hereby resolve to grow sufficient
corn 10 do me twelve months.
| hereby resolve to grow sufficient
oats TO last twelve months
| hereby resolve to grow sufficient
hay 10 provide amply for my stock for
twelve months.
hereby resolve TO provide a gar
den that will furnish fresh vegetables
twelve months in the year.
hereby resolve to keep sufficient
live stock to furnish milk and butter
and meat and lard for the family.
hereby resolve to keep sufficient
poultry 10 furnish chickens and eggs
for the family and perhaps a few to
sell
Above all hereby resolve TO so
manage my farm this year that at
least portion of il Will be richer next
year than it is this,
With this creed borne in mind any
good cotton grower can feel safe in
putting the remainder of his land into
cotton because the cost o. production
will be less and the profits greater.
Play safe and start the new year
with that system OF farm management
that viii always insure living re.
