Beginning tf Better Farming
Coincident with the return of
general confidence, busine.^ has re-
vived and people have become
more hopeful and determined. Not
in many years have there been bet-
ter opportunities for the farmer
wliQ raises feed and food crops and
perhaps a smaM acreage of ootton
ti) complete the rotation, to give
employment to hands and to bring
in cash when the crops are har-
vested. And with brighter prospects
for farming has come a hopeful,
optimistic businets sentiment that
is characteristic.
We have derived more wealth
from our farms in 1914. as is shown
by statistics of the department of
agriculture, despite the low prices
offered for cotton, than was pro-
duced in 1913. The only reason
we passed through a period of fi-
nancial depression was that the peo-
ple lacked confidence. Now that
we have passed through the season
of gloom and doubt we are ready to
meet our opportunities.
