United States what do we see?
We see this:
The bankers and manufactur
ing corporations fixing to reap
a rich harvest out of the poor old
sun-burnt farmer. Someone will
say, have you any proof of that
assertion? In reply I will say,
yes, I have it at my fingers’ tip.
Here it is: The bankers all over
the land are very anxious to fi
nance the farmer’s cotton, on
the condition that the farmer will
pay him 8 per cent, provided the
farmer will carry the insurance
and warehouse charges and put
in a bonded warehouse.
And at the same time the gov
ernment proposes to loan the
banks all the money they want
to do it with at 3* per cent. And
if I understand it 4 months is all
the time the farmer can get on a
loan on his cotton. Now ain’t
this helping the farmer with a
vengeance?
Now what do we see the cot
ton seed oil men doing? Meat and
lard are higher than in years and
we see cotton seed selling lower
than they have been in years and
they say it is on account of the
war. And they will extract the
oil from the seed and sell it high
er than it has sold in years and
then say it is on account of the
war.
And the cotton manufacturer is
going to put up the same spiel in
buying and manufacturing cot
ton. So you see that God Al
mighty is scourging us all for our
inconsistency, hypocrisy and
meanness.
Now if I am wrong in these as
sertions we will be glad if some
Napoleon of finance will put us
right on the situation. Now here
is the conclusion of the whole
matter. Let every farmer sow
him a patch of wheat this fall and
sow largely of oats and next
spring plant largely of corn, war
or no war. Don’t plant over 8
acres of cotton to the plow. Now
let’s all do this for God’s sake.
Now the way the government
proposes to furnish the banks
with money at 3* per cent and
allow them to loan it to the farm
er at 8 per cent, you won’t have
to consult Gseenleaf to see that
the profit they will make out of
the transaction will stagger the
world. I suppose one-half of one
per cent will pay the banks for
handling the money. And here
is where I get off.

PROF. WORSHAM TELLS
BOYS TO BE FAITHFUL
Dear Corn Club Members:
You remember my sending you
a blank on which to make your
final report when your corn is
gathered. If perchance you have
misplaced this blank I shall send
you another on request.
Now it is my sincere wish to
have everybody who planted an
acre to come in on the home
stretch with a report; it matters
not whether you make one or one
hundred bushels. lam satisfied
that most of you have made a
faithful effort, but you cannot
govern the elements and the ways
of Providence.
Let every one of you select ten
good ears in the field, write a sto
ry on “How I grew my acre of
corn, ” count up the cost per bush
el and meet together at the Coun
ty Fair in November and have a
gala time.
“Don’t give up the ship.”
Yours to serve,
H. L. Worsham,
County Demonstrator.
