The Liberal has been besieged with letters begging that we use oar utmost influence urging the farmers of Miller not to plant much •ottoa this year. One letter ad dressed to the late Joe Toole earn estly pleaded that he pay the editor to insist on Miller’s farmers not raising cotton. The editress will not ask the farmers to reduce the acreage put in cotton. They pro duced food crops, principally peanuts, last year, and hundreds lost mach money on them. No, we are not going to urge the far mers to reduce the acreage put in cotton. We qelieve, however, that during the reconstruction period, it will be beet for all farmers to diversify tqeir crops, and to pro duced enough of all food for the ■Se of his family and his live stock.

Seventeen Pigs At A Farrow Edison News:— Mr. C, S. Sealy of this city haa, cor a long time, been one of our leading and successful planters and breeders of fine cattle; but has now developed into the "cliampeen” tlog raiser of this whole section. He has lately converted his herd of hogs into thoroughbred Duroc Jerseys, and now has a lot of prize-winners. But the latest development in Vlr. Sealy’s hog raising interests will make him famous in this line of industry, which fact was accom plished Monday of this week by one of his hue Duroc sows, whet she delivered seventeen, just think seventeen, fine healthy pigs at one farrow. This is a record for prolific hogs it least in Southwest Georgia, and .his champion sow is a very tine inimal, being of pedigreed stoeb and weighing about six hundred pounds.

FARM PROSPERITY IN GRAVE DANGER Hastings Declares Greater Food Pro duction Essential To The Main tenance Os Agricultural Prosperity Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—That there is a large element of danger for Southern farm prosperity In the pres ent situation, is the firm belief of H. G. Hastings, President of both th* Georgia State Chamber of Commerce and the Southeastern Fair Associa tion. Mr. Hastings repeated substantially his statement of a year ago when he said: ‘‘Unthinking people are apt to attribute the present measure of farm prosperity in the South to the high price of cotton rather than to its real cause. ‘‘Just as soon as peace began to ap pear probable last fall, there was a distinct let-up in the planting of wheat, oats and other small grains. One Georgia cotton fanner said to me, ‘lf we are going to have, peace, we are not going to plant, any wheat ia my neighborhood.’ “Os course the high price of cot ton has helped, but if it bad not been for the increased supply of bread, meat, vegetables, grain and forage made on the farms, there would have been little prosperity for any one but the supply merchant. Cotton was and is relatively lower in price than food stuffs, and will continue to be for' years to come. “An extra two or three million bales in the 1919 cotton crop will -mash present attractive prices, while the world wide demand for bread and meat and the disorganization of food production in Europe incident to the war, means high food prices every where for years to come. “High food prices are a certainty and low cotton prices are an equal certainty if the food and grain acres of 1916, 1917 and 1918 are thrown back into cotton in 1919. Herein lies the danger to our present farm prosper ity. If we go back to our old before the-war system of growing all cotton and buying all food and grain, we will get another jolt like 1914 with rea sonable certainty. "Present Southern farm prosperity can be maintained in one way Only. Produce on home acres, so far as pos sible, every pound of food, vegetables, grain, hay and forage needed by fam ily and livestock, then put every other available acre in cotton or other cash crop. This method means cash crops made with little or no debt—the crop owned by the producer at the end of the season instead of ‘owed’ to the supply merchant. “Food and grain production sufff '<rient for home needs, insures contin ued farm prosperity. Dropping baek to the eld way means debt like a mill jjon® Around the fanner’s neck.”
