Years like 1911 will come
again. They will not bring dis-
aster if every business man
will continuously exert nis in-
fluence to induce every farcer
to "Farm by a Safe System,"
But until not less than 3,000,000
acres of kafir and milo are plant-
every year, and treated like real
crops, every business interest
in the state will be in constant
jeopardy.
The acreage planted to kafir
sad milo should at least be
doubled in 1913. That means an
average of twenty-five acres on
every Upland farm in the state.
Sure fted crops, and live-
stock to consume them, should
be considered first and cash
crops second when attempting
to forecast th, bet financial out-
come of the season's operations
on any farm.

Harmon County's Citizenship
Every ones in a while some
high collored drummer with a
stiff shirt and kid gloves who
would'nt know which end of a
mule to hitch to a plow, comes
along with a loud mouth speel
about the deplorable shiftleness-
ness of southern farmers. The
talk long and loud about the
great things done by the north-
ern farmers near the Kansas
line of this state and the utter
worthlessness of the southern
farmer on the Texas border.
No doubt a just comparison
would show many things to our
discredit. A trip through that
section of the country would
show comfortable farm houses,
commodious barns, well filled
silos, fine cattle horses and hogs
while in our part of the country
many of the farmers are still
living in dugouts and not a few
in one or two room shacks
while their barns are nothing
more than mere sheds for wind
to be absolutely sure of more

by planting less cotton and more

A good acreaga in kafir and
maize, a silo, a good bunch . of
hogs, a few good brood mares,
some good milk cows and a Well
stocked poultry yard on a Har-
mon county farm and it makes
very {little difference whether
cot*cn is worth 10 or cents.
