probably true but still exports
are rising. To our mind the prob
lem of the cotton farmer will be
come more accute when the war
is over and we still must live on
the limited acreage and income
that foreign production will force
us to accept. It seems that now
is the time to make preparation
by adjusting labor conditions on
our farms and getting into new
Crops and thus new sources of
income. Some thinkers have the
idea that more general use of ma
chinery will enable farmers to
cultivate more acres per person
and thus raise the per capita in
come. If our farmers can begin to
break away from the old system of
one cash crop and begin to sell
hay, grain, livestock, seed and
fruits maybe a solution can be
reached.
As an illustration of what we
have in mind we will use oats as
an example. Usually oats must sell
for about 30 to 40 cents per bu
shel to find ready markets. At
this price we could not hope to
get far by seeding a few acres of
oats with a single mule equipment
and trusting to old methods of
and hope to produce oats
with a chance of increasing our
income. But if one person
could take machinery and seed 50
to oats and the same per
harvest them with machinery
he could hope to sell oats on
market with some profit, es
if he could increase pro
to the acre from year to
by following the grain with
