GEORGIA COTTON FARMERS ARE GROWING
THEIR “HONEY CROP” AT A LOSS AND ARE
PAYING TOP PRICES FOR FOOD AND STOCK
. .FEED-PRODUCED IN- THE- MIDDLE-WEST
By RAY WHITE :
Editer, The Middle Geergian
Until Georgia learns the lessoh not
on{ly of the importance but the posi
tive necessity of self-sustenance, ap
plies it, and “lives at home,” it is
obvious ' that- efforts-:to develop her
matchless latent resources along any
particular line will be largely wasted.
The teaching of this lesson, the
inculcation of the principle of pro
ducing so far as possible what we
consume, is largely a rural problem;
in fact, it constitutes the major basic
rural problem confronting the people
of Georgia. It is a problem toward
the solution of which every com
mercial, industrial or development
organization- in-the, state might well,
and profitably apply its best thought
and most constructive effort, and that
the great public utility corporations
of the state, as evidenced by the
broad-visioned and progressive ex
pressions that have appeared from
time to time recently in THE WEEK,
have grappled this problem and are
‘more and more determinedly bend
ing their efforts toward its solution
is, indeed, one of the most hopeful
and encouraging signs of the times.
The prosperity of public utilities
corporations ,the banks, the mercan
tile interests, depends necessarily
upon and is proportionate with the
prosperity of the communities in
which they operate. That is patent.
They cu;'enot prosper in a community
that is not itself prosperous; which,
in Georgia to a greater extent, per
haps, than in any other state in the
Union, means that no commercial or
industrial organization can prosper
to the limit of possibilities unless the
Georgia farmers, Georgia agricul
ture, enjoy prosperity. And it is ob
vious, too, that the farmers of Geor
gia never can prosper until they
learn and apply the paramount les
son of “living at home.”
In middle Georgia, where this is
written, this year there are literally
scores of farmers who.have produced
'good coton “yields on their land, but
litle or nothing else. In other words,
last spring the yplanted cotton al
most if not wholly—as in some in
stances that have come under this
‘writer’s observation—to the exclu
sion of crops food and stock feed.
‘This means, of course, that this sec
tion will have to depend in large
ipart up:m the agricultural products
of other states for the food and feed
its human population and its live
stock must consume next winter.
Lamentably to - state,: fyrthermore,
that there is nothing novel nor un
usual in this situation, in this de
plorable, if not suicidal, economic
condition. It is ecommon. :
Right here in this section—which
potentially is a veritable garden spot
—there are hundreds if not thous
ands of bales of cotton that were pro-!
duced this year by farmers who
bought their meat and their meal
from merchants and some of whom
actually hauled from as far as thirty.{
miles hay and corn-that was con
sumed by their mules while their cot
ton crops were being made.
This food and stock feed, of
course, came ‘high” to the Georgia
farmer-consumer. The farmers of
the north and west who produced it,
rightfully enough, had to have their
price for it; the packing houses and
the mills ,as the case may be, right
fully enough ,had to have their profit
for the processing of it; the railroads,
rightfully enough, had to have their
profit for transporting it; the job
bers and the local merchants, right
fully enough, were entitled to theirs
for handling and distributing it. So
it was bought by the farmer-con
‘sumer at extereme prices; and, of
‘course, for that reason it was used
sparingly. That naturally results in
livestock’s being poor and scantily
fed, in undernourished men and wo
men and children.
And yet we stil refer to cotten as
a ‘“Money Crop!”
It is merely wasting time and it is
a useless waste of energy to try or
even to hope to develop an agricul
tural state—which Georgia essential
ly is—or to develop any given line
of industry in it, so long as its pri
mary and all-essential industry is
pursued upon that basis.
- In other words, Georgia can never
go forward as she might and as her
remarkable resources entitle her to
go forward so long as her igcriculcul
ture in any considerable part is con
ducted by farmers who persist in
growing cotton year after year at a
net loss of from four to twelve cents
a pound and in depending upon the
farms of Wisconsin, Minnesota,
lowa, Illinois, Nebraska, etc., for
their food and feedstuffs! |
This, as this writer sees it, is Geor
gia’s paramount and all-important‘
development problem; and Georgians
who are really trying to developf
Georgia can well afford to let ouri
other “problems” rest until this one
is disposed of. ‘
e
Perhaps the best part of old age!‘
is its sense of proportion which en-‘w
ables us to estimate misfortunes or
what seem to be such, at their true
proportions.

l HOLDER FORCES; CLAIMS
" Atlanta, Ga.—John: N. Holder’s
headquarters at the Kimball House
issued the following statement Sat
urday in connection with Holder's
campaign for governor against Dr.
L. G. Hardman, of Commerce:
| “With. the field narrowed to two
candidates, " public * questions and
political alignments finally have
taken their proper place in the guber
natorial campaign. Developments of
Lthe‘week have served to demonstrate
'the “ futility -of ~attermpbing +to «evalle
issues, deceive the people and ob
scure selfish political motives.
“The joining of the issues and
alignments, as represented on the one
hand by John N. Holder and on the
other by Dr. L. G. Hardman has of
fered the people an opportunity to
weigh and consider the characters,
personalities, public records and can
didacies of the two men, |
“That the people have embncedi
this opportunity and are turning in
increasing numbers to the support ofl
Mr. Holder is convincingly demon
strated by ovations he is receiving on
his stumping tour and b ythe en
thusiastic reports received at head
quarters by letter, telegraph, tele
phone-and personal calls. In the long
years that the Kimball House has
‘been the hub of Georgia politics no
campaign headquarters has ever pre
sented a more active appearance or
‘harbored a more confident atmos
phere. ;
Four Causes Given
“Reasoning from cause to efl’ect,‘
considered 'in the light of first-hand
reports, it is apparent that four out-i
standing factors account for the fore
shadowed nomination of Mr. Holder
at the primary of October 6, as fol
llows: g ! ;
““His popular plurality of more
than 4,000 votes in the first primary,
"despite the wunited opposition and
slanderous attacks of Dr. Hardman,
George H. Carswell and J. 0. Wood.
. “His splendid victory in Jackson
county, which is the home, also, of
Dr. ‘Hardman.
’ ‘‘His ~r'ecognitio'n”by the people as
the anti-bond candidute.
““His unequivocal stand with refer
ence to reforms in the state banking
department, and the removal of
Superintendent T. R. Bennet.
“The official consolidation and. tab
ulation of the votes of the primary
of September Bth, as announced by
Mrs. .Bessie Anderson, secretary of
the state democratic executive com
mittee, gave to the people convincing
proof that Mr. Holder was the lead
ing candidate in the preliminary
skirmish by over 4,000 votes, this de
spite futile attempts of the opposition
to make it appear that Dr. Hardman
led in that contest. . ’
Carried Jackson County
““These same official returns show
ed, also, that Mr. Holder carried
Jackson county, the: home of both
himself and Dr. Hardman, by a ma
jority of 189 votes, and that he re
ceived almost three times as many
votes in Dr.- Hardman’s own town of
Commerce as Dr. Hardman received
in Mr. Holder’s home town of Jeffer
son.
“The efforts of Dr. Hardman, in
his campaign speeches, to explain
away his defeat in his home county
have proved a boomerang. His inti
mation of irregularities at the Jeffer
son precinct polls has been repudiat
ed by D. T. Wilhite, one of the elec
tion managers and a Haxdman man. .
" “With respect to the bond issue,
the developments of the week have
served to show that Dr. Hardman,
within a short space of time, has
been all things to all men on this is
sue. He has declared himself both
for and against the issuance of bonds,
all the while contending, however,
that bonds are not really an issue in
this campaign.”’

IPLAN TO RETIRE 3,000,000
BALES OF PRESENT CROP
St. Matthews, S. C.—A plan to re
tire 3,000,000 bales of cotton from
the present crop under the pledge of
reduétion in cotton acreage for the
coming year has been approved by
some of the leading growers, bank
ers and business men 'in the South
follewing a conference heres of bank
ers and business men ealled by the
American Cotton Association, the as
sociation has ahnounced.
It was stated that the plan, devised
to solve the economic problem facing
cotton growers, has the indorsement
of man yof the financial institutions
extending credit in the cotton belt.
The plan contains the following fi
nancial ‘provisions: |
-First. . For -growers who have
pledged the growing of no cotton for
1927 the entire cotton production for
present year will be financed on ware
house certificates of storage for cot
ton fully insured for 70 per cent of
the value, three loans falling due on:
May 1, 1927. [
Seeond. For growers aignhtg,
pledges t oreduce their cotton for
1827 by 50 per cent as compared
with 1926, one-half of the cotton‘
they produce the present year will be |
taken off the market for them and
carried on loans secured by certifi
eates of storage, loans falling due
May, 1927. !
Third. For all growers who sign!
pledges to reduce their cotton acre-'
age for 1927 by one-third of the |
amount planted the present year,
one-third of all cotton produced this
year will be carried for them on’
loans secured by certificates of stor
age until May 1 next. i
Should a grower fail to carry out
his -pledge, his loan would be called
in May and renewal refused. Grow
ers who carry out their pledges will‘
have their loans renewed until the;
fall of the year. l
