The following is an extract from an address delivered at Greenville,
Miss., in the boll weevil territory, by Dr. S. A. Knapp, a man who did
more for real genuine progress in the South than any other one man has
ever done. "The farmer who uses modern machinery in planting and
cultivating his crop will succeed, and the one who does not will make a
failure. The old way of making a crop by hand by the use of the hoe and
plow must soon be a thing of the past. We must come to use the modern
implements and the sooner we let the negro understand that he must work
his crop in this way, the better off we shall be."
