Reduction of Cotton Acreage.
KeltOn, S. c.. Feb. -.

SSohs ". W, rcOs IL.
Mr.. Editor: If permitted through
your kindness I will write a few
lines in reference to the reduction of
cotton acreage and express myself
upon the same. If it will be con-
certed action all over the cotton belt
no living mortal can doubt the good
that might be accomplished in the
price OF the fleecy staple, but that
in my judgment will continue to be
a hard proposition to solve as the
farmers are SO differently condi.
toned. There is a large portion of
the cotton belt that doesn't REQUIRE
much fertilizer if any to produce a
good crop, making it as easy for
them to raise cotton at 8 or 9 cents
as for a great many to raise it for IL
or IL cents, so we see there is one
strong point against united action.
Then there are other points equally
as strong, one of which is the poor
white, farmer and the: negro, of
which there are large numbers of
them renting the farms, paying
from two to three bales of cotton to
the plow, using fertilizer to make
their crops, 80 he finds himself in
such a condition he is compelled to
make all the cotton he can. If the
reader will allow personal reference
l moved two negroes on my farms
to work on shares this year. Hav-
ing nothing was forced to let them
have money to buy something to eat
and wear before they did q lick of
work. Fortunately for me let one
60. But must see that the others
plant fair crop or else-well, the
reader understands the situation.
Now let me say right here that 1 do
not mean that we should raise all
cotton and no corn, far from it, but
we must it we. ever expect to get
along raise all the corn and other
supplies on the farm regardless of
what the price Of cotton may be-
and all that doesn't adhere to this
rule must eventually suffer soon or
late.
Now as all are familiar with the
Anderson or Rock Hill plan, as /
stated at the beginning, it is all
right provided it is a profound
united action. But l just wish to
say right here that the people living
up here in the poor gully mountain
section, hardly in the cotton belt
nOhow, we never make much at the
best. l say let the battle be pitched
in the lower part of the belt where
now, If reports are true, they still
have thousands of bales yet in the
field, there is the place to WORK for
reduction. But for that those of us
that sold last fall might have gotten
more for ours. If they cannot gather
it it is folly to raise it. We in this
poor section never have any to rot
in the bale, 90 I believe that those
who have lost 80 much by not hav-
ing 1t gathered will consider these
circumstances and conditions and
not undertake to raise 80 much moro
than they can gather. l believe
that ii there was not anything said
about reduction that it will work
just as we'll I am little afraid OF
that plan for fear that all will think
pphably there might be o. decrease
and all make" their rows 9 little
longer hoping TO be profted thereby.

Gray Hair Is
Not Compulsory

1t is almost pathetic when a wOmans
hair begins to fade and she realizes that
it is turning gray. And yet there Is no
one to blame but herself for negleCting
it, for the hair responds very quickly to
the proper care and treatment. The
hair turns gray because 1t has lost vi
tally, and when you pull out the first
few white hairs as they appear you
simply enlarge the cells and coarsen
your hair, and it will turn gray more
quickly than if left alone.
For many years we have handled all
Of the good hair preparations, and we
believe there is nothing better to be had
anywhere than our Robinnaires Hair
Dye. 1t is not the ordinary vulgar
bleach or artificial coloring. We should
have named It a Restorative, because il
simply restores your hair to its own
original color and beautiful. healthy
condition, and there is no reason why
you should hesitate to use it if your
hair is fading and losing its color.
1t is our own laboratory product and
we guarantee it to be pure and harm
less. 1t has been in use for over quar-
ter of a century, and we have yet to
receive the first complaint, but we can
show you hundreds of letters, unsolic-
tied telling of the wonderful results
obtained from it.
No woman need have gray hair unde-
sired if she will give a little time and
care to it's treatment The hair always
responds quickly. Robinnaire's Hair Dye
is easily applied, and 1t is non sticky
and does not stain either skin or scalp
If you want to see what it will do. get a

pleased with it. Regular large size,
