.The slogan, “The American Mar-

sounds well but doesn’t suit the
South, which has to export about
half its cotton and tobacco and
cannot hope to continue selling
abroad unless it also buys abroad.
So thinks The Progressive Farmer

If you who do the washing

You can tie his heart securely

1. Grow into it instead of go into
it (and especially right now—get in
for as little cash expense as pos-
sible).
2. Feed and fencing must come
before animals.
3. Make maximum use of waste
land, especially rich branch bottoms
now growing in bushes, trees, etc.,
that could be cleaned up in winter
and spring.
Pastures must be the basis of
any livestock program,
and lime make the clovers;
nitrogen gathered by the clovers
makes the grass.
5. Recognition of the fact that
we cannot sell com and grass and
forage crops profitably except
through livestock.
6. Sheep are one of our best bets
if not crowded on the land.
7. We must work out systems
suited to the South for raising live-
stock on a share basis with intelli-
gent. careful tenants.
8. More attention to marketing
and handling products through co-
operative chanels, especially milk
and poultry. We must find ways
to market more hogs during off
seasons, develop storage, and do more
curing for local sale.
9. Any program must Include
adequate attention to Bang’s in
dairy cattle, cholera and worms in
hoes, blacklee in all cattle, general
sanitation with poultry.

We usually think of Andrew
Jackson as the fiery fighter who
could quell mutinies single-handed.
But he had another side. We
catch a glimpse of it in the following
extract from an article on Rachel
Donelson Jackson In The Progressive
Farmer:
“No medieval knight ever served
his lady fair with a mere chivalrous
devotion that did rough Andrew
Jackson. Always when business
called him from her side, he wrote to
his ‘Dear Heart,’ ‘Dearest Love,’
‘Dearest Wife’—letters that made up
in ardor what they lacked in literary
subtlety. Fiercely he vowed he’d
kill any man conce he did) who
spoke her name lightly.
“Popular demand forced Jackson
Into the White House, but Rachel
never lived there. This fine woman,
with a lifetime of good works to her
credit, became the target of elec-
tioneering mudslingers, the Robards
divorce their ammunition. Jackson
could silence the slanderers; he could
not undo their mischief. Jackson
believed it killed Rachel for she died
just before his inauguration.
“But she lived always in her
husband-lover’s heart. The lonely
old fire-eater read her Bible every
night before retiring and wore her
I miniature around his neck until the
I last.”

has
the American market for the things
he produces, the same as he has al-
ways had. For many years he has
been supplying approximately 90
percent of the domestic market. In
recent years that percentage has
not declined; if anything it has in-
creased.
But why doesn’t the Americn
farmer, with his agricultural sur-
pluses, supply 100 percent of the
domestic market?
The American farmer might pos-
sibly be able to supply 100 percent
of the domestic market. If he were
to completely supply the domestic
market, however, he would be doing
two things.
First, he would be raising pro-
ducts which he is not equipped to
produce, such as coffee, rubber,
silk and bananas. Consequently
they would be produced only
a high unit cost, if at all.
Second, because he would be
shutting out all imports of foreign
farm products into this country,
his products would likewise be
barred from foreign markets. And
since the Amercan farmer needs
more than the American market,
he could not afford that course.
For instance, during the last 15
years, our domestic agricultural ex-
ports have averaged $1,346,000,000
whereas competitive imports have
averaged $718,000,000. To have gone
on a strictly nationalistic basis dur-
ing this period would have cost the
American fanner $528,000,000 a|year.
In other words, it is more econom-
ical for the farmer to produce an
abundance of those commodities
which he is best equipped to pro-
duce—with them supplying the
home market and selling the re-
mainder abroad—while he lets for-
eign producers supply a trickle of
competitive imports and certain
speciality articles not so readily
produced in this country.

Here is a little story which will
instantly remind each of us of
someone we know—and perhaps of
something we could truthfully say
to him. We quote it from Rev. J.
W. Holland in The Progressive
Farmer:
“The other day I found in my
office a dejected looking man a
little past middle life. A slight
stoop of his shoulders told of many
loads which had tested ever fiber
of his body and mind. He said:
‘I have worked since my teens. I
couldnt get any schooling and
married early. We have reared
three fine children, but could not
do everything for them we wanted
to. I have paid my debts, gone to
church, and behaved myself, but
where has it all gotten me?’
“Man, there’s only one trouble
with you,’ I said. ‘You have arrived,
and don’t know it. You are a suc-
cess in life without the material
trimmings to worry over. Wherever
you have been, life has always
been a little whiter, and you have
endowed your children with mill-
ionaire-memories of a worthy fa-
ther.’
“He lifted his shoulders a little.
‘Well, I guess it isn’t as bad as I
thought,’ he said. There are mill-
ions like him who need some ap-
preciation from their fellows.
“If wc but had the wisdom and
love of our Master, we would keep
our eyes wide open for every
chance to praise the good and mini-
mize the shortcomings of
neighbor.”
Juanita Teague, after a month’s
vacation in Nocona, returned to Fort
Worth last week, where she is em-
ployed.
Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Boulton of
Dallas spent the first few days of
this week in Nocona as guests in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Boyd and
family. They also visited other
friends.
The University of Kentucky Col-
lege of Agriculture made a study
of outstandingly good farmers to
find out the factors which make
for success in farming. The Pro-
gressive Farmer reports the follow-
ing summary of the answers:
1. Since control of expenses is
easier than control of prices, suc-
cessful farmers reduce, costs. They
produce the most at the smallest
cost. •
2. Good farmers also use lime-
stone and phosphate.
3. They grow winter cover crops
on plowed land.
4. Seed mixed clovers and gras-
ses.
5. Grow enough vegetables, meat,
milk, and eggs for home use.

7. Purchase only concentrated

8. Keep enough cattle and sheep
to use all hay and pasture, and
enough hogs to eat all the corn not
needed for other stock.
9. Do or supervise all labor them-
selves.
10. Do work on time.
11. Have fencing and stock water
adequate for all fields to be pas-
tured at the right time.
11. Successful tobacco growers
give special attention to curing.
13. Dairy farmers who succeed,
cull, select, and feed for high pro-
duction.
14. Those who raise sheep pro-
vide small grain pasture, house
and care for their flocks.
15. Hog raisers follow sanitary
methods in feeding and farrowing,
save most pigs, and push them
through to early market condition.
