"Why wouldn’t it be a good idea to
start right now establishing pormanont ,
farm prosperity on every Southern
farm, to take the placo of the rogular
see-saw into debt and out of debt that
has been going on for fifty years or
more," said H. G. pastings of Atlanta,
prominent agricultural leader, recently.
"Enough .money has coma into the
‘South durlug the last twenty-five years
for cotton to have made this the weal
thiest agricultural Bodtiou instead of thei
poorest. Where has all these billions
upon billions of dollars gone?
"Those cotton dollars have largely
gone to the North and West for bread
and meat, gone nover to return. Our
foolishness, our slavishness to the one
crop system 13 the reason. Our foolish
ness has put our farm laud values on
a $10.00 to $50.00 por acre basi3 and
largely lulped to put Illfhols and Iowa
lands on a $300.00 to $100.00'par acre
basis.
“It is world w.ido experience with
no exception that there can be no reg
ular permanent prosperity to the reg
ular food buying, grain buying cropper
or farmer. Evory dollar’s worth cl
food and grain produced op home acres
ia a dollar saved. It means that much
freedou^froYn ddbt, high interest and
dealers’ profits.
"Pood, grain and forage production
on home acres Sufficient for the family,
the working liye stock, the cows and*
meat animals, poultry, -etc., is the first
step toward permanent farm prosperity
and there can be ub pormanont farn
prosperity on anybody’s farm until these
necessary items, fully sufficient for
home needs, are produced on homo
acroe, not only in 1923 but every year.
"It’s a good time now to Btart the
prosperity program off right. The first
thing in line is a real home garden,*
properly prepared, planted and kept re
planted through the year. Lots of farm
folks tell us that one-third to one-half
their living oomes out of their garden.
Corn and other grain and forage crops''
take care of the live stock. Hcvgs and
poultry cannot fatten or produce eggs
on air and water. So it is all along the
line. Make food instead of buy food
for home use: It beats ‘get ricn quick’
schemes -and steadily followed insures
permanont farm prosperity.” * ■■ j
