Mr. Whitlock'3 Crop.

Mr. Whitlock, of Jonosvillc township,
while making n splendid showing this week
of his good crop, appears inclined to doubt
the correctness of Mr.. Wix's calculation of
profits, and hrings figures to compare results
with him.
I'VE repeat, Mr.. Whiuock makes u fine
showing of so bales of cotton and 1922 profit
on 3-horsc farm, after deducting all cx-
pcnscs: but it must not be forgotten that
Mr.. Wix made jj bales of cotton-25 more
than Mr.. Whitlock, which at the average
price obtained by the latter, amounted to
Sl,o7S - more.
We do not understand Mr.. Whitlock ms
doubling Mr.. Wix's statement, but that he
wants the items Of expense incurred to make
the crop, which, We hope Mr.. Wix will give
There is one thing very patent in both
Mr.. Whitlocks and Mr.. Wix's showing
They each made and saved more on the
farm than any man with even a small family
can on Il $500 salary in any town. And We
say further. the owners Of the farms and
stock made more, from the amount Of capital
invested. than they could in any other bust
ncss prnviu;, vhnt We have always believed.
