Countrywide Produce Situation 
FARM IMPROVEMENTS ; COTTON AND AUTOS 
IN THE SOUTH ; LIVE STOCK IN FAVOR ; 
FEED PRICES TEND LOWER ; THE TROU¬ 
BLE IN THE WHEAT COUNTRY. 
In number of gas, electric light, and 
water system per thousand farms, New 
England leads according to the last cen¬ 
sus report, but the Middle West had more 
farmers’ telephones and automobiles. The 
census was taken in the height of the 
wartime boom and results might be quite 
different now, but very likely the differ¬ 
ent sections would compare about the 
same as then. The South has always 
lagged somewhat in these things, but 
here are two letters from southern coun¬ 
try bankers. One says the farmers are 
going too strongly for cotton and auto¬ 
mobiles ; the other warns farmers that 
loans for purchase of autos will not be 
encouraged. 
COTTON OR LIVE STOCK 
If all the cotton that is talked about 
now is actually raised and sold without 
breaking the market, the South will roll 
in money, but there are “ifs.” Many 
southern farmers consider cotton quite 
uncertain and are shifting partly to new 
lines, especially to cattle and poultry. 
The great drawback to cattle raising is 
the tick which causes sickness. Public 
dipping vats have changed the situation. 
At first some of them were blown up by 
farmers who objected to the compulsory 
dipping law, but others felt the conquest 
of the tick meant a fine new opening for 
southern farmers, and so it is turning 
out that farmers who have some doubt of 
the future of cotton growing until the 
boll weevil is under better control are 
building up herds as a second string to 
their bow. There is much hilly country 
and much swampy land that will support 
cattle without special cost nearly through¬ 
out the year. 
POULTRY, TOO 
With poultry, too, it would be nearly 
all profit with a flock of farm size except 
for the insect pests. A f<’w farmers have 
proved that large flocks can be made to 
pay but apparently not better than in 
the North. Climate is not everything in 
farming. The further south we go the 
more pests and the worse they are. It 
lias taken over a hundred years for our 
farmers to find out partly what to raise 
and where. Then every little while some 
bug or disease comes along and makes 
them change. 
Stock feeders should take note of the 
lower prices for feeds. Linseed meal has 
been a bargain at prices well below cot¬ 
tonseed. but feeders in Europe have taken 
hold lately and the price seems to be 
rising in response to exports. Feed has 
not been high compared to some other 
things. Northern butter makers would 
have had a fair Winter season except for 
the hay shortage and that was partly off¬ 
set by mild weather. Some talk is heard 
of substituting beef stock in place of milk 
and butter dairying in certain sections of 
the Northeast but the change makes a 
poor showing when worked out into fig¬ 
ures of probable cost and returns. 
LOW WHEAT YIELD 
As for some time past, there is more 
complaint from wheat growers than from 
any class of live stock farmers. One rea¬ 
son for the trouble in the wheat country 
is the light average yield. Whole districts 
in the Dakotas and Montana report five 
to 11 bushels per acre average, with hard¬ 
ly a district as high as 15 bushels. How 
could a farm show much profit on such 
yields even if sold at high prices per 
bushel? Across the border, Canadian 
wheat yields average much greater, be¬ 
cause the soil is fresh and the climate 
not so dry. The fact is a great deal of 
western land has been planted to grain 
that should have been left to cattle, sheep, 
and trees. Water shortage is the weak 
point. A rainfall of 20 in. is too light 
for such farming. 
THE BOOM IN CABBAGE 
About every other year cabbage goes 
out in a blaze of glory. This year some 
markets reached close to $100 per ton 
for awhile. Not many growers shared the 
rise. Most farmers who raised the long- 
keeping varieties sold the crop to the 
storage dealers. There is too much 
shrinkage in common farm storage to 
allow a profit at average Spring prices 
in producing sections. Often onions go 
skyrocketing during the same season with 
cabbage, but so far the onion season has 
disappointed holders. The price has 
gone down instead of rising. Markets 
became a little better lately but not 
much of the season is left. G. b. f.
