think ov farmin in this seckshun
ov kountry. The farmers IL lay
In Their plans fer ekstensiv plant
IN, an Their wives ar beginnin tew
think ov intensiv ga dnin about
the premises. Ov the two l think
Their wimmin il got the most sence,
but these ole billy cote farm rs
is gwine tew hav ther way, er bust.
Let EN- have it; an tew suite Their
notion. I'll Civ EN- a leetle adj
wise. Advise il cheap, an don't
cost ennything tew Civ it.
In the fust place, don't bother
with yer fensis. It's too much
trubble, an yer kant git ther AT
ricans ter split rales in Their winter
time, an yer ar shure not ter do it
yerselves. Pollyticks hav bin
too thick this winter fer emmy man
ter fix up his farm, nohow. Let
yer fensis 60. Thay ar good
enuff ter keap out onest katie, an
ct yer naibors has got emmy
obstropolis bulls, or bores, or
rams that will jump a onest in
terposishun ov rails, why, then,
make q stock law ov yer own. I'm
exposed to lowin stock ter run out,
eksept my own, an L am a mo
Tense" man-speshRlly roun my
own primises. Let yer tense go,
an shoot Their intrudin katie ov
other peepul. This will bring
good feelins throughout Their mai
borhood, an everybody'll feal good,
an saiv ekspenses.
Then az ter Their plantin ov yer
krops. Try an plant all Their Ian
yer kan. Talk in all yer ole
fields, an rent az much az possy-
bill frum yer naibors, an then ten
ant as much az possybil ter Their
niggers Let EN- hav all yer
mules an korn, an lay in q big
stock ov bacon an -four an gewan-
ner, Yer hsint got no kash fer it,
but yer kan git all Their kredit yer
want under a morgige at twenty
five per sent profit ter ther
Dawsing merchant It's a good
thing ter git in debt, berkase it'll
stymmylate yer ter make ends meat
in the faul ov the year, an kun
out even with Their niggers an
Their merchants: speshally if we
hsv the usual drouth. Besides
its interestin ter have a stirrin
bizness fer the bennyfit ov our
lawyers. merchants and kullered
popylashun. The farmers ov this
kountry ar Their noblest and most
onselfsh peepdl ov Their wurld.
Thay wurk fur Their intrust ov ev-
erybody else but themselves. It's
o grand good thing ter liv fer
thoze round us. It's all stuff ter
liv fer ourselves an fammylys an
fer our posterrity. Let Their boys
an gals talk kair fer themselves,
er 60 ter town an find other bizzi-
ness. AS ter Their wimmin, thsy
kan liv by gardnin an raisin chick
ms. That's all thay git in these
parts, ennyhow.
Well, now az ter Their kind ov
krop yer gwine ter plant. Be
shure not ter plant emmy korn er
wheel, er oats, er Crane ov emmy
kind, ner don't raze emmy hogs, er
katie, er kolts. Thay IL too much
trubble, an yer kan by all yer
want on kredit, an Civ a NOR
gige. MAX kottin. That's Their
artikil ov Their wurld, eksept water
millions! This kountry haz groan
rich often these too artikils ov
trade in Their las tew years. Kot-
tin il King, an watermillions IL
Queen, an we farmers IL fellow
sitizens ov the Kingdum. 1t don't
kost nuthin to maik kottin, an
then yer kan. ship. watermillious
fer ndthin an git'a big price fer
EN- in Sinsinnaty, Saint Lewis an
New Yoark; that IL if yer kan git
Their start ov all thel balunce ov
Their kountry, an kan git EN- throo
in time. That's a big thing in
watermillions every year, SO ther
Atlanter Konstitooshun seq. Az
ter kotton, that alters sells high
about Their middle ov May an
June when Their bulls gifts Their
bears down; an my advise ter Their
farmers is never ter sell in Their
faul .er Their winter, eff thar IL eny
