In fact, there is not very much of any kind. Just think of the gins starting the first of Octo ber. Only a few farmers in this section have picked a bale ? some three or four hundred pounds. Don't try to plant your whole crop in tobacco because, it has sold high this year. Try to raise bread and meat at home and then plant some cotton and tobacco. It don't pay to buy moat:, meal, lard and corn. The price is too high. Better have some to sell.
