To Mississippian's
Plant Oats Now,

Corn is approximately one dol
lar now and there Is every reason
to believe that it will be much
higher later on. The man who
buys corn, or feed stuffs. next
year to make crop has hard
lines ahead.
Use Mississippi seed. If you
don't know where to get it, write
the State Department of Agrlcul-
ture, Jackson. Miss. There is
sufficient supply to plant "a large
area. But by all means plant
oats.
Fifteen million bales of cotton
next year will sell for five and
ruin two. thirds of the men who
raise it. Half that may bring
what it cost to produce it. Some
we'll posted men believe that
much of the present crop will
sell for near that figure.
The business men throughout
the nation are rallying to the
cause of cotton at present, help
ing to take care of a condition
that could not be foreseen, but
they will not be inclined to do so
next year, especially when the
farmers have had warning.
When cotton sold for # he cents
last. meat sold for eight cents.
sugar four and five, and -four at
$4.50 Compare present prices
of these commodities and see for
yourself, how much more ser.
ious would be five cent cotton at
this time.
Hence the call to arms. Plant
OaIs Now and IN February or
cen pounds of lespedeza Seed to
the acre over the oats. No prep
necessary other than a
season in the ground at the time.
When the oats are out the Les
pedeza will come right along
and make good grazing crop.
a hay crop, or a solling crop.
Mississippi is in fair condition
to weather this storm, and it is
up TO the people, makes no differ

price, considering the absence
Of export outlets. :.

''In appreciation of the splen-
did effort you are making in the
interest of the cotton planters
of the South, we hereby author.
ize you to buy for US five bales of

Gentlemen:-
We are very much interested
in the "buy--a--bale.- -of--cottOn"
movement, and as we believe you
are in position to render the
farmers and merchants of the
South great service, we are
writing you this letter to make
a suggestion, which, If carried
out. will unquestionably enable
yousto render a great service to
the cotton growers of the South.
We are enclosing herewith
clipping from the Montgomery
Advertiser and we believe if you
will reproduce this article, with
the suggestion from you that
your readers ask the people out
side of your state, to help in this
movement, you will get splendid
results.
For example. If the mer-
chants in county Will write to
the different houses they are
buying goods from, telling them
thst Craddock, Terry Company
had bought five or more bales in
each of the states in the cotton
belt, we believe that the manu-.
acturers and wholesale dealers
who are doing business in the
South, will respond to their re
quest by buying one or more
bales OF cotton at ten cennts pei
pound.
We believe. If yop will sugges1
TO the farmers that they write
the mail order houses, fertilizer
| manufacturers, manufacturers OF
machinery. etc., located outside
of the state, calling their atten
ltion to the fact that Craddock
Terry Company, and OF h
manufacturers outside of tht
