SELF SUPPORTING AGRICULTUItE
Self supporting agriculture is the subject of an article
in the current University News Letter by Mr. Bradford
Knapp, Farm Demonstrator Chief, who says: "We have
a good thing in tho South, if we will only go to work and
make agriculture self-supporting.
‘‘The plan of tho Federal Department of Agriculture la to
foster homo gardens, to encourage thrift by teaching people
to can fruit and vegetables for home use as they do in every
thrifty community, to have farmers grow their own corn,
oats, hay, peas, beans, potatoes, and some cane or sorghum
for syrup, and to produce their own meat supply from a rea
sonable industry in poultry, hogs and cattle.
Ot course this would require son’e reduction of the cotton
acreage, unless more acres were taken up; but under this
plan wo w'ould establish a live-stock Industry sufliclcnt to
utilize the waste land. On every farm there is waste land
which could be made productive with live stock.
"This is purely & business proposition, but one that has
been sadly neglected in all our Southern territory.
"The bankers have the pow^er, in my judgment, to Insti
tute a safe, sound, self-supporting agriculture in the South
f they will do it. Tho key to tho whole situation lies in
the hatuls of the bankers and credit merchants of tho South.
'If tho bankers and credit merchants of the South still
fail to lend their con.structive backing to the establishment '
of self-supporting agriculture, and are still going to make
their loans and finance tho agriculture of the South as a
one-crop agriculture, then wo are going to have a one-crop
agriciiUuro until sucii time as human nature breaks and wo
havo a revolution which will overthrow the present sys
tem.
"Can you blame the farmer, especially the little farmer
or tenant, if he lioes not follow the advice of argiculturlsts
and does not diversify, when he well knows that when he
goes to the small banker or supply merchant of tho South
tho basis of his credit Is tixed on tho number of acres of the
one ca.sh-crop th.it he Is going to produce?
