DON'T PIT ALL YOLR HOGS
IN ONE BASKET. '
Scattered about over Stokes 1
county you may find here and
there solid, substantial citizens,
good farmers, with" their lands
paid for, with comfortable and
commodious homes, with their
soils improved and improving
every year, and with money in
the bank. These . men have not
made their successes by putting
all their eggs in one basket, nor
by planting ad their lands to
tobacco, and depending on tobac
co money to buy daisy middl
ings, meat. Hour, and baled hay.
Ask S. H. Steele. J. IX Young,
W. R. Hylton, J. V. Marshall,
W. D. Browder, Wm. Watts, J.
D. Hicks, A. D. Dodd. I. D.
Barr, W. A. Petree, I. Ross,
J. T. Kallatn, J. T. Joyce, Rev. j
i P. Oliver, Joel Robertson, and I
i dozens of others whom we could
? name to what they attribute
? their success. Ask them if they 
1 made their money raising all
f tobacco, and buying their sup
i plies. Not a single one of them,
- will say yes. But each and
- every one will attribute his suc
s cess to producing his home sup
r plies at home, and then giving
. the balance of his energy to the
- money crop. They have seen
i days when tobacco was high,
■ land they have watched the days'
s when tobacco was low come!
THE DAN BURY UEPOk i r.K
again. When tobacco was high
they still kept their corn cribs
and smoke houses at home.
It is one of the fundamental
principles of farmers unionism
that meat and bread, hay and
chop, and all the home supplies
which, can be grown in this,
climate, ?hall be raised at home.
We'll bet Alex Southern never
ibought half a dozen bags of
daisy middlings in his life. M'
1). Tuttle told the Reporter one,
day how little ot' thes • things
he had bought in his fariji life oft
some thirty or forty years or
more experience, and if every
body had done like him, what
a prosperouse country this
would be.
The farmer who makes his;
stulf at home is independent, i
He can smile at hard times, .
hoot at low tobacco, and snap
his linger at money stringencies.
He can lie down at night know-1
ing that he is following the I
line of farming which means
safety and success.
Tobacco was high last fall, i
and if it would always stay so, j
,it might be well for us to give |
... I
all the lands to raising the l
money crop. But tobacco will
not •be high always. The
pendulum of the clock will sway
' back the other way some day, 1
and it is well to always be on the
safe side.
