Urges Farmer# to Farm.**
Crop Hot #t/|Sxtotol
To the Officers and Members of the
Farmers' Union:
, At this critical stage in the cotton
situation, with the Farmers' Unto#
.and scores' of business leaders and
general s southern factors battling to
•torn the tide of unfair prices, the
first duty of the farmer la to hold hi*
cotton. .
Those who sell at pfteent prices
aro simply giving away * toW# «l
several million dollars to spinner*
and speculators. Quotation* after the
first of the year will' establish the
truth of that assertion. The most
difficult part of the campaign til,
now upon us. To waver to to tow
the effect of the splendid work al-
ready accomplished.
In South Carolina, under the lead-
ership of B. J. Watson, president oi
the Southern cotton congress," they aro
instituting a system of pledgesWhlch
binds the planter to hold his present
cotton for thirteen cento; and further,
not" to sow' more than sixty per cent,
of the. arable acreage in cotton for
the coming season. The plan is an
excellent one. Statlstlcs and our own
common sense tell us that the crop
now in hand is worth much more than
is belng_offered for It But! If civili-
sation needs the sharp lessons of a
short crop to emphasise the wisdom
of fair dealing with the farmer—then
co be Itl
The south is In better position to
be absolutely Independent than any
other section of the country. Just
assume, for the sake of Illustration,
that soli conditions were euch that
we could not produce cotton. We
would then proceed to realize upon
the south's heaven-sent heritage by
producing the great staple crops rais-
ed in every other section of Ameri-
ca, the crops they rely upon to sus-
tain life, to bring in revenue, to pro-
mote prosperity.
Think what southern soil cah yield.
Corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, sweet
potatoes, Irish potatoes, turnips,
peas, vetch, burr clover, alfalfa, rib-
bon cane, sorghum, watermelons, all-
kinds of vegetables, cows, hogs,
sheep, goats, mules, poultry and poul-
try products, dairy products, and all
