We still hear some talk on farm re-

ex'. and keep land values in an
airplane Here i.s an editorial from
• In Dallas Farm News, which strik *
straight from the shoulder and noth-
ing can be gained by scoffing at the
r,sested truth
The eri-ye.ar average for cotton
.'induction per acre in Texas Is 134
pounds And the cost of raising
cotton at that sort of acre yield is
about 20c. It doesn't require the sta-
ti-sticlan to tell us that we haven't
been getting lha- price. It ought not
to require higher mathematics to fi-
gure om that we are losing money
mi cur cotton, looking at It as a
nirsin* -a enterprise.
We can look at our farms and tell
without any mathematics at all. As
a speculation tn city real estate de-
velopment. owning a farm sometimes
pays. But farming n farm raicl.v
nay- as much t* ft per cen» net on
'lie cost of the laud at current prices.
Furthermore, we know that we
a rn't going to get a price for cotton
t.tat will make it. worth our while to
spend 20c a pound o ral.se it. If
•e did get such a price, substitute.-.
would choke out the marker for it
