The Cotton Farmer’s Cow
■v
The farmer who grows so much
cotton that he has no room for a cow
is neglecting a chance to make some
easy money.
If he would follow the advice of the
American Cotton Association, if he
would plant fewer acres of cotton, use
carefully selected seed and fertilize
highly. -
He would increase his production of
lint cotton per acre, thereby maintain-
ing the standard of supplies, but reduc-
ing the net cost per pound;
He would have left acreage on his
farm to keep cows, to raize hogs, to
grow fruits and vegetables and grains.
These would feed his family and give
him enough extra cash so that ho could
store his cotton in the system of ware-
houses advocated by tho American Cot-
ton Association and get for it a L.ir
and etiuitablo price.
The Cotton Farmers Cow is tho title
V
of on article - iu a great series about
the work of the American Cotton As-
sociation now appearing in The Country
Gentleman. (Five cents a copy from
any newsstand; $1.00 a year by mail—
fifty-two issues, if you .-.end to The
Country Gentleman, Philadelphia, Pen-
na.) Many sections of the South are
finding freedom from the all-cotton sys-
tem, with its poverty and privations,
by keeping cows whose milk is made
into cheese. These farmers hank their
cotton money as pure velvet.
This hank, first, last and all the time,
is for the American Cotton Associa-
tion’s program of better cotton, higher
prices, diversified crops—and more
money for all.
