Gold Standard Is
* A Curse To World
Mr. Elliott Writes On Karniing.
Crops, Soil Anrt Money Stan
dard Of World.
'By Janies C. Elliott.'
Cleveland is an average Pied
mont county adapted by climatic
conditions, soil fertility to corn,
cotton, tobacco, the small grain
crops, clover, gras es and legumes
with a great variety ot^ vegetables
and fruits, well adapted to live
stock raising, dairying, pool’ey
raising, and bee culture Bees are
essential to fruit growing. With so
great a variety of products, a fail
ure is scarcely possible
First, tall and Winter. growing
crops are least expensive and
should cover most of the arable
lands for soil Improvement Not
more than one fourth of lend
should be in clean culture crops
Winter crops improve the soil, sum
mer crops clean culture crop'', ex
haust the soil and are costly in la
bor and commercial fertilizers. Rye
and barley may be pastured in fall
winter, and early spring—but not
when the land Is wet. Sorghum is
wet. Sorghum, early corn and soy
beans should provide summer feed,
fed green to all live stock, especial
ly milk cows. Most so-called pas
tures are only fit for stock to ex
ercise In.
Successful farming requires the
conservation of natural resources.
There is more in the man than in
the land. Success depends on the
energy and intelligence of the
farmer. He can have such varie
ties as he wants but he must im
prove the fertility of his land.
Tliere Is no profit on poor land.;
Land tenure is of short duration
from generation to generation, ;
Land is the foundation of life. All |
the people have an interest right
in the land, to see that it is im
proved and not abused, but made
better for those that follow with
increasing populations.
Farming, for a good living is j
sure. Every lick counts. Depending!
on cash crops is a gamble that feel-!
dotn pays. Me ny products may be!
turned to cash. When one fails to
pay, find something that will pay
[money and markets fix prices. Un
der this world depression all pro
ducts are affected alike by the
! single gold standard making the
poor poorer and the rich richer.
Only the few that control the
gold, fix prices and change values.
The gold standard has bank
rupted the world. There is not gold
enough to pay one dollar on the
thousand of indebtedness. The
remedy Is In silver with more and
cheaper money to pay taxes and
debts. If such relief does not come
| soon revolution and repudiation ot
all debts public and private will
result. All the wealth and conven
iences are here. All needed is fin
ancial adjustment to relieve the
ombaraasing situation. Cause and
effect, supply and demand regu
late all things. And providence
helps those that help themselves,
As we sow, so we reap. When we
go wrong we punish ourselves.
