Seme Good Advice to Tobacco Farmers. Mr. Editor: You will olease publish in yourj paper the following editorial: Farmers, hold your tobacco, on account of the prevailing low J prices of tobacco. I think it ad- j visable for the farmers to hold i their tobacco for a better price, j The low prices of tobacco and 1 cotton are caused by the! European war and the cut off of our export trade on our tobacco j to foreign countries. It looks i very reasonable that tobacco will j sell for a better price when i Europe declares peace and trans-! portation is opened up between 1 the United and Europe. Farm ers have formed a habit of | marketing their tobacco too early j and too fast. They seem to act as though they have to sell their tobacco early and very rapidly in order to get a price for it. I will admit it has been the case for the last several years, that the farmers that sold early in the season received the better price. But who brought about this con dition of affairs? The farmers brought it on themselves. The bulk of the tobacco is sold in the fall of the year when farmers ought to be harvesting their corn, sowing grain, clovers, grasses and other crops. The farmer that does these things on his farm, generally gets the most from his farm. If he does have to take a little less far his tobacco later in the season if the farmer would co-operate and agree to market their tobacco more gradual and in bet ter condition they would realize more for it. The buyers and manufacturers had rather buy it more gradual and in better con dition and better order. It costs them 10.--s tohnndli it, and isnotas liable to dam ige on their hands. The farmers should get in a posi tion to price their tobacco and h >ld it for that price. And if they could not get a price over the cost of production enough to enable them to educate their children and enjoy some of the luxuries of life, then stop making it. 1 am sorry to say that I belong to a class of people that don't think enough of their labor or what they make with their labor to put a price on it. It is a God given right that they have. Brother farmer, do not Bell your tobacco any faster than you are compelled to do to meet neccessary expenses. Yours very respectfully, W. A. L.

I go into the paths of debt for its sake. Yea. though I understand my Ford perfectly I f jar much evil, for the radius rods of the axle might break. It has a blow-out in the presence of mine enemies. I anoint the tire with a patch. The radiator boileth over. Sure ly this thing will not follow me all the days of my life, or I shall dwell in the house of poverty forever.
