Ij.the lives of nations ; times of stress have brought e'mhereni
greatness of, peoples to the fore. The economic crisis we are
today facing is the greatest since pur Civil Wat;lut there is every
reasonsto believe that out of it the South wilterge stronger, bet-;

people to do this; we have the oils,; the cUma and the crops; to
these resources' it is only necessary that we apply' the knowledge
that will make of - them ' the means by- wmcn we snail attain : to a
How?
1. ,We must learni now and for all
time, the, evilaofH a - one-crop systetn
that it means poor land, poot people,
tnd the constant .' menace of over-sup-"
ply and absence l of demand, with' prices t
below the cost of production. It is all
very well to make a specialty of some
particular crop, but we have yet to 'see
the crop that we can successfully grow on v.
purchased food and feedstiif fs. : '. . "
ivAs a direct result of ouV'all-cot-..;
ton farming: our,; soils have become so ;
impoverished that on thousands of farmsVv
no crop can be grown at a profit. To .
rebuild these worn soils, to restore-to

3. As corollaries of getting away from' the one-crop idea and mak
ing our soils rich, come diversified crops and livestock. How we
shall diversify wliat livestock we shall raise and how to handle them,
these are problems that right now we must give the most earnest
4. ? Then, lastly, after our crops are grown, and particularly the
crops that must take the place of cotton, it is vital that we know hot?
to v market them ; otherwise our changed system will be of littlo

Hence we say, know your jobl Never 1
f in bur history has there been , a time
when knowledge tellss as it does now; ;
never has there been a time when it was
more true that the man who wins is tho
man who knows. The United States De-
partment 'of Agriculture, the ; state de-
; partmentsof agriculture; the ; agricul I
tiiral colleges and experiment stations,''
and the iarm papers, are sources of in
formation that we should use liberally.
-Let's hdrness these forces and use them
- to make the i coming year one that marks
our final : breaking away from the bid
methods that have meant no good to
us nor to our communities, and our ac
ceptance of a new agricultural and eco
nomic faith that will mean a; perman
ently better South...; '.''.' ;
