COMMISSIONER’S TALI
Sale Of Fertilizer Tags Has
Not Been Reduced.
10,000,000 BALE CROP A CALAMITY
The Surest Way to Prevent an Over¬
production Is for Every Farmer to
Raise His Own Supplies at Home.
..Other Agricultural News.
April 24, 1905.
If we are to judge by the sale o£
tags, it seems that the farmers have
not decreased their purchase of com¬
mercial fertilizers. Reports, however,
come to this office to the effect that
a considerable amount of the fertiliz¬
ers shipped out have not yet been sold,
and may be left on the hands of the
agents.
We are also informed by letters
from many sources and conversations
with persons representing every sec¬
tion of the State that a much greater
percentage of fertilizers than ever be¬
fore is being applied to crops other
than cotton, and that the farmers are
standing by their pledge to reduce the
cotton acreage, We sincerely hope
that this is true.
As we have said in a recent lettt;
from this department, a crop of more
than 10,000,000 bales for next season
will be a calamity to the planters of
the South, from which they will find
it difficult to rally soon.
A large percentage of the present
crop will probably be carried over to
next season, and will, therefore, form
a part of next year’s supply, Hence
the great necessity of reducing the
cotton acreage.
The difficulty of securing hearty co-
operation of all the cotton-growers in
a movement of this kind has been
demonstrated more than once.
We wish to repeat what has been
said over and over again—the surest
protection against the evil effects of
over-production of cotton is for tin
farmer to live at home by raising as
far as possible all bis food supply for
man and beast. With no necessity
for paying out money to feed himseii
and stock, low prices for cotton will
not hurt so much. For with no debts
to pay, his cotton will bring him a
good amount of surplus money, even
if that surplus is not so large as he
would like. He is in a fairly safe
condition, with whom the question is
how much tan h eput in bank? and
not what percentage of his debts can
he pay?
We are thankful to say that more
of our people than formerly appreciate
this fact, and are conducting their
planting operations on the same sound
business principles that, guide a sue
ci - iiil merchant, manufacturer oi
banker.
A cotton-grower, to be successful
must study diligently the law of gh p
ply and demand. He must be as care-
ful to provide for his next year’s
stoc k in trade what he cun sell at a
good profit and no more, as is thi¬
merchant who goes north to lay in his
supply for the fall or spring trade. A
haphazard manner of conducting one's
business must result in disaster,
whether he be a merchant who buys
without proper calculation of expen
ses and probable profits, a banker who
lends without regard to the ability oi
th-; borrower to pay, a manufacturer
who spends more for equipment and
raw material than the manufactured
product can be reasonably expected to
bring, or a farmer who spends money
for what he ought to raise himself
and stakes all upon a single crop.
We do not waste any time urging
Southern farmers to plant cotton, be
cause we know they will do that; but
we have continually urged them to
raise all needed home supplies, sucl
as wheat, corn, oats, rye, peas anci
every kind of forage crop to which our
soil is suited, to raise also their owt
beef, Pork, chickens and other poul
try, thus having a farm well stockc :c.
with every needful kind of food.
For the purpose of encouraging an
increase in the corn acreage as well
as to impart useful information, this
department has just issued-a bulletin
on "The Selection and Preparation ol
Seed Corn,” by Professor Charles W.
Davis, of the North Georgia Agricul¬
tural College, at Dablonega.
Professor Davis has given his sub
ject much thought and careful study
from a practical as well as a scientific
standpoint. We have not enough ol
these bulletins to send out promiscu¬
ously, but we shall bo glad to mail
one, free of cost, to any farmer who
feels sufficient interest in this sub¬
ject to apply for one.
About three years ago a professor
in Iowa began delivering lectures to
the farmers on methods for increasing
the production and profit of the al
ready fine corn crop of that State. At
first, little interest was felt in his
work, but at last he caught the ear ol
his people and so enthusiastic did they
become that they paid his fare from
point to point for the privilege of lis¬
tening to him. Great, throngs would
gather at the stations, to whom he
spoke from the rear platform of the
car. Such was the interest excited
by him on the subject of corn that the
money value of Iowa's corn crop has
been increased by $1,500,000.
Now is the time to put In your for
age crops of every kind, clover, peas,
velvet beans, millet, sorghum cane and
Advertise in the News
th erarious grasses from which tc
make hay.
liaise all these things, store your
barns with them and in due season
your wagons will go to town with
something to sell and not for the pur 1
chase „ w „ of . western corn, hay and meat.
We repeat: if you provide well
raising all the necessary home sap-
plies, you can plant what ground
have left in cotton with the full as-
surauce of a comfortable living and a
good surplus for the bank.
If the farmer wisely conducts
business, there is no other occupation
that pays such good profits on the iu-
vestment, while allowing leisure for
study and reflection, A farmer wlic
is a real business man. enjoys a life of
greater ease and independence than
ono engaged in any other profession.
In no other business can we invest
and then reap thirty, sixty or even an
hundred-fold.
But earless farming, like bad nian-
agement, in any thing else, leads to
want and ruin. He who does not so
conduct his affairs as to make first
of all the support of himself and fami¬
ly secure, invites trouble from whici
there can be escape only by rare good
luck that comes to not one man in a
thousand.
Hence the great need of agricultur¬
al education, and of constant and un¬
remitting study to keep up with the
best methods.
No profession requires greater in
telligence and none, properly managed,
brings a richer reward.
The hand of the diligent maketh
rich. But diligence Implies labor ol
the brain as well as of the hand.
