any business to support one family,

system has been operating. The
unprofitableness of this type of
farming to the tenant and the land-
owner has been intensified in the
last several years, reaching the low
mark for returns on farm products
during the past season. The day
of reckoning is being hastened, be-

SHE CANNED TEN BALES
Mrs. Rhea Hanby of the Edwards
community, Dallas county, writes
for the M.-K.-T. Employes’ Maga-
zine her story of how she canned
ten bales of cotton. Mrs. Hanby
has a 4-H pantry, and explains
what it is. To have that kind of
a pantry, you sit down and plan
a year in advance. You know the
size of your family, that there are
three meals a day and 365 days in
the year. Also you know that your
garden with available fresh vege-
tables will last so many days out
of that year. The problem is to
estimate how many cans of what
you need to provide for the remain-
ing gardenless days in each com-
modity.

lanta Constitution states that over

in Georgia w ithin the past 10 years
and suggests that there is a local
market for farm products far be-

Constitution believes the amount
of money sent out of the State ev-
ery year for farm produce would,
if spent in the State, make its
farms highly profitable. Virtually
the same condition applies in every
Southern State. Unless greater di-
versification is brought about there
will be fewer farms in the future,
creating a further labor surplus
for which work must be provided.

Feature Editor
newspaper man, but as well as one
of the most aggressive and pro-
gressive editors and publishers, as
well. In the twenty years or so
that he has served Milam county
citizens, he has developed The
Reporter into one of the best, if
not the best newspaper that coun-
ty has ever boasted, and it required
only the first couple of years of
the twenty to accomplish that.
Associated with Cooke in the
business is his son. William H.,
who was a tiny lad when the fam-
ily removed from Brady, but who
has developed into a thorough-go-
ing newspaper man, and one of the
best advertising men in the State,
his advertising lay-outs being top-
notch. This, coupled with a capa-
ble «hop foreman and crew, has
resulted in The Reporter repeated-
ly winning awards for best- set ads
and classiest exhibits of printing,
in the Texas Press Association an-
nual contests.
In its new and attractive quar-
ters, and with the loyal support of
the citizenship. The Reporter, in
future, will be enabled to perform
an even greater and more valua-
ble service for its constituency
than has characterized the plant
and the management in the past.
PARDON US FOR BOASTING,
IT’S IN THE AIR
Editor J. C. Smyth, who under
the cognomen of "Jake,” contri-
bute a front-page editorial col-
umn. "Scurryly Speaking." to that
excellent weekly newspaper. The
Scurry County Times, became all
enthusiastic in last week's issue,
and proceeded to proudly boast that
of all the 50-odd exchanges that
came to his desk, to his prejudiced
eye, the Times ranks top hole, ace
high—the finest rose in the garden
of roses, as it were.
In his enthusiasm, says “Jake,”
ays he:
“A careful check of exchange
papers since January 1 reveals
the fact that your home coun-
ty paper carries more news of
local interest than any weekly
paper we receive, with one
possible exception.
“The Times carries more
community correspondents’ let-
ters than any paper we re-
ceive. Incidentally, at least
fifty Texas weeklies come to i
our exchange desk.
“I have never seen a weekly
society page that compares, in
my prejudiced eye, with ours.”
That's
morning shopping, visiting or tend-
ing to my turkeys, I can do so
without worry, because I know
that my organized pantry and my
planned meals will shorten the
time necessary for me to prepare
a meal that I am proud of, whether
my guests are my family, my clos-
est friends or my most particular
acquaintances.”
At the grocery store the food in
Mrs. Hanby’s pantry will cost
$400.55, she estimates. Costs of
cans, labor on the garden and so
on is deducted, leaving a net value
of $354.55. Deducting cotton pick-
ing costs, as Mrs. Hanby observes,
"it would take ten bales of my hus-
band's 9c cotton to buy it.” Oddly
enough, Mrs. Hanby says not a
word about farm relief, 9c cotton
or no 9c cotton. She doesn't even
advocate a commission at Austin
or a loan from Washington. Women
are strange that way, you know.

FORTUNES MADE FROM
PESSIMISTS
Herbert N. Casson, a noted econ-
omist, in a recent article said:
"The way to create a fortune is
to buy from pessimists. Pay your
money and take the risk.
“Frick started his career by
buying coke ovens in the slump of
1873. Carnegie made $300,000,000
by buying steel plants in slumps.
Hundred- of fortunes have been
made by buying from pessimists.
Ye Gods! What a chance there is
at this moment!
“In five years from now, most
American business men will belong
to the ‘I-wish-I-had club.’
"Then it will be too late to buy
a dollar for thirty cents.
“The opportunities will be gone.
“When a horse balks, the balk
is in his head, not in his legs. He
moves on when he thinks he will.
“And when an American busi-
ness man is depressed, the slump is
in his head. There is nothing seri-
ous to prevent him from making
money if he thinks he will.
"When fear rules the will, noth-
ing can be done, but when a man
casts fear out of his mind the
i world becomes his oyster.
“To lose a bit of money is noth-
ing. but to lose hope, to lose nerve
and ambition—that is what makes |
men cripples.
I "This depression has gone on I
long enough. Get rid of it; it is
inside of you."

a sample of “Jake's” I the following:

tensified and that in the near fu-r’ "’ ’ '
ture much work must be done with
modern machinery, resulting in
small farms being thrown together
for economic operation and in ex-
tra labor hired on a cash basis.
Throughout the South such
changes are already under way.
Not at any previous time has the
Southern farmer given so much at-
tention to co-operation, diversifica-
tion and the use of farm machin-
ery. Power-driven machinery—us-
ing internal combustion motors or
electricity which is being made
available by the extension of rural
power lines of Southern public util-
ities—is taking the place of man-
ual labor heretofore required in
many farming .operations. The
one-horse-plow farmer and all that
the type signifies is being forced
out of farming by economic neces-
sity or into the adoption of mod-
ern methods and equipment.
The question that confronts the
South is, into what channel can
this surplus labor be turned to its
profit and to the South’s benefit?
In the advance made by the South
in manufacturing during the past
decade we have seen how some of
this surplus labor is absorbed. In
