PLANT LESS AND MAKE MORE
Southern Farmer VIII Never Get out
Of Financial Troubles Until Ware
house System Is Used.

Old Rapides. Louisiana, Is coming to
the front as far as hog and hominy Is
concerned. Corn is fine, peas, cane
and potatoes are on an average, but
cotton Is knocked out by the boil
weevil. expect to quit the cotton
business as long as bool weevils are
SO interested In 1t. spent 40 years
raising 1t for the bale-weevil. and
darned II l spend old age making 1t
for the lesser evil, called the boil
weevil. writes E. P. Bruce Of Louis
lana in Co-Operator. have already
done what every cotton planter should
do. sowed oats on my cotton land for
winter pasture and to be cut next
June for feed crop for next year. l
also expect to sow ten acres in rye
for the same purpose. So, you see.
I'll try and raise something to eat
and TO feed my stock on, which will
be worth more than cotton as long
as provisions are SO high.
The farmer should be ths last one
to grumble at high prices of farm
products. as he should be in the mar
ket to sell instead Of to buy. ex.
pect to break all OF my land good

and cultivate and thereby try the

tanning Is concerned, but will put my.
self to but little trouble to make more

er will work from Monday morning
until Saturday night trying to make
a dollar, without ever stopping To
think about some plan to save It?
We should make arrangements to
save what we make before making 1t;

er fellow has half Of 1t. Well never
get out Of our present financial trou'
bles until we make an intelligent use
OF our warehouse system. This can
only be done by storing all Of our
non-perishable products and using re-
ceipts for two-thirds of their value
and let these circulatae as q medium
OF exchange to transact our bust
ness until the consumer needs the
products. then we can redeem sale
checks. The man who will work t
