In a letter recently sent out by the
country merchants and bankers. w.
b. Thompson, president of the LOIiisi-
ana Division of the American Gotten
Association, asked their cooperation
in prevailing upon the cotton planter
to reduce his acreage and to grow
food and feed.
In his letter to the merchants and
bankers, President Thompson said:
'The only way permanent prosper
ity will be established in the South is
by making the small farmer prosper

prosperous If he spends his money for
food and feed The country mer-
chant cannot be prosperous If the
farmers who support his business
only pay him in promises. Promises
will not pay the whoesaler's bills. nor

"The old merchandising policy of
holding your customers by keeping
them in debt to you does not pay.
You know what happened in 1921. You
have many accounts on your books
which you never will collect, others
which may take years to collect.
"The key to the whole problem lies
in the hands of the country merchant
and the banker He holds the credit
and by using it judiciously and WISE
ly, he can enforce on those farmers
who are inclined to be stubborn the
policy which will help all-he can
make them farm intelligently and

urging sane farming. The American |
Cotton Association, the Texas Better
Farming Association, the Memphis
Acreage Conference, ell are agreed on
the policies to be pressed, not only
during the year 1922, but as perma-
nent policies for the betterment of
agriculture in the South. Overproduc-

"The sensible and reasonable thing
Is to limit cotton acreage to not more

NINE REASONS

Nearly every small and large city
has Il civic organization for the pro
motion Of commerce. industrial eXpan-
sion. social welfare. the city beautiful,
,tc. They have varying names, such
IS commercial clubs, chambers OF
commerce. advancement aSs0cla-
lions etc. What ever the name. the
purpose of all of them is generally the
same Probably the name last men
toned above is more appropriate than
most of the names OF these organiza-
tons. because it describes more clearly
and tersely the purpose.
Rhinelander has such an organlZa
ton and it's name is the ''Rhineland-
or Advancement Association. The
Daily News of that city says that many
people are more or less at a loss TO
understand Just what the association
is for. so it gives the following nine
points which, to its mind, are the ar
ticles of faith of the association and
its active workers. They are:
First 70 make the citizens think
Second TO get business men pulling

Third To raise the standard of do

Fourth-To develop the business Of
the community.
| Fifth To inspire civic pride ane
| good citizenship.
Sixth To obtain good government

Seyenth--To encourage physical I'M
i provement of the city.
Eighth--ro make the city Il better

Ninth-To give expression OF bnsi
ness men in the welfare of the com
munity.

IMPROVING THE RURAL. SERVICE

BY direction Of the postoffice depart

OF the rural routes from their Offices
The purpose was that they might as

make report whether the roads used
were in good condition for travel, the
erected, so as to be easily reached by
the carriers without difficulty and with
out obstructing travel, the carriers
serving their routes as officially pre-
Scribed, the schedule observed, and
whether the families served were sat
listed with the service rendered, or
there were improvements which could

irons or the department.
1t became necessary in connection
with the inspections, to request many
patrons to take action to the end that
their boxes might conform with the
regulations as to kind, condition, loca-

Of the owner plainly printed on them.

greatly help themselves by helping

approaches to their boxes clear, and
by promptly and Willingly correcting

Another great assistance that pa
