PLAN THE TRACTORS
WORK AHEAD

Before buying a tractor, analyze
your farm work and the work trac-
tor will do. You must decide wheth-
er or not you can plan your work so
as to keep the tarctor busy. Spend
less time in working and more time
in planning.
The tractor will never entirely re-
place horses, but it will to large ex-
tent take over the heavy work OF
tillage. The tractor has an advan-
tage over the horse in that it is not
affected by the heat. can be used for
deep tillage, eliminates great many
friedman troubles, will work day and
night, and be used all the year round,
But the tractor requires care just
as does an animal. Some persons
overload their work animals, and do
the same when they begin operating
tractor If you say anything to
them about it, they say, "Oh it's a
machine What difference does it
make?" Then some day, the tractor
will give down when most needed and
the manufactures is to blame, of
course!
The tractor is suited for all kinds
of heavy belt work and can also be
used for haulding grain or other
heavy produce to a shipping point or
some market direct, as well as for
hauling fertilizers, lime, etc, to the
farm. A source of power for pulling
a grader or ditcher, the tractor can't
be beaten.
A farmer can find many uses for
tractor that will utilize the power
the year round. This IS what makes
the investment profitable The Pro

IF YOU ADVERTISE, THEN
ANSWER INQUIRIES PROMPTLY

1t is the plain duty Of an advertiser
to answer every reasonable inquiry.
AS Mr.. E. E. McGehee puts its: Il
would Just as soon invite man to
visit me, then meet him at the gate
and decline to entertain him, as to
fail to answer an inquiry to an ad-
vertisement."
The man who writes to an adver-
tiser and gets no reply is likely to feel
that he is treated discourteously, and
it is pretty certain that he will not
write again. He has an especial
right to feel aggrieved if he is delay
ed in purchasing seed, stock, eggs, or
tools covering the loss of time and
money! through an advertisers de-
lay or neglect in replying. On the
other hand, the would-be customer
you answer promptly and courteous
ly, even if you have sold out, will be
likely to remember you when you ad-
vertise next time.
Acknowledge quickly every inquiry
even if it.only be postal card. Bet
ter write ten words on time than q
thousand words too late.-The Pro-
gressive Farmer.

Cotton Values and Prices

There can be no doubt that the present price OF cotoh
Is; too low considering the demands which will be made
for the staple at the close of the war
Even at present to supply the needs of the world
exclusive of Germany and her allies, can see need
at good price, for every pound that has been made
When we add to this the demand which, the now
isolated countries will make Immediately at the end OF
4be we can see use all cotton made at 40 cents
Der pound and even so cents would not be high as com
pared with other prices and values.
When the war ends, millions of men now IN uniform
will return to civic garb and to furnish all these clothes
win take up vast quantities of cotton.
There seems to be doubt that war conditions and
great scarcity of labor will still prevail far as raising
the next crop concerned for in order to fill the store
rooms and kitchens of the world with even normal sup
ply of food larger food crops will have to be raised
The mills have not been taking the supply of raw
cotton which they will need under present conditions
and any change would mean that they would require
larger stock
Henry Grady replied to inquiry as to cotton
prices: Cotton? Why cotton is fool" But ne simply
meant that men who gamble cotton prices are fools
We wish to right here, however, hatthe farmer
who makes cotton his surplus crop and markets it de-
Iiberately, is a wise vase
There certainly be need at the present moment
for rushing all your cotton into the market
For more than three years the world has been using
up the outofdate and surplus stocks of cotton goods
and there will at some time in the future be much
stronger demand for cotton that there is today
