35 Years of Faithful Service
Agricultural Colleges Like Beacon
Lights Shining Through Darkness
to Guide Farmers in Present Crisis
Experts Competent to Advise How Best to Take Advantage
of Opportunity Presented Now That Revolution in Southern
Agriculture is Beginning, and Their Advice is Free For the
Asking.
WALTER E. DUNCAN,
Staff Correspondent The Augusta
Herald.
There 1h not the Hllghtent doubt
that the 1915 cotton acreage will be
cut - uLusli* <i throughout tlie cotton
belt.
The vitnl point is will the licre
ngp be rut sufficiently?
With 5,000,000 bales brought over
unconsumed from the 1913 crop and
with, say, 9,000,000 bales of the 1914
crop that, in list be carried over a
conservative estimate there will be
enough cotton to supply the world
demand even if not a bale should be
grown next year.
Half a normal crop next year will
only pile up the surplus and cheapen
the price of that already on hand.
If the European war goes on as
m w appears more than probable
even a quarter of an average crop
next will help ke*»p the mar
ket down.
The name conditions which de
crease the price of cotton increase
the price of foodstuffs and feedstuffs.
The South, for its own salvation,
must now become a food-producing
section.
The world must eat, and with half
the world at war unable, there
fore, to produce Its own food supply—
the Southern farmer need not con
sider 11 1 at. because he cannot now grow
cotton profitably the business of farm
ing has gone to ruin.
The Southern farmer has before
him right now the most splendid op
portunity he has ever had.
To come fully into his own, to bring
back prosperity in fuller measure
than ever before, he has only to change
his methods to produce food in
stead of cotton, foodstuffs and feed
stuffs not only in quantity sufficient
to supply Ills own needs, hut to help
feed the hungry world.
Tim world markets will pay a good
price for food products and for feed
stuffs. The world markets will not
pay for cotton a price covering the
cost of production not at present,
and not this time next year if the
surplus cotton now on hand is in
ert ased by another crop, or even half
un average crop, next. year.
Hut, it is argued, everything in the
South is based on cotton. That Is
unfortunately true.
If, however, the fanner can buy cot
ton from the speculators in cotton,
who have never seen a cotton crop
growing ml know nothing of cotton
culture, cheaper than they can pro
duce cotton, why, if the farmer must
have cotton, would it not be a profit
able business to buy it instead of
making it ?
The South has clung too long to
the old fallacy that Cotton is the only
"nmney crop/* That fallacy has been
the ruination of many a farmer. There
are other "money crops.”
If, for the next few years, the
world will not buy the Southern farm
er’s cotton at a fair price, the South
ern farmer, if lie is to keep on farm
ing, must produce something that the
world will buy at a fair price.
The farmer who is holding as much
of his this year’s cotton crop os lie
can, hoping to market it next year
at a price above the cost of produc
ts n, is simply defeating the very
purpose he has in view by holding if
he produces more cotton next year.
Then, if not cotton, what?
It is encouraging that throughout
1 1ho cotton belt more grain is now be
ilng sown or has already been sown
than ever before.
It is encouraging that farmers ev
ery whine throughout the South, many
who have heretofore given little or no
attention to hogs, raising a few, per
haps, are now planning to go in for
iiog raising an a business proposi
tion to give it as much attention
us they have heretofore given to rais
ing cotton.
in the necessity which has been
forced upon the Southern farmer to
begin now' to live at home there is
encouragement.
It is a fact that in South Carolina
only two chickens are rained a year
|to each person, and only one-third of
a hog a year to each person. While
lin Georgia there are more chickens
and more hogs rained, Georgia, like
I South Carolina, Benda millions of dol
lar* to the West every year for meat.
The South has been too busy rais
ing cotton to feed itself.
The South must now feed itself or
go hungry.
That is what the Kuropean war has
done for the South, and it is a bless
ing.
It has done for the farmers of the
South what the farmers of the South
have never been able to do for them
selves.
It has opened the way for them to
make their farms pelf-sustaining,
opened the way for them to get the
business of producing cotton down to
a business basis, to put that business
- in which the South has a monop
oly on a profitable basis with some
guarantee that the man who invests
his money, his time and his labor to
making a crop of cotton will get a
fair price and profit on his money,
his time and his labor.
To do that he must, make something
else besides cotton. That is as clear
as the noonday sun.
In the present crisis ns the revolu
tion in Southern agriculture is begin
ning every farmer owes it to himself
and to his country to make the most
of his opportunity.
"God helps those that help them
selves.” So do the agricultural col
leges and the state and federal de
partments of agriculture, these effi
cient agencies designed anil main
tained for the benefit of the agricul
tural classes.
The farmer who has been growing
fill cotton, depending almost alto
gether on cotton, should get in touch
now with the agricultural college of
his state. It is not necessary to go

go to him.
If he would know what other
“money crops" there are Instead of
cotton, how to raise them, how to
market them, how to get the best re
sults, the South Carolina farmer has
only to ask for information from
Clomson and the Georgia farmer to
make his request through the State
College - of Agriculture at Clemson.
There are experts employed at these
