Federal Land Bank of Houston |
Business is governed and con-
trolled by credit and money. Cred-
it is maintained solely by the abil-
ity of the people to eventually pay
money. Wealth can only be creat-
ed by mining, manufacturing, fish-
ing and agriculture.v Business
I; IS AFFECTED
AWAYASWASSWAWA’
The pocket book of every owner
of forest, or cut over land in the
channels accumulate wealth but do
not create it.
While the oil interests and oth-
[ er mining industries contribute to
our wealth, and manufacturing
and fishing will always be of im-
portance, yet agriculture is, and
will forever be, the main source
of wealth in this State. It will
be the only source through which
will come the comforts and neces-
sities of life. Agriculture will for-
ever remain the chief factor in
credit and money throughout this
nation.
A graph, showing the crop per
acre and the business failures over
the period of years from-1866 to
1922, shows that the per cent bus-
iness failures rise and fall in direct
ration to the rise and fall of acre
money returns from farm land.
The average net money returns
per acre of land is in direct ratio
to the acre yield. The farmer’s
ability to pay for land, and to live
in comfort, and to prepare his chil-
dren for the battles of life is in di-
rect ratio to his labor income on
the farm.
The business man’s ability to
succeed is dependent upon the
farmer’s ability to buy his goods.
The farmer’s ability to produce
sufficient revenue to keep his fam-
ily in comfort is dependent upon
soil fertility. Where there are fer-
tile soils we find a contented and
prosperous farm folk and prosper-
ous business centers.
The first step in permanent soil
fertility is conservation of the soil.

View regarding laud and
consequent market value.
Whether he intends to keep that
land, or whether he intends to sell
it, his purse is involved.
If he keeps it and it is worth
no more ten years from now than
it is today he loses the cost of up-
keep. If he determines to sell it
but cannot establish a value be-
cause of unproductivity, he loses
again.
1 The only salable things in this'
world are things which are consid-
ered of value by prospective buy-
ers, and everybody knows that cut-
over land, today is not so consid-
ered.
There is only one possible “out”
for owners of cut over land, and
that is to start a growth of timber
on it. A stand of young timber
on your tract of land will render
it, in a very few yaers, valuable j
in the eyes of investors.

This must be done by terracing
rolling lands and draining swampy
lands. After land is terraced, or
drained, the next step is to prac-
tice systematic crop rotation, and
add barnyard manure and commer-
cial fertilizer to improve the phys-
ical condition of the soil and to’
add plant food.
The problem of soil conservation
a joint {responsibility of the
farmer and the business man. The
welfare of both depend upon it.
The individual farmer cannot es-
cape the responsibility because his
and his family’s welfare depends
upon the ability of his farm to
produce abundantly. The busi-
ness man cannot escape the re-
sponsibility because the success of
his business depends upon the ef-
ficiency of the group of farmers
comprising his trade territory.
The greater the bond of sympa-
thy and cooperation that exists
between the farmer and the busi-
ness man, the greater will be the
success of both.
