URGES FORMING OF
 MULE COLT CLUBS
Talladega Man Tells How Millions of Dollars Might Be Kept in
 the State
he Age-IIerald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Europe is buying our live stock and mules and horses are going up in price, and Congress is trying to devise plans by which to save the southern farmer from ruin by cheap cotton. So now Is the time for the southern farmer to try to help protect himself from high priced mules and horses.
 The south can raise as good mules and horses as Kentucky or Missouri if she will. Just think of paying s25O for mule you can raise at home yourself, for s75. So let's see how many southern farmers and boys corn clubs in each county will join mule colt club and raise their own mules and keep their money they pay out for mules at home.
 If just as many as p or 30 farmers in each county will each raise mule, then buyers will come and buy these mules from you If you wish to sell. But buyers will not come in to your county unless you will raise as many as car of stock in each county to sell.
 The government cannot help you; the government can advise you and make plans for you to go by. You have just got to get the idea out of your head that the government care for you. She will in way, but you will have to learn to try and help yourself out of these diff culties. Nor can the state help you. Now. quit thinking about help from the government and state.
 The way to make money farming is to farm like these Kentucky and Missouri farmers do--raise your own stock and have surplus to sell to the other fellow that will not diversity his crop. Let's see how many in each county are willing to try and help themselves by raising their own mules and diversffying their crop Let's start d mule colt club and raise mules. horses and cattle.
 All wishing to join a mule colt club can send their name and address to The Age Herald and see k we cannot get up at least as many as 1000 or more in the state of Alabama.
 If the farmers of Alabama would raise mules. horses, cotton. hogs. wheat and corn, they would keep in the state mill lions of dollars that are sent out of 1t each year Now is the time to think and act If you don't the western farmer will get the little balance of your money you have by selling you these things OTIS COOK.
