LETTERS'; FROM THE PEOPLE
. Enterprise; Ala., Feb. 28, 1921
Editor Times-Reccrder: I have just
returned from an extended trip
through South Carolina, Georgia, and
Middle and East Alabama. I have
talked with a groat many farmers
and business men on my trip,,and I
can truthfully ray that I have never
in all my life seen people so “up in
the air” as to how they shall proceed
with their farms this year.
1 have studied the situation more
closely than I ever have before, nnd 1
am going to sound a warning now,
and if the farmers do not heed this
warning the yare going to be. sorry
for :t.
There is enough cotton to run the
mills of the world for twenty-four
months now on hand. You will no
tice it has declined from 42 cents to
11 cents in six months, Und all tho
cotton people say now that it will go
to 8 cents by the first of May. With
a big crop this yeur it will sell at 5
and -I cents October neXt. Now,
what is tho use of buying fertilizers,
planting another big crop of cotton
and make it at u loss of more than
10 cents a pound, and not be able to
sell tne crop we have on hand for
one-third of the cost? 1
What is the remedy? * We have
had ail kinds of advice, from every
source, nnd by the best talent in all
the lend, end yet I see on every hand
evidence of big cotton acreage for
this year. Nearly all tho land I saw
was prepared for cotton. It would
he better if the land were allowed to
grow up in weeds this year thun to
be planted in cotton.
I war. talking to •« gentleman in
Georgia who said he ran twelve plows
from coming to Enterprise, Ozark
and Geneva for six mnoths and we
would not suffer for anything to
eat.
Peanuts end Hags
It is truo that" we have had to
sacrifice our peanut crop this year,
but look at the hogs we have grown
and fattened on peanuts. I have
one customer who paid me on last
Friday $1,400 out of his hog drop
grown on ** two-horse farm. He has
plenty of everything to vun his farm
this year, which he does with his own
children and ho hired Kelp at all.
Why, don’t you Georgia and South
Carolina people cut out your cotton
cron this year, not buy a pound of
fertilizer, plant everything in corn
anr peanuts and raise hogs, and let
the boll weevil starve out one year,
hold your cotton until next fall and
get cost and interest for carrying it
over? Peanuts will not need any
fertilizer at all you can make from
fifty to seventy-five bushels to tho
acre where you had corn and cotton
last year without the use of a single
pound of commercial fertilizer.
Peanuts will bring a good price
next fall and winter. Why do I say
We aro sure to get a 4*ents.
per-pound duty on all imported pea
nuts. and that will stop tho importa
tions entirely. Lnst year the Orient
shipped one hundred thousand tons
of peanuts to this country, besides
the oil.
If you do not want to gather your
peanuts, nut them into hog hides. Re
