Yield Cotton

because of halrliirH; should be second
10 none and should be offered in nice
now sacks like the Western markets
offer it. Hay should have the same
careful attention that Western grow
ers give it and should be neatly baled,
so it can be handled as economically
as the hay we have shipped to u.s..
It's true you cannot sell corn, oats,
hay. potatoes, etc, in the fall as well
as cotton, but I dare say if your bank
knew YOU had 1000 bushels each of
ccrn and oats and so tons of hay, all
nicely cared for and stored away for
the market at the beginning OF the
new year, you would have no trouble
to get them to carry your account
till the market was open for your
FOOD crops. If you would once start
this, you would find that it was not
one bit longer from January to Janu-
ary than it is from November to No
vember.
in closing l want to call attention to
the fact that present prices for cotton
as shown by the figures submitted
will not pay the fertilizer and food
bills, not to mention any OF the other
necessities. Then, Why not grow the
food, not only Tor your own needs but
also little for sale? Right now the
farmers Of our state and all the 9TH
els as we'll, are pitching their crops
for another year. Won't you see that
food CROPS are not neglected? II
you do, you will get z fair price for
all the extras you have for sale If
YOU care for it, as you should and
offer it in nice condition for handling
/ like those who sell it offer it. In
addition to this, YOU will get at least
living wage out Of your cotton If
/ all the other cotton states will do
! likewise; but if they do not, you will
at least have your own foodstuffs at
! far less than you could buy them and
the extras will sell with but little
trouble.
The boil weevil is almost here and
if we turn our attention to crops
ether than cotton, he will not hurt us
much like he has other cotton sec
tons.

to the extent of presenting a solid

respective positions it was considered
Eardly likely that final vote could
De taken before next Wednesday.
II reports reaching Dublin tonight
from other parts of Ireland may be
accepted as correct, the general public
apparently is becoming irritated at the

is on everybody's mind. These reportS
