High Prices And Independence !
The Southern Farmers Opportunity!!
A bale of cotton, with the seed, is now worth about $150.00. Tobacco is selling at unheard of high prices and
the same is true of practically everything the farmer grows. These prices mean, above all things else, that the
Southern Farmer's hour of golden opportunity has struck. Never in the history of our country has the farmer
had a greater opportunity to achieve that economic independence that is the rightful due of every American
citizen. Never again, probably, will we see a time when the whole world will be so dependent on the farmer, so
willing to adequately reward him for his labor.
To the White Tenant of the South we Would Espe
cially Appeal to Make Use of an Opportunity
That May Never Come Again .
In many communities there will be this Fall small farmers with
the proceeds of their crops amounting to from three to five or six
thousand dollars in cash. Of course the expenses must be paid,
but even after this is done there is going to be a larger surplus of
clear cash than ever before.
The use that is made of this money, the wisdom and foresight
with which it is expended, is going to determine the future econo
mic status of many a Southern farmer?determine whether he
shall remain a tenant, a slave to high prices, or whether he shall be
independent.
TO THE WHITE TENANT FARMER ,
We Would Say Buy Land
The man who owns the soil he tills, who lives under his own
roof, has achieved an independence that is worth all the effort, the
work, the hardship it may have cost. But in buying, buy wisely.
The above is copied, for the most part, from an article appearing in a
recent issue of the Progressive Farmer, one of the leading agricultural papers
in the country. It expresses so well what we wish to say to the farmers of
this section that we thought it well to use it in the form of an advertise
ment. It has been our good fortune to assist many tenant farmers in making
a start toward owning a farm and they are all now happy and prosperous.
