Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens of thousands of farmers as well as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How we're these burdensome store bills
cut down? By the real money-saving
power of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.
Hastings 1916 Seed Catalogue tells how
to cut store bills down; tells about gar
den and farm seeds of kinds and a quail
ity that cannot be bought from your mer-
chant or druggist. It's full of garden and
farm information. It's free if you ask
for"it. Write for it now. H. G.. HASTINGS

MUST QUIT EATING
CROP BEFORE MADE
South Must Stop Time-Honorsd Sys-
tenn Of Economic Suicice,
Says n. G. Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special. )-"TEe peo-
pie of the south must quit eating their
cotton or other so-called cash crop
before it is made if they yer expect
to accumulate wealth and have the
comforts and Injuries of life due
them," says H. G. Hastings, agricul-
tural vice president of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, and a fore
most authority on farm conditions in
the southeast.
THE south must stop forever its
time-honored system of economic sui
cide,"' says Mr.. Hastings. advance
steps were made last year toward a
condition Of farm independence in the
Cotton Belt. They were forced steps,
it is true, but they marked an advance
just the same, and more bread and
meat, more grain, forage and other
food and feed stuffS we're made in
1915 than ever before, with the result
there are tens of thousands Of farm
ers better off than in past years,
despite short crops and business de-
preston.
with higher cotton prices, it is
going to be a great temptation to
drop back into the old habit Of put
ting cotton, or whatever other cash
crop one may be growing, in pawn
for bread and meat. We are suffer-
ing today from the old system fore
ed on us by CO. ditions following the
Civil war, necessary then, but unnec-
eSSary now.
Year after year We have stayed in
the same old rut as a matter Of habit,
eating crops, so to speak, before
they were made, a financially suicidal
policy for the farmer, each year put
ting his nose a little closer to the
credit grindstone.
IF the south had not been so rich
in natural resources, this system
would have bankrupted us long ago.
What's the answer? 1t is home pro-
duction by each farmer Of every dol
lars worth of food and grain supplies
needed on his farm that it is posi-
BILE to grow on his W acres. This
means good big home gardens; hogs,
chickens, COWS and something to feed
them on through the year."

First.-There is little or no loss Of
skimmil!1. which Of course has a high

Second.-There is less danger Of in
PRODUCING such contagious diseases as
tuberculosis into the herd if the milk
is skinned at home and only the milk
produced upon the farm is fed.
Third.-Time is saved by not hauling
