Tick Free Cattle
Have Good Winter

The results of the dipping of cat
tie for eradication of tick is already
beginning to show up, reports E. L.
Talbot, agent in St. Martin Parish.
''This is true in more than one way"
he says. "In the first place, accord
ing to reports from the farmers them.
selves, fewer cattle died this winter
up to date than in any previous veal
This fact, in some degree at least,
can be attributed to the fact that our
cattle were in a better physical con-
dition when winter set IN: Their efore,
better prepared to withstand The
hardships which they encountered
during the months of December and
January. Again, another instance can
be given whereby the dipping may be
held as directly responsible. In the
last week only, three registered bulls
and one registered heifer were un-
loaded in the Parish of St. Martin. |
look for a big step forward in this
industry within the next few years."

Of change, that has helped to null
dply opportunities and increased
the spending size Of our pennies is
advertising.
Every merchant, every manufac-
turer knows that advertising mate
rally reduces selling costs by in
creasing the demand for and the
distribution Of the products Of
hundreds Of thousands Of mills.
Indeed many Of the things we
count today as necessities or SIM
pie luxuries could not be made
and sold at their reasonable prices
except as advertising has created
a broad market for them, making
millions Of sales at little prices and
little profits.
You owe present advertising
thorough reading. A greater ia
miiarity with advertising, with ad-
vertsers and advertised merchan-
disc makes continually for the in
creasing size Of your pennies.

Don't Put All Your Eggs In One Basket


crop This farmer started out to make ten bales OF
cotton worth S1,5oo Yet his gross income dwindled
down to $500. The Southern farmers are certainly
entitled to at least soc pound for their cotton under
present conditions, and they should get it.
Diversifcation of crops is a common sense policy
for farmer. If your cotton crop goes wrong, you
have your corn, your cattle, your hogs, or other
crops During 1919 you will make more money by
cutting your usual cotton acreage and putting more
land into feed and food crops Plant corn Feed
it to the hogs necessary The minimum base price
of SIT so per hundred pounds, Chicago basis as es-
tablished by T. S. Food Administration for hogs will
probably remain in effect several months Even
when this price restriction is removed there will be
money in hogs Europe is short of fats, and it will
be long while before pork gets so cheap as to be
improbable to the raiser. Europe needs food Eu-
rope is not in position to raise big crop in 1919, or
even next year. America must help feed her. Plant
some Of your land in feedstufs and foodstufs then
you will be helping to both feed and cohe the world
and make reasonable profit for yourself

Hold the Cotton You Now Have On Hand

plies of cotton American stocks will be the only
available source of supply. Cotton will never again
go down to it's old levels And it never should be-
cause the South will not back to the conditions OF
economic slavery that has existed for generations
It's young men and women will leave the farm and
go to the city unless farm life is made attractive
enough to hold them. This will not happen unless
the laborer is paid the hire he is worthy OF. Hold
your cotton The banks and merchants can easily
finance it. There is more money in Southern banks
than ever before. Do not be frightened by paper
prices achieved by "bear spectators who are sell
ing short in the market Hold your cotton and let
the spinners pay you least what costs to produce

the market with more than the market will absorb.
Any manufacturer when he sees that he cannot sell
the stock of goods that he has on hand Immediately
curtails his production Farmers are manufactur-
ers and they can apply the same principles on a
smaller scale If in 1919 every farmer will cut his
normal cotton acreage by one-third he will get more
money for his crop and get paid at least the cost price
for any 1913 cotton he might have on hand which
is now quoted below the cost of production.

Small Crops Bring More Money

The total value is the same, but the cost of handling,
of making, of picking, etc. twice for twenty bales
as it is for ten The rule applies to all crops
The slogan for 1919 should be, make small crop
and sell it for more than it cost to raise. is time
for the Southern farmer to quit doing business at
a loss In any other line of industry when the man.
ager finds that he is losing money he quits and tries
something else It is good business and common
sense to cut down your cotton acreage when you
losing money on what you made the year before
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1919-02-25

By cutting down your cotton acreage you need
not reduce your land under cultivation. farmers
business is to farm and every acre he can make pro-
ductive adds that much more to the wealth Of the
world But farmers business is also business and
he should not run it at loss. Many people never
realize that the average cotton farmers situation is
something like this: He borrows money pays rent
and either gives his labor and that of his family
or hires labor to work enough land that will produce
say ten bales Of cotton Usually by the end OF the
season either through bad weather conditions or be-
cause of boil weeyil activity, or because OF rainy
weather during the picking season. or scarcity OF
cotton pickers, his ten bales are reduced to eight
bales Now taking Soc pound as the market price
for cotton we find that of this eight bales four bales
will be good enough grade to bring the full market
price of 30c a pound, total of $500 The other
four bales, because Of bad weather during picking
or carelessness of pickers various other reasons
might average say 1Sc pound, 500 bale, or $3.50
for four bales or total of $500 for his whole years

The South is now in position which might be
called cotton poor;" that is to say, it has large
stocks of cotton hand costing considerably more
than present market values to product and for which
there is seemingly no demand except at these sacri
flee prices Although there are sound fundamental
reasons why cotton should not be as low the pres
ent market quotations. yet in order to be in the
safe side it is good policy not to raise the usual crop
of cotton in l919-then the world will be to
take the cotton get and pay the Southern farm

Every well posted cotton man knows that cotton
costs more to produce than the present market quo
taton Some authorities state that the 1913 cotton

Every one knows that small crop years yield more
money In individual cases this might not be so,
because one farmer or one section of the farming
country or even whole State night have ruinous-
ly short crop In this event they would have to suf-

would benefit. But as general rule when crop
