Newton county could plant an
average of 7 acres of cotton per mule
1575 pounds of lint per mule. The
best price has been 9Vi cents per
pound which makes a total of $149.62
which in mast cases must be divid
ed between tenant and landlord on
a cent basis. This gives the
landlord a total of $74.81 to pay
fertilizer, taxes, mule purchase and
other necessary expenses. The ten

The answer generally is that we
must produce a bale of cotton per
acre instead of 225 pounds per acre,
If we do this then the cotton pro
duction is increased and we have
the same oil story of cotton being
too plentiful.
Some solution to the above prob
!em may be the introduction of
livestock on our farms to get ad
ditional farm income. One farmer
in this county is trying some brood
mares and then bought some sheep.
Probably horses and sheep will be
an answer on his farm. Will they
answer on yours? If not better begin
thinking up something that will.
