Funds For Campaign
Money Needed to Garry on Fight
for Cotton Farmers

The prosperity and success Of the
South depends upon the success OF
the farmer. Hard times for him
mean hard times for all.
Today the commercial life Of the
South is most seriously threatened.
The very foundation of our main
hope for good business and legitimate
gain is in peril.
There is remedy. We must ap-
ply it.
Cotton must be produced only to
meet the requirements OF world con-
sumption. Less acreage must be
planted and more food and feed
crops produced.
Cotton farmers from Virginia to
Texas realize the absolute necessity
of this as never before. The people
Ct the cotton states have accordingly
come together and are today engaged
upon the biggest piece Of work ever
undertaken by any people. What 1t
means to you and to every business
interest in the South cannot be estl-
mated. We can no longer produce
cotton recklessly as heretofore: the
cost is too great for the farmer. for
the merchant, for the banker, in
fact for every one.
The farmers of the whole South
are gong to cut acreage, and are go
ing to stick. They are going to
plant one-third less cotton this year
than last, and are going to use less
fertilizer on cotton and more on food
and feed crops.
Organized, united, concerted effort,
properly directed, throughout the cot
ton States, will bring it about. In this
fight for the first time all the various
business interests of the South have
united with the farmer.
We need your financial assistance.
May we ask for a liberal contribu-
ton from you personally and from
each business, bank, corporation, or
mill in which you are interested.
The call is urgent The cause is
worthy. Time is short. Quick &C
ton is essential.
Your State committee is spending
money rapidly but judiciously, for
! haste is vital.
Make your checks payable to Julien
c.. Rogers, Assistant Treasurer Tor
suc!. amounts as are in keeping with
your interest and the importance OF
your business.
Every farmer signing the reduc-
ton pledge-and all will sign-is ex'
pected to pay ten cents per acre toi
each acre of cotton he will plant.
Here is your opportunity to HELP
the farmer, and through helping him
to help yourself.
We hope to receive your remit
tance by return mail.
Thanking you in advance, we are
yours for 35 cents cotton, one
third reduction in acreage. and the
commercial independence OF the
South.

Tom Sparrow, of CASTOR County
N. c. Il have been feeding my
hogs perfectly good high priced
corn, with just a little accidental
parture occasionally, until this
year when County Agent J. B.
Steele got me to try a field of soy
beans and corn, and put a tenn.
orary fence around it so that the
hogs could help themselves, |
like this plan so well that | am
going to double my herd of
Berkshires, and use soy beans
for the fall and winter feed. ard
other grazing crops the rest of
the year, In this way | get both
a crop of corn and a crop of hogs.
The SOY bean vines and keeping
the hogs also greatly improve
the land. This is'about the only
way hat know that a man can

A new JEWEL.

No home is complete without
the presence Of a child. No
heart is lonely that is full of
father and mother love. To

mortals. This pleasure has just
fallen to the lot of Mr.. and Mrs.
