COTTON PICKING SCENE IN GREER COUNTY.
Diversification Vs. Over-Production..
The Southern Cotton Association
will not ask the farmers of the South
to reduce the cotton acreage for 190C
less than planted in 1905. The Asso-
ciation does ask and insist with all th*
force at its command that the acreage
planted in cotton throughout the belt
in 1905 be not increased during the
planting season of 190G. Let th<?
watchword of every Southern farmor
be DIVERSIFICATION, and through
that agency produce an abundance of
food supplies to maintain each farm.
Permanent independence, thrift and'
prosperity can only be enjoyed by|
Southern cotton growers through tho1
adoption and maintenance of a s.vo-!
tem which will make each farm self-'■
sustaining. It is the only medium
through which the present iniquitous
credit system, which has so long held
our people in bondage, can be effec-
tively broken up and relegated to the
past. It is the only medium through
which the great masses of cotton pro-
ducers can ever hope to control tho
suit of this display of good Judgme.it
ou the part of the farmers is today
seen in bringing the production jf
cotton within the legitimate demands
for consumption, good prices for the
staple and well-filled corn cribs and
smokehouses from North Carolina to
the Rio Grande river. The agricultur-
al, commercial, industrial and finan-
cial interests of the South are today
enjoying an era of prosperity far in
excess of any period experienced with-
in the past half century. To maintain
our present position, and forge ahead
In the achievement of greater suo-
CP8SC8, it is lmparatlve that no serious
mistake be mnde by the planters who
are now making their nrrangemen's
for the Bpring planting of 190C. Let
every man pause and calmly consider
his future even while enjoying tin
flush of a victory which has been the
most marvelous ever won in modern
times.
Present Acreage Sufficient.
The present estimated twenty-seven
million acres planted In cotton is suf-
acreage, fertilize liberally, cultivate
well, produce plentifully on the acre-
age planted and enjoy those "ewards
which should be the fulsome portlos
of those who till our Southern soils.
Study the possibilities of our soIU
and climate and learn to appreciate
and develop the wonderful resource*
of our command in the field, £|trdes
and orchard of Southern agriculture.
Become depositors in your banks rath-
er than borrowers. Get on a cash bav
is as rapidly as possible and break
up the ruinous credit system which Is
the past has been so fatal to cottoa
growers. As Southern farms become
each year more self-sustaining under
the adoption of a diversified and in-
tensive system of culture and proper
rotation of crops, the growers of the
Smith's great staple can quickly regu-
late its marketing to meet the legitj
mate -demands of consumption and
maintain its price at such figures an
will always give to the producer a
prollt on its production, nuild ware-
