What Shall We do Next Year?
This is a plain straight question
and should be answered in a plain
straight forward manner, there
should be the very least trouble
in solving this question. People
at all times should profit by past
blunders, arid see to it that those
blunders are not repeated.
The whole south is taking a
lesson at the school of experience
which Mr. Webster said "Is a
dear school; but that fools will
learn at no other" I do not
mean to leave the impression that
southern farmers are fools, but
quote Mr. Webster, and let .us all
get whatever lesson comes to
us from it.
The thing to do next year is
just the thing that should have
been done last year and in all the
years hereafter to come. That
is to practice sane and safe farm
ing, and this means for every
farm to grow every article of
food possible for family consump
tion and all the feed crops for
feeding the animals . of all kind
kept on the farm. Not only this
but we need a readjustment of
our farm plans and aims. More
livestock must be kept on the
i . .
farms m the . future on account
Si -
of the approaching boll wevil,
and that means that more animal
feed stuff must be , provided,
which means that hay and pasture
crops must be provided. Then
the Question comes up "What
shall we do next year"? The
answer is for every son and
daughter of Adam's race roll up 1
