need next year, or to buy them. How much money can a farmer make if he has to buy his living at tkese prices after the crop is gathered? How much money can he make by producing his own food and feed supplies at these prices? It is a plain business proposition, and no good farmer can take chances on buying his living at these prices out of 15- ceat cotton or any other cash crop. To be on the safe side we must raise our own living at home next year. Do not be de- ceiyed. These are not prosper ous times but perilous times, for the farmers. If the price of cotton goes below 15 cents next fall and the price of food and feed products remain as at pres ent, the farmers cannot hope to get supplies on a credit to make a crop the following season.. The merchants can't afford to sell goods at such prices to make 10 or 12-cent cotton. Friends take heed while you may.
