Farm To Make A
Living In 1931
The maximum drought loan from
thrf government for anyone landlord
and his tenants has been increased
from $660.80 to $2000.UU. To those
i who are borrowing lets not be too ot>
I toulslic and attempt to borrow (lie
> full amount il you do not need it. We
have already experienced some dlt
[ ftriflty and unpleasantness caused by
' ln<i}v:<luais borrowing last year more
than they needed and (ailing to pa)
it back. This failure to repay it U
causing their applications to be cut
more severely.
JXn't forget the slogan "Farm K
make;* Living in 1J31". Let's noi
chantfb that to read "Farm to get
rich, in 1931" and attempt to do ?? bj
increasing our cotton and tobacc(
acreage. a They will not grant monej
(or an increase in acreage o( either
I am not Saying not (o plant cotton
and tobacco, but first plant anffleieni
feedstuff for your livestock and pour
try, that is, hay and corn (or youi
workstock so that old Dobbin have
good soybean, cowpeas, or lespedeza
hay to nibble on those cold wind]
nights next winter instead 'of cdri
stalks. Seed two acres of soy beam
cowpeas or lespedeza for each cow
40 she will have a nutritious ratioi
instead of cotton seed and meal
! Don't forget that it takes about 11
bushels of corn properly Supplement
ed to grow a pig to 20 pounds. 8c
plant plenty of corn.
A farmer with two mules, one cow,
three pigs and 50 hens should pro
' duce a minimum of 250 bushels oi
corn or about fifteen acres using last
; years yield as a basis or 12 acres on
the average would be sufficient. It
' is time now for seeding spring oats.
Try an .-.ere per head of workstock
using 2 1-2 busliels per acre of seed
1 and topdress not later than April
' 10th with nitrate' ?of Soda.
\."The government will finance the
farmer (or seed, (eed and (ertillzer,
, but pothing (or food (or his (amily,
says someone, and I can't understand
why they do it". Neither can the gov
ernment understand why the people
living In Franklin County with a cli
mate so conducive (or the growth of
vegetables the year round, adapted
to the production o( poultry, and pork
laislrig should have to call' (or food.
Yes we had a very dry year, but did
you produce your food the years be
fore? This should not be.
Each applicant signs a sworn state
ment that he will produce sufficient
food stuff (or livestock and a home
far den and we sincerely hope that
each Individual will do this to the
lullest extent. Let's live, first, this
year and forget about making mon?y
mill after we have provided for our
fam.ly and livestock. Without some
misfortune should happen our way.
we should be ashamed to admit next
winter that we had to go to the gro
cryman tor vegetables, eggs and
meat. . .
