of interest, to all the farmers

By C. H. Morris, Agricultural
Agent L. A. & T. Ry. Co.
Having recently been appoint
ed Agricultural Agent for the
L. A. & T. Railway Co., of Tex-
as, and being deeply interested
in the success of our farmers
and business men, as well as in
the future of the railroad, I am
taking this means of emphasiz-
ing a few suggestions to the
farmers, as they come to me
from the best authority on
farm. . _ -
In the first place I want to
say that our particular section
of Texas is more fortunately
situated than almost any other
section of the state for the rea-
son that it is little or Mo trou-
ble for our farmers to diversify,
and to plan their crops so that
they will not only have full
*
grow where one bale grew be-
fore. All this I would_try to
do, bearing in mind the fact
that any of these crops might
fail to meet my expectations,
but that, in our section, we
may always grow abundantly
of some of these crops, and
that we as farmers, are better
able to face adversity ami hard
times when we havean abund-
ance of feral for man and beast.
Those who heard the address
of L. E. Robinson, can realize
how important for farmers it is
to plant sufficient acres of to-
matoes, Irish potatoes and oth-
Good quality cotton knit Jer-

them. Our Spring Suits have every

_ in a study of general busi-
ness conditions the other day, I
was forcibly .impressed with a
thought advanced by a leading
business man of the nation
that was: "There is no general
prosperity in the nation and
there never has been unless the
farmer was also prosperous.
Big business and little business
have come to fully realize this,
and certainly no-class of bus-
iness 1 realizes thl more fully
than the railroads of our coun-
try. If business is prosperous,
people travel mor often, they
trade with each other, the
freight business is multiplied
many times, and the railroad is
vitally, interested in your suc-
cess. the success of the town,
and in the general improve-
ment of business. Therefore,
the railroads of the country
have adopted a policy of ap-
pointing Aricultural Agents to
assist the farmers in dealing
with local problems, and, while
t . -
barns and full larders, but that-] any large extent. If, we were
located in an nil cotton country
I would say reduce the acreage,
11.2 per cent, hay 10.6 per cent.
Irish potatoes 21.6, sweet pota-
toes 40.8, eane syrup 43 per
cent, sorghum syrup 21.6. truck
4.2, tomatoes 16.4, peaches 23,
dairy products 11, cattle 4,
hogs 8.6, poultry 6.5, eggs 5.4,
turkeys 2. These are per cent-
ages as compared with these
crops in Texas as a whole.
From these figures, it would
seem that we are not abnor-
mally high on cotton, but that
we are low. far too low on hogs
poultry, turkeys, cattle and
dairy products.
I merely rgive these figures
to be studied as a basis in for-
mulating your plans for the
coming year. My own ideas of
farming in our section might

ain’s habits—it was and it

Texas* produced 20.9 per cent
of the cotton grown in Texas
in 1931. Therefore, it. would
seem that we could well afford
to undertake to produce our
regular 10.5 per cent of cotton,
and still have room for all oth-
er crops that we grew so boun-
tifully in 1931._

While I am on the subject of

I do not think it good idea to

any, over last year, but that
does not' mean that I think it
