THREE SOUTHERN PLANTERS.
Frank Johnson of the flat region of South Car-
olina raises six hundred hales of cotton annually
on as many acres. He employs an expert to di-
rect his negro laborers and “dopes” his land with
$25 worth of commercial fertilizer to the acre.
When cotton fetches 12 cents a pound, he makes
a “killing”; when the price drops to 7 cents, he

MIND AS AN ASSET.
Standard economists account for wealth as the
creation of combinations of land, labor and capital.
Some representatives of labor claim that labor
produces all. and demand all as its reward. Labor
extremists and social reformers of various sorts
would allow nothing for capital’s share or for
lend. Many capitalists demand and take to them-
felves grossly unjust shares of the joint produc-
tion.
None of these representatives of conflicting
interests make due allowance for mind as a fourth
element in production and profit.
The 2400 per cent dividend declared by the
Ford Motor Company strikingly raises the ques-
tion of the place of mind in all economics.
In the balance-sheet of the Ford Company
there appears no entry of the item "Henry Ford.”
Among the assets—plant, real estate investments,
current accounts, cash—there is no entry of mind.
Nowhere in the statement, supposed to be com-
plete, is there even any hint of one man’s mind as
a source of this 2400 per cent profit.
Is the creation of the Ford Company due more
largely to land, or labor, or capital, or mind?
It was not created by capital, for it provided
its own capital as it went along. Land was used.]
but it was paid for out of the operation of the con-
cern. The labor also was paid generously, even
extravagantly, on any basis of economic computa-
tion. Thus land, labor and capital, all provided
out of the concern’s processes, are eliminated from
the search for what has been called the “miracle"
of the Ford success.
Is it not necessary to believe that the mind of
Henry Ford was the chief factor in the creation
vf this success?
The case is worth this much attention, because
it is typical of hundreds and thousands of other
cases. Capital often denies it and labor generally
disputes it, but the fact remains that the elusive,
immeasurable element in any enterprise is the
mind which conceives, creates and manages.
goes broke. Jim Brown, another cotton grower,
lives on a rented farm, knows little, and has little
except leisure. He raises a scanty crop on sup-
plies advanced by a lien merchant. In a good year
be “pays out” and has a little money for Christ-
mas. In a bad year he has what the lien merchant
does not take. The non-resident landlord has a
first lien for rent cotton, and, as a rule, gets it.
Rut no lien merchant or non-resident landlord pes-
ters James Sheppard, who lives up in the hill
country. Sheppard had forty-five bales of the
1913 crop when the war news reached him last
August, and fifty more in the field to pick. “I re-
fused 13 1-2 cents for my old cotton last July,"
he said, “but I'm not going to worry much. I
guess I’ll hold both crops till the price goes up
again. I don’t owe the bank anything, and 1 have
plenty of corn, potatoes, fodder, hogs and poultry."
The group Sheppard represents, which is very
small, reduced their cotton crops this year be-
cause common sense dictated it; the Frank John-
son class did so because their hank and fertilizer
c redit was restricted, and the poor class of ten-
ants because lien credit was skimpier. The gen-
i ral reduction throughout the South is about 15
per cent. Southern farmers, knowing cotton to
be their most profitable crop, will continue to
raise it; but they are learning that one-crop pro-
duction means idleness of livestock, labor and
land about half the year, which overhead charges
must be paid on the whole outfit. They are be-
ginning to understand, too, that while they can-
not compete on a very large scale with the wheat
growers of Minnesota, wheat raised as a by-pro-
duct is nearly all profit. Diversified farming calls
for diversified information, and that is something
ignorant people can’t buy, even from a lien mer-
chant. Climate, soil and all other resources in the
South, as in the North, the East, and the West,
are diversified, but resourcefulness is not. Di-
versify knowledge and the crops will diversify
themselves.—Collier’s.

Lamar county farmers are urging the com-
missioners’ court to establish a meat-curing
plant in connection with the municipal ab-

ing. If the plan materializes the Lamar farm-

The Fannin County Short Course of
Agriculture was opened yesterday
morning at the High Sehool building,
he weather not being propitious fo>
(he undertaking to bo staged at Simp
ion Turk, us was the original inten-
tion.
Hie program yesterday morning
v.hs started by E. Gentry, who out-
lined the co-operativo work being car-
ried on by the Department of Agri
■’ulture in Washington City und the
Agricultural and Mechanical College,
at College Station, Texas.
A. W. Kinnard followed Mr. Gentry,
handling the subject of dairying.
From 1:30 to 3 p. m. the Judging of
in rses und mules, by It. E- Culdwell,
:ook placo. It wus conducted out in
front of the High School building.
From 3 to 4:30 p. m. A. W. Kinnard
lectured on the building up of a dairy
herd. About filty people heard this
interesting lecture. Mr. Kinnard dem-
onstrated how eusy it was to build up
u fine duiry herd by using correct
breeding methods.
While Mr. Kinnard had the atten-
tion of the men with his dairy herd
talk, a most interesting lecture was
going on in one of the liasement
rooms, which was accompanied by
actual demonstrations. Miss Bernice
Carter was telling an audience of
Bonham ladies just how to nlukc jolly
She demonstrated that jelly is an ab-
solute science, und that our old hit-or
i iiss methods could he done uwny
with. She had methods for ascertain-
ing just when the fruit juice would
jell, and they were simplicity itself
The Favorite cannot let the oppo ■
tunlty puss to say something good of
(he lectures. Undoubtedly there is
something to them. The government
at Washington is not composed of a
1 uneh of simpletons. Scientists have
charge of all this work—chemists who
know what causes will produce cer-
tain effects. And it is a mistake to
chink that chemistry has no part or
parcel in culinary work. Without
(hemical action there could be no
light-bread; we could have no granu
luted candies, such as fudge, and
v. it bout the nid of this most valuable
science not a can of beans could I«
put up or an ounce of jelly made. So
if those folks have studied these
tilings out, anil the National Govern
ment sees fit to tend lecturers to
demonstrate, we think it the part of
wisdom for our people to go and get
the benefit of the knowledge these
lecturers have gleaned by hard study
nnd close application.
Nobody is taking any more inter-
est in the meeting than A. S. Van
Kirk. It may he argued that it is
part of his job. So it is; and we
want to pay him the compliment that
lie is attending to it.
