CUT COTTON COST
BY MAKING FOOD
Southern Farm Prosperity Absolutely
Dependent on Cutting "Cash Crop”
Production Cost Through Food-
Making And Saving.
Atlanta, Georgia.—-(Special).—The
cotton farmer got his ‘'bumps”
again In 1021 between boll weevil, un
favorable seasons, food ami grain buy
ing on credit, combined with a price
on cotton Insufficient to ‘pay him out.’
Same old story, the same thing that
has happened three or four times in
the last dozen years,” said H. G
Hastings, President ot the Geougle
Association, an organization for stau
wide development.
“We might just as v.< il face t;*-.
fact that with the worid wide i;l -
cial and political mix-up in ICurop;
following tb.e world war, the.e i re
possible chance for using norma
quantities ol cotton at profit;.Ida ivioc
to us If we continue to grow co.tor
on the high cost-basis tha wo hav-
been doing.
“Cotton it< the one I tort money cro
for the South, and prohnhl> ni y
will he. The time of war price; i
over and the problem from now on is
to lower cost of production and at tin
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 abundanco of food,
groin and forage, thus cutting down
store hills, and the lower prices foi
cotton will not hurt so much. We can
not. with European count Him ho thor
oughly disorganized, reasonably expect
high prices for cotton for several years
and we must make cotton at lower
cost, or else quit cotton growing.
“Most gf us cannot quit cotton,
hence the absolute necessity of food,
grain and forage planting in 1022 —
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
ously. Give the home garden a square j
doal, and it will surprise you in the
amount of healthful food produced. It j
takes the least ground, can bo plant
ed tin* earliest, brings quick returns i
and if kept replanted and worked will j
