Plant Grain and Raise Hogs and Cattle. Imperative Neces
sity fcr Smail Crop Next Year. Big Mass Meeting at
Appling on the Fourth Monday in September.
(By a Special Staff Correspondent).
Harlem, Ga.—More than one hun
dred of the most prominent farmers,
merchants and business men generally
of Columbia County gathered here at
10 o’clock Wednesday morning to dis
cuss the financial situation, caused by
the war in Europe. The meeting was
held in the Masonic Holl.
Former State Senator W. W. Hamil
ton was elected chairman and Mr. W.
A Wynn, cashier of the Bank of Har
lem. was chosen secretary.
Chairman Hamilton stated the ob
ject of the meeting and introduced
Judge E. H. Callaway, of Augusta,
who is one of the largest farmers and
land owners in Columbia County. In
an address of an hour and forty-five
minutes, Judge Callaway went into
the question fully. The keynote of
his remarks was reduction of the
acreage by one-half in 1915, and prob
ably 1916, so that not over 10,000,000
bales could be made each year for
two years. Judge Callaway urged
crop diversification and said that to
raise oats, wheat, barley and rye next
year instead of so much coton, would
prove a great aid to the farmers
themselves and their section.
Judge Callaway presented three
propositions which he said he thought
were the most important.
First. For a mass meeting of the
citizens of Columbia County to be
called at Appling for the fourth Mon
day in September, to discuss holding
much of the present crop and reduc
ing the acreage for next year.
Second. That it is the sense of this
meeting that legislation be enacted to
force a reduction in acreage, not by
taxing the production, but by penal
izing those who plant over a certain
number of acres. To fine or imprison
as for a misdameanor, is the penalty
suggested.
Third. That action be taken by the
legislatures of the various states and
not by the congress of the United
States.
In his talk, which was listened to
with intense interest. Judge Callaway
said that never before was the truth
better illustrated that we are all de
pendent upon each other and that a
spirit of co-operation must obtain In
the present crisis.
Cut the Acreage.
The greatest necessity, he said, was
for the acreage to be cut from 36,000,-
000 to 20,000,000, If not In half, so that
there will not be an enormous surplus
next year to be added to that which
will be carried over from this. For
people to raise cattle and hogs, and
those unable to raise them to sow
plenty of small grain, will go a long

way toward solving the problem,
but the need of legislation by the
states is very great, because if all of
the states pass laws curtailing the
acreage cotton will soon be up to 10
or 12 cents a pound. It Is the surplus
of a crop which fixes the price.
As for the proposed law to curtail
the acreage there must be a strong
public sentiment to back it up, else it
can never be enforced. A strong or
ganization is needed in each county
with a central committee to nee that
the law is enforced. If the legislature
does not convene and pass such a
law' it is all the more necessary for
a strong county organiztion. I believe
that such a law passed by the states
(luring war times will be proven con
stitutional and, anyway, while some
fellow is testing its constitutionality
the South will be getting the bene
fit.
Judge Callaway advanced the
unique idea that it would be ex
tremely bad from Southern farmers’
standpoint for peace to be declared
now or within a month, for every one
would throw caution to the winds
and plant as much cotton next year
as he could. The judge said that it
would take years for Europe to re
cover from the effects of the war, and
it would at least be two years before
the world could consume 15,000,000
bales of the South’s crop annually,
even if peace should come very soon.
The judge urged that the farmers
who owe no money to hold their cot
ton in the seed, if practicable, or any
where they wished, but the man who
owed the cotton factor and the hanker
and merchant to carry his cotton to
them, so tha his creditors may make
a showing to his creditors. The fac
tor and the merchant and small
banker borrow money from the large
bankers and the farmers should carry
his cotton to those to whom he owes,
so that they In turn may get further
extensions from the people they owe
and be able to give warehouse re
ceipts as security. He said that It
was the policy of the banks to force
no one to sacrifice his cotton to pay
his debts, but when notes are renew
ed there should he collateral given to
insure the hanks against loss.
Willing to Be Told How Many Acres
Ho Can Plant.
The judge said that as far as he was
individually concerned he was willing
for any committee of Columbia coun
ty citizens to tell him bow much cot
ton he should plant next year. He al
so said that land which he is renting
and for which he is now receiving 2
bales of cotton rent per plow he would
arrange with his tenants next year
for them to give one hale of cotton
and 50 bushels of corn reYit.
Fie said that If Columbia county
followed out the plan of cotton acre
age reduction and the planting of
grain and the raising ot live stock
the county would be recompensed for
Its efforts whether any other county
In the south did so or not.
He stressed the idea, however, that
the matter of acreage reduction was
one strictly for the state and not for
the national government to handle.
The judge said that the people must
live more economically than they have
lived before In years and that what
seems to he a great curse to the south
•may eventually prove a great bless
ing because It will force crop diver
sification and not allow cotton to be
king.
At the conclusion of the meeting a
resolution was offered by Ordinary P.
B. Mundy for a mass meting of all of
the citizens of the county to be held
at Appling on the fourth Monday In
September when formal action will be
taken.
It Is expected that Governor Slaton
will be presented with a petition to
call a session of the legislature to
limit the number of acres In cotton
for next year.
