The time has come for US to make ar
rangements for next summer, and |
would like very much for those who know
they will need cans to provide them
selves at once from those on hand.
These cans are cheaper than they can
possibly be bought now, so all who can.
do SO should get them at once and take
advantage of present prices. Quite a
few still have canned products to sell,
and at this time the State Marketing
committee is putting forth every effort
to get the 100000 filled cans that are
now in Mississippi sold to the canton

sible. If there are any who are not
willing to sell their products at this
time. please advise me, so | will not Of

One ton of manure per acre will,

on an average, increase the yield
of seed cotton S8 pounds according
to the South Carolina Experiment
Station. With seed cotton at 10
cents a pound, this makes So. 80.
Most farmers will not, of course,
have enough manure for all their
land, but every pound of what
they have should be put on the
fields. Pick out the poorer spots
and give them a dressing. Rake
everything around the lot and
clean out the stables. Manure can
be put out any time this winter.
1t will be all right, whether you
can cover it or not, unless the land
be very rolling and subject to
washing. Progressive Farmer.

finished and Germany is watching

The facts are that the money
which is being subscribed to this
Eoan has already been contracted
and actually spent by the Govern
ment. Furthermore our Govern
ment has enormous outstanding oh
legations yet to be met, and unless
every unit in the Loan organization
