Never la tue history of the Soatfe fees It been of greeter importance (net the termers of the South enter the new year with a determlnatlen to ap ply safe, well established principles of business to thslr farm manage ment, says W. C. Lassatter, acting di rector of the Rkteaston Division ef the University of Arkansas and U. S. De partment of Agriculture. With the unusual high prices prevailing for corn, oats, hay, flour, meat, lard, butter, eggs, potatoes and all other products no cotton farmer can afford to buy any of them, evpn with cotton at 20c, when they can Just as well be produced at home. This era of high prices for all food and feed products makes it imperative that every farmer enter the new year of 1917 with the determination to grow at home everything possible that is to bo consumed on tho place. Cotton, too, is now bringing a high price, but what assurances have we that tha price will be high in the fall of 1917? The man who this spring plants his entire farm to cotton with the expectation of high prices in the fall is gambling just as surely as is the man who deals in cotton futures. Every man should be determined to start the new year right with the de termination to avoid gambling on 1917 prices. Cotton when produced must be held or sold and cannot be con sumed. These other food and feed prod ucts needed on every farm must be consUmedand it matterslittlehowhigh the price* go so long as every farmer has produced an abundance of these products for his own use. The Successful Farmer Must Apply Business Principles It is imperative ttiat the farmer make of himself Just as successful a bojtnms amn as his neighbor in town who sells him the goods and deals In hie product^. Ho should bear in mind thereto*# the following facts with ref Masse to good business: rn(Kj)i ortK* trout a business are la ^rMnEa by reducing the cost of ope rating the business and by increasing the cash tcroin- from the business. Producing at home the corn, sats, hay and ofher feed •tuffs, the meat, lard, milk, butter, eggs and veg» table* needed on the place very materially reduces the cost of making the cotton crop. These things, therefor?, enable the farmer to secure greater profit a from his cot ton production. To increase the cash Income on the cotton rarm it will be necessary to provide other sources of cash Income and not depend on cot ton by Itself. Live stock, and all live stock priducts are now unusually high, and these offer a splendid field for the progressive farmer. That this fact is recognized by farmers in Ar kansas is evidenced by the fact that over 1,500 head of breeding cattle, mostly registered, have been introduc ed into Arkansas in the last ten months. Cattle, hogs, poultry, mules and horses offer good sources of in come for the cotton farmer who will use them as a side line to his busi ness of cotton farming. New Year’6 Resolutions For Arkansas Farmers.
