would flood and end the productiv-1

THE SOUTH MUST
GROW ITS OWN FOOD
NO FARM SECTION CAN BUY ITS
rnoo AND GRAIN AND
GROW RICH.
Atlanta. Ga.? (Special >?"Few people
in the South realize the enormous
drain there has been on the ,
Souths wealth through the steady
food and grain buying during the past 1
fifty years. What s the greater pity
of it is the fact that most of this
money comes directly out of the farm
pocket, said It. G Hastings. ->f At
lanta. Chairman of the Farm and
Market In it Bureau of the Vtlanta
Chamber of Commerce.
"For fifty years or more the cities
and towns of the Cotton TV!t have
been furnishing food and cr.na to the
farmer instead of our farmers feeding
the cities and towns. While the < jt.. *
and towns have had the st of this
unnatural business, it has really im,
poverished both cointrv and city."
' "As nearly a? cat* 1?> ascertain! d.
my own state ct Georgia has sj?nt
in the last 2~? years not less than two
and one half billion dollars for food
and grain from the North and west,
real hard rash money that ought to he
sticking in our farmers* pork' *- That
money is gone never to re?urn
"It is no over statement or exaggeration
to say thai twenty-five Milton
dollars of the South'* money has gone
that way in the last fifty years. It
was good, hard worked for farm
money What we have Men doing i?
spending our lives growing cotton,
trading it off for bread and meat at
no profit to ourselves.
"No use to "cuss the powers that
he jn Washington or the trusts, tariff,
batiks or speculators They may
have bad a part hut a mighty small
part in comparison with the part wo
ourselves have played The way to
stop that drain on our pockets is to
top huviag food. grain and forage
and produce the*'* necessary items on
: home acre s.
"The time to start is now. Plans
for I-1 are being made Before a
plow i? Stuck 1U i lie *T?Vui>d. 'uOu.
' erain and forage acres should be set

When thee w? fixed then the farmer
I ran go as far as he likes with cotton,
j tobacco or other cash crop safely
"Give the horn" garden a chance In

helper in cutting store hills in half

ideal instead of the usual 'lick And
