wage carners employed in these

employed in agricultural and rural
districts, tend to intensity the mi

means should be considered toward
alleviating this serious condition
of migration rather than towards
aggravating it,

laugh at the tempest and cold" which
many predict will come in abundance
this Winter, put these facts in your
thinking pipe and smoke EN-:
1. A large acreage of cotton un,

for the staple.
2. A limited acreage indicates
ACREAGE prices.
3: A small acreage guarantees the
best possible prices-and the smaller
