GOOD YEAR FACES
FARMERS IN 1937
Washington, D. C. — A. forecast of a
favorable year for farmers in 1937
was coupled with a warning that
“there are fundamental weaknesses
in the position of agriculture that will
require vigor—and action.
A. C. Black, chief of the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, presented
these views to Secretary Wallace in
an annual report which said drought
and increases in farm prices and in
come were outstanding factors in the
farm situation this year.
Despite the drought, Black said
cash income of farmers will mount to
$7,850,000,000 this yeir the fourth
consecutive annual advance. He fig
ured this would be a gain of 11 per
cent over last year and 81 per cent
above 1932.
However, the dry weather was said
to have “left scars that will require
time, and careful planning, and much
labor to erase.”
Black warned that the nation has
an agricultural system which, in years
of average weather, “can produce con
siderably in excess of existing mar-

LIVE STOCK RIVALS COTTON.
Those are striking and meaningful
figures which Dr. Milton P. Jarni
gan, head of the animal husbandry
department of the University of
Gaorgia, has gathered on the mount
ing value of our live-stock industries.
They show, for one thing, that cotton,
though still a prime factor in the
state’s agricultural economy, is no
longer its king. Last year’s income
from the sale of cotton, exclusive of
benefit payments and of seed, amont
ed to fifty-eight million, six hundred
and twenty-five thosand dollars. The
sales of live-stocks, also minus bene
fit payments, brought fifty-eight mil
lion, two hundred and sixty-two thous
and dollars, or almost as much as the
total receipts from a crop which, a
few decades ago, was the mainstay of
Georgia’s agricultral and the sole de
pendance of multitudes or her farm
ers.
This does not mean that cotton is
going the way of olive groves and the
silk-worm culture of which so much
was expected in Colonial days, nor of
the rice plantations which once yield
ed great fortunes but which declined
and eventually vanished. Cotton is
still, and doubtless long will be, an
important money crop. But fortun
ately its old predominance, which
ruled out diversification, depleted soil
values and made hopeless debtors of
hundreds of thousands of growers, is
passing, if it is not already gone. And
in this happy change livestock has
played a leading part. The animal
husbandry industries require as their
foundation the growth of feed crops
that conserve instead of dissipating
the strength of the soil. They are
builders rather among the brightest
omens for Georgia’s future.—Atlanta

ket demands, even allowing for con
siderable advance in domestic de
mand.” He called this a major prob
lem.
He predicted continued recovery of
foreigh markets would be a slow pro
cess, and said needs in this country
could not “assure an ample market
and satisfactory prices for all that
American farmers can produce.”
