We are all at a danger pofIis. On

1918 farm and garden operations de-
ponds prosperity or our going broke"
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly ell Gotten, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit and make
money. Food and grain Is higher In
proportion than are present cotton
prices.
It's time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your own
acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay nearly half your living. 1t
will save you more money than you
made on tho best three acres OF cotton
you ever grew!
