that they join the Farmers Union

body strong and effective. But

4. Get all the big farmers you
can and get them to sign up for as
much reduction as possible. If a

so acres less this year than last, SO
much the better for the cause. Re-
member that the pledge is for re.
duction of not lets than 25 per cent.
So all who will reduce more than
this will do the cause that much

He who has no opinion of his own,
but depends upon the opinion and taste
of others, is slave.---KLApsTocK.
Committee Takes Up Work.

To the farmers of Edgefeld county
The undersigned having beer
appointed a committee for this
county to promote and encourage
what is familiarly known to every
farmer in the state as the Rock Hill
Plan, have studied the same very
carefully and recommends its
adoption to every farmer in the
county, large or small, white and
colored, as the most practical means
Of reducing the cotton acreage and
thereby obtaining a living profit as
result of their labor.
The crop of 1910 in round num-
bers was $4,000, 900 bales, which
was sold for billion dollars. The
crop of 1911, conceded now to be
at least 15,ooo,ooo bales, will not
WELD more than $3.50, 100000 to
800, 900. We are producing
100000 more bales of cotton and
selling it for S300.oo0, 900 less.
Statistics show that the smallest
crops of cotton bring the most mon
ey. Another big crop and it,means
in our opinion, 5 cent cotton.
Not only do we recommends re-
duction in acreage. as provided for
under the Rock Hill plan, but a
corresponding reduction in feNili-
zers. 1t is useless for a farmer to
reduce his acreage, if he is soingto
increase his fertilizer and theresy
produce the same amount of cotton
What is needed is a reduction 4
es,sstton II fbe matter of fertilizer
we would recommend to every
farmer to nse his seed; as they are
worth more to him as fertilizer
than he can obtain for them on the
market, From what we can learn
manufacturers are quoting ammon-
lated fertilizers at about last years
prices and by mixing kainit and
acid with your cotton seed you can
get good fertilizer for much less
than you can buy the manufactured
goods. A cheap crop must be
made if satisfactory results are to
be expected.
Canvassers will call on you lit
tie later with pledges for your sig
nature, and when they do, meet
them cheerfully. and do not de-
tain them. Sign the pledge cheer
fully, and let them go on their
way rejoicing, as the time is short
and there Is not moment to spare.
A list of those signing the pledges
will be published from time to time.
In the county papers as they are
reported. 'The same acreage as
5a11 means FIVE cent cotton, A 25
per cent reduction for 1912 means
living prices.
