In making this season's cotton crop,
farmers have done so at the lowest
cost ever by doing without everything
except the baresl necessities. True
they largely raised their own living
on the farm (a thing which they
should have been doing all the years
when cotton brought 15c to 30c a
pound.) but they have been out of
the market for practically all kinds
of goods which in the past have gone
to give farm life its character, charm
and stajiility.
As one farmer in talking with the
writer put it, ‘‘We are taking it out
of the hides of ourselves, our women
and children,” when he referred to
the low standard of living to which
farmers huve been reduced. In this,

their crop to meet a price of 5c and

this they can be said to have reached
an irreducibje minimum. To go fur-

worse. Any methods put into prac-
tice to meet a price of 5e a pound fur
cotton at best are emergency meas-
