him decisively in ten rounds at the

The champion took eight of the

round, the first. going to the chal-

The biggest crowd that has attended
"a fight in this city in years jammed
into the arena.
At the tap of the gong. in the
first round, Robinson started in like
a streak. apparently intent on win
ming the fight in the initial session.
His going was very vigorous, and
the champion was forced to take
second place in the first. Robinson
landed the best blow of the fight
in this round, almost flooring .he
champion with a singing right to
the head which obviously bothered
him.
Wilson weathered the storm, how
ever, and at the start of the second
round began coming strong. Using
a left a lot, Wilson occasionally
slammed in a stiff right uppercut.

with a heavy left to the body. which

left uppercut, mixed occasionally
with his right, had the challenger

rounds Robinson fought desperate
ly,. and in the ninth almost took
the honors. The tenth was another
session Of hot in-fighting. and at the
gong both men were going fast and

Enterprise, Ala, Feb. %, 1921
Editor Times Recorder: / have just
returned from an extended trip
through South Carolina, Georgia, and
Middle and East Alabama. ! have
talked with a great many farmers
and business men on my trip, and |
can truthfhlly say that I have never
in all my life seen people so "up in
the air. as to how they shall proceed
with their farms this year.
| have studied the situation more
closely than | ever have before, and
am going to sound warning now
and if the farmers do not heed this
warning the yare going to be sorry
for It.
There is enough cotton to run the
mills Of the world for twenty-four
months now on hand. You viii no.
tice it has declined from 40 cents to
II cents in six months, and all the
cotton people say now that it vii! go
10 s cents by the first Of May. With
4 big crop this year it will sell at 3
and cents October next. Now,
what IS the use of buying fertilizers,
planting another big crop Of cotton
and make it at a loss Of more than
10 cents a pound, and not be able to
sell the crop we have on hand for
one-third of the cost?
What is the remedy? We have
had all kinds of advice, from every
source. and by the best talent in all
the land, and yet | see on every hand
evidence of big cotton acreage fol-
this year Nearly all the land | saw
was prepared for cotton. 1t woult
be better if the land were allowed tC
grow UP in weeds this year than tC
be planted in cotton.
! was talking to Q gentleman il
Georgia who said he ran twelve plows
| He now has on hand two cotton crops
and he has no feedstuff at all on hi
plantation. | asked him what h,
was going to do and ne said he wa
| going to plant every acre on the plac,
in cotton, even the front yard ant
| garden, for, said he, this is the las
| year we can make cotton on accOun
Of the weevil." | told him this yea
would ruin him.
A comparison Of our section wit
some Of the country through which
have just travelled convinceS me tina
all cotton will ruin any country

Peanuts and Hogs
It. is true that we have had t.
sacrifice our peanut crop this year
but look at the hogs we have grown
and fattened on peanuts. | have
one customer who paid me on last
Friday 81 400 out Of his hog crop
grown on a two-horse farm He has
plenty of everything to run his farm
this year, which he does with his own
children and no hired help at all.
Why don't you Georgia and South
Carolina people cut out your cotton
crop this year, not buy a pound of
fertilizer, plant everything in corn
anr peanuts and raise hogs, and let
the boil weevil starve out one year,
hold your cotton until next fa}l and
get cost and interest for carrying ii
over? Peanuts will not need any
fertilizer at ali you can make from
fifty to seventy-tive bushels to the
acre where you had corn and cotton
last year without the use of a single
pound of commercial fertilizer.
Peanuts will bring a good price
next fall and winter. Why do / say
so? We are sure to get a accents
per-pound duty on all imported pea
nuts, and that will stop the importa-
tons entirely Last year the Orient
shipped one hundred thousand tons
| of l,aaOlItS IN tbiS country bacidat
| the oil.
If you do not want to gather you
peanuts. put them into hog hides. Re
cent statements made to the govern.
ment by the packers Of the country
show that we are facing a hog fam
! inc. They say we are nineteen mil
lion hogs short of two years ago, anC
! went on to say that there is no
enough meat in cold storage to las
Is days. This being true, how d,
you expect to overdo the hog bust
| ness? When you can get $1,000 eacl
! for a bunch Of eight months old pig
that perhaps have never eaten an ca
of corn, don't you think that will bea
cotton at 8 cents per pound? If 20
let your hogs eat your peanuts in til
field you would never have to use an
fertilizer at all; your land would q
richer every year.
This letter will be followed ne,
week with a letter on peanut cultur
With very best wishes for NV fe
low farmers, | am. Sincerely YOU
