BIG QUESTION NO W
IS WHAT TO PLANT
I
Remember first the old ruie about
something to eat, it has never noen
I found untrue and leaves us independ
! ent. Then comes the crops we are
j best able to handle. So far a.; what
j the price of any particular crop will
be this fall, no one knows. It is'sel
| dom that all of our leading moneV
| crops, cotton, peanuts and tobacco, all
sell well the same season. Yet there
are fow years that any one of them
brings a fair price.
We generally try to look well to
the law of supply and demand which
should be the base governing price
but that theory has been largely set
at naught by the experience in tin
last cotton crop, a shortage of 5,
00(i,(lii(l bales in the face of a growing
consumption and yet cotton prices fail
|ed to respond. The rapid spread of
[the boll weevil did not affect them,
even though the nr-rthern limits have
been reached and we have no new
territory-to open to cotton" after the
weevil has gotten full possession. Thi
peanut supply seem to be larger and
though the lust crop showed a alrge
yield in bags the quality was pool
and trashy. The peanut grows in a
bundatice in the boll weevile territon
and can take the place of cotton. I
. this should occur the peanut supph
will be large and prices will not Iwv i
much chance to IK 1 high. However,
the good grades of peanuts will hard
ly he grown in that territory and oui
• own fui'mi'i'.s who raise real pcaiini
and take care of them, a thing whirl
has almost stopped, may expect a fail
price for them.
Tobacco frequently gets us in debt
and often gets us out of debt. It
a substance of no intrinsic hut of
"nigh commercial value and is valu
able because people want it and not
because they need it. There is some
uncertainty about the' supply of to
batco miw on hand. It is quite tru "
that the production of tobacco ha
been very largely increased wilhin tin
last few years aifd it is also true that
the Consumption has also increased
but the public does hot know the I"'"
portions nor do they know the need
for this year, consequently the I'ai
mer does not know just how to pro
ceed. Still there is one lesson tin
farmer- should have learned by thi
time ami that is that' a small goo,
crop is always better than a I'liV'
poor crop. Then why take chance
by spending too much in laboi m
expenses on a large acreage who
feWer aereii .with more utteniiuii-xv.uiih .
produce more income. From all in
"dications there is no special ivasoi,
for farmers to j>o tobacco era> am
plant enough to .seed price below tin
ci, t nl production.

Some of our fanners are upuiuk
their plows, harrows, sowers and
planters in order. When the good
weather comes, bridling the mule will
be the only task left before begin
ning work in earnest. Some people
are. cleaning out the ditches, cutting
down the hedges, and mending- their
harness. Some are building pastures
preparatory to taking caro of their
live stock. All of the above men will
be able to get credit if they happen
to need it, anybody will trust them.
Some folks are waiting for the blue
bird to como and sit on last year's
corn stalks to announce that spring
has come. Then the weather will be
pleasant und they can go to town and
get general repairs for the tools and
machinery. They can get out and
look after the usual farm needs but
the time has come for real farm work
is no time left tomake tho little re
pairs in. They have not decided in
which fields to plant different crops.
Thfy hardly know which is best adapt

That farmer will find it hard to get
assistance because luh success is doubt

DECIDING WHERE TO BUY
(From Human Interest Editorials)
The success of a bu > ru-o* uecevls
on itj wbility to a'l'il);* the uieoUU
oiv.i.ons of the pakl't a;, dti* de
ci.i "e how oeiole decide •« to wlm*
t/.,*jr shall buy goods Tim inerduints
who read tho public mind most ac
curately gets the business.
When one find that ho needs some- 11
tiling, the question comes up where
tlmt article should be bought. From
some source back in the mind the sug
gestion comes that such and such a
place would bo a good store to visit
for that purpose. Whence comes that
suggestion ?
In the majority of cases, it Is cre
ated by tho store that has made the
most effort to impress its reputation
on the public mind. People remem
ber the things they hear about con
stantly, and they forget other things
that are rarely called to their atten
tion. /rhc advertised store conforms
to the laws of psychology, by con
stantly calling public attention to its
enterprises, its goods, its methods, its
prices and the advantages of trading
with it. Consequently the inner con
sciousness, when asked what or where
a person should'huy, is apt to respond
by suggesting certain advertised good.
It i of course true that while a
1 stoie by advertising can always draw
in a lot of now trade, it can't keep it
unless it really , does give good val
ues. But advertising helps a store do
that, notably in these two ways:
I. Advertising encourages mer
, chants to handle big lots when such
i are offered to thorn at low figures,
i They know that by appealing to the
■ public by-advertising, they can swing
tlieso big- lots and turn them into
money in a short time. Thus baying
in a large way and taking advantages
of special opportunities, they are able
to' offer special vulueh.
A 2. Advertising increases volume
of trade, thus reducing the operating
and overhead expense per article, mak
ing it possible to cut prices to the
public. The advertised store buys and
operateh at low figures, and c§n thus
make low prices.
•LEST WE FORGET"
Don't forget to send a contribution
to Mrs. Clayton Moore for th* Wilson
Peace Fund. We should strive'to put
Martin County up to its quota which
is only $200.00. We have several
thousand Martin County citizens who
especially admire Woodvow Wilson
and now we have an opportunity to
show our affection for him in a mater
ial way. Besides admiring Wilson we
all want peace, the way to get it U
to work for it, pray for it, talk it
and pay for it. Send a few cent*, a
dollar or a few dollars to Mrs. Moore
this week. Mrs. Daniels, the State
chairman, want sto close the campaign
by Saturday night
