As To Advertislnqe

John WanamakeF says of ad-
vertising: "4f there is one enter
prise on earth that a 'Quitter'
should leave alone, it is adver
tising. To make success of adj
vertising one must he prepared to
stick like a barnacle on boats
bottom. He should know before
he begins it that he must spend
money. Somebody must tell HIN,
also, that he cannot hope to reap
results commensurate with his

COTTON PLAN
 IS NOT 50 LARGE
Official of Fertilizer Company
 Discusses Conditions
ALL CLASSES REGISTERED
Decrease In Cotton Acreage Naturally Means Decrease In Sale of Fertil- izers, But Local Concern Pro-
 duces the Usual Tonnage.

A decreased output in fertilizers for the south, consequent upon a smaller cotton crop planted this year, is the view of M. L. Hanahan, secretary and treasurer of recently discussed the outlook for the season.
 '"rhere is scarcely any doubt that there will be a smaller consumption of fertil- izers this season than last" said MT. Hanahan, flor the reports that are com ing in from all sections of our territory Alabama, southwest Georgia and south ern Mississippi, indicate decrease in cot ton acreage, and this means a decrease in the purchase of fertilizers.
 "There are a good many reasons why this should be, and first and foremost is that banker sand merchants are drawing a somewhat tighter reign on the farmers and are not disposed to advance money so readily for putting in the crop as they have been doing for the past three years.
 Big Crops.
 Ever since the time that Daniel Sully forced the price of cotton up to 15 and 16 cents the farmers have figuratively taken the bit in their teeth, even if the bottom did drop out of the market that year, and not needing the injunctions of the southern cotton leaders, have planted big crops, and fortunately for them the de- mand has also grown and prices have held LID well. The cotton planters have prospered, therefore, and to certain ex- tent have grown a little extravagant, laying in big crops, buying organs. pianos, buggies and mules until in many sections they have gone far beyond their resources.
 "These conditions do not suit the bank CTS and merchants who have to put up the money, hence the drawstring on the money bag is little tighter this season and the farmer will be more moderate in the purchase both of fertilizers and other farm supplies
 Mind you, this is not theory I am giving you, but cold, hard facts that have come to me from regular sources, and I believe that I am correctly informed by my correspondents, who are closely in touch with the class of men who put up the money for the farmer.
 Merchants, bankers and farmers have all prospered alike during the past three 1 years, while cotton has commanded an
