cause ' prices -have been,
put every available: acre
into : these money crops
this year, ; ana Ana in : a
probability bring about
another year of tow prices,
is folly of - the most ejT""
There are men who did
not get wages out of their
cotton crop this year when
:3
it brought 14 or IS cents.
Other men would have
made good profits if it
hadonly brought 10 cents.
To insure good crops each
year, and continued pros- '
perity Southern farmers
must do two things Grow
more live stock and raise
more feed crops. We
canV keep the stock wilhX
out the feed, and to keep

auction,', iWe'mn's i shave
more live stock..
crWheftit eoesio 'fee
m crops, tve. alt think of
corn rs, ana; there hasi
never been, we believe, a
greater interest in Kcorn
growing in the South than
at present. But we should
not forget that the legumes
are the cheapest and best
feeds for live stock and;
the greatest profit to the
Coortesy Norfolk & Western IL R. Co.
