A Timely Warning.

The banks of Charleston. Talla-
hatchie County, have sent out the
following to the farmers OF their
territorv which is good advice TO
all Mississippi farmers:
There has never been a time in
tue history of our country when it
was more necessary to play safe
and sane than during 1922.
Should the South raise large
crop of cotton this year. we need
not expect to get even cost price
for the 1922 crop.
Our advice is to be careful.
Raise cotton. yes. but only as a
surplus crop. Five or six acres,
fertiized and we'll worked, will
yield more than twice that number
of acres worked as we have been
working it.
BE sure to grow sufficient feeds
stulfs, hog and hominy. to do
another year aud to impress the
importance of doing this we call
the attention to the attitude and
policy of the banks, expressed
last year in regard to to this matter,
in that THE BANKS WILL NOT
LEND MONEY TO ANY GUS
TONER TO BUY FEEDSTUFF,
who has had opportunity to raise
/ the same.
We are heartily in favor with
the movement to encourage well
balanced farming, which includes
growing cotton. feedstuffs, live.
stock and poultry and also dairy.
