considering means Of affording re-
lief The City Attorney has been
asked to furnish a legal opinion on
the matter

Harmon C. Baker, Of Triton, Is
Able to Hold His Cotton for
Higher Prices.

, Produces His Own Stock Feed and
Sells Cattle for Necessary
Ready Money,

Triton, Sept. 2O.-What raising
feedstuffs at home will do for farm
er is well illustrated by Harmon c.
Baker, living south Of Triton, proba
bly, one of the wealthiest tillers o.
the soil in Tiff County. Mr. Baker
recently sold his 1911 and 1912 cotton
crop, getting over $1,000 for it.
The price had not been what Mr.
Baker considered his crop was worth
in the last two years. and as he was
able to hold il, he did.
He explains his success by the fact
that he raises his feedstuffs at home
Recently he sold on the local market
over 500 worth of beel Cattle-just
a little surplus that he did not care
to pasture any longer.
Mr.. Baker began as a comparatively
poor boy and has acquired land
money and the other Injuries of life
by farming well, or rather by raising
everything at home that he could.
