I am glad the government is warning the people of North Carolina to plant more foodstuffs, for I am sure it is needed. By far more than cotton for we can't eat cotton and tobacco. Of course when we make cotton and tobacco we can pViy debts, but I will advise every farmer in North Caroli na not to boy too much of this high grade -fertiliser and expect . to pay for it with 30- and 35 cent cotton. I anf in favor of more foodstuff being raised in or land. IX the, govern ment would sav how much cotton and tobacco for , us to plant ana not let us plant any- more, it would be well. Speaking of. the fertilizers, they tire must be making something this time worth using, because the other day when I waa going across my farm I saw 30 buzzards going westward all together. That's why I say they must be making something worth us ing under our cotton and tobacco and corn. I guess I have said enough about cotton if our manufacturers are mak ing good fertilizers, don't buy so much and expect topay for it with high- priced cotton, and tobacco. The Deome down our way are piow ing, discing and planning, getting readv for anothea ' cron. All this seems to be the order of the day.
