Southern Farm Prosperity Absolutely
Dependent on Cutting Produc
tion Cost Through Food
s Making and Saving.
Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—“A right.
about-face movement in 1921 is neces
sary if the farmers of the South are
to get on safe, firm ground again,”
said H. G. Hastings, President of the
great Southeastern Fair.
“It looks as if we all went cotton
crazy last spring, despite all the dan
ger signals flying and the disregard
of plain facts as to costs of cotton
production. We have repeated our fol
lies of 1911 and 1914 and piled up
debts based on costly food and grain
to- be paid for by cotton that is now
below cost of production.
“With few exceptions those items
of food and grain could and should
have been produced om home acres
at one-third to one-half what the sup
ply merchant charges for them.
“Cotton is the one best money crop
for the South, and probably always
will be. The time of war prices is
over and the problem from now on is
to lower cost of production and at the
same time afford the cotton grower a
fair profit.
“Cost of making cotton is primarily
the cost of food, grain and forage
for the farmer, his family, his labor
ers or tenants, and his work stock.
Cutting food, grain and forage costs
by home production will reduce cot
ton costs from one-third to one-half.
“Plant for an abundance of food,
grain and forage, thus cutting down
store bills, and the lower prices for
cotton will not hurt so much. We can
not, with European countries so thor
oughly disorganized, reasonably expect
high prices f;))g cotton for several years
and we must make cotton at lower
cost, or else quit cotton growing.
“Most of us cannot quit cotton,
hence the absolute necessity of food,
grain and forage planting in 1921
the making on home acres of every
pound of food and grain needed to see
us through.
“In this food production program,
take the home vegetable garden seri
pusly. Give the home garden a square
deal and it will surprise you in the
amount of healthful food produced. It
takes the least ground, can be plant
ad the earliest, brings quick returns
and if kept replanted and worked will
stay by you all the season through.”
