"There is no sin too small to keep you out of heaven and no sin too great to send you to hell.

"Any man who would laugh at you for being a Christian, if he's as lowdown in stature as he is in in character, he could kiss a rat without bending his ki-eus.

The great decrease 111 the amount ot coin on the farms is due in part to a shoi 1 crop last year, the gradual increase in livestock, and liecause a larger amount of corn than usual was fed to livestock during the winter. In addition to this, a larger amount will be required from now on as teed for this increased live stock. This means that corn is going tn 1 1" scarce at least until the new crop comes in. ami that the pi r e will in all likelihood be much higher than it is at pri st nt, possibly going bighei than dur ing the war eriod. lb. Kilgoie linds an add il ioiia I aigu mcnt in favor of more corn, U'cause ,,f the considerable excess of wheat, rye and oats, which is on hand at present, over that generally on the fa 1 ins. Large ciups of these have also been planted for this year's harvest. All these facts, therefore, shoxv that the farmers of North Carolina can make no mistake by increasing their corn acreage, and prove that this should by all tin ins be done. In addition to in creasing the acreage devoted to corn, some should be planted as early as possi ble for the purpose of proviiljng early feed. I , tool' Il tile gliosis .1 ciming stieel.

Food Plus Cotton Equals Prosperity. If the Southern farmer is in a ItftUsr Ii ini'ial 1 oml it ion today than he ha I. et 11 loi some vcais past, it has resulted Ii. in a betle: balanced husbandry and Ha pi odui 1 ion of more food and feed 1 tops and livestock, as well as from the high price- loi his cotton, tobacco, rice, and olhci cash crops. If food ami feed aie not produced upon the farms and the acreage is , lex,, ted too largely to r.Ottou, both food ami feed must be purchased; a comparison of the purchasing power of cotton during the past year ami its pur chasing power during the years before the win will show that cotton did Mt purchase materially more of food and lee.l at retail pi ices in the South at 30 cents a pound m 1!U S than at 1- cents a pound prior to August 1, Pl t. The rule following in the last few veins is still good. Farmers and bank ers are urged again to compare the pur chasing power of their cotton with the retail values of food and feed. Such. a comparison xvill at once convince the or dinary man of the necessity of produc ing food ami feed to supply all our peo pie and the increasing livestock. Since the fall of 1914 cotton farmers of the South have prolited from the steady rise in the general level of all prices, including cotton. The supplies for the year, during this period of rising prices, were purchased at one level and paid for in the fall or winter out of cot ton sold at a higher level. If the war should le followed by a general decline of prices, the reverse of the situation in dicated above will confront the cotton farmer. In other Words, he will purchase at high prices the supplies for making the crop, and also foods and feedstuff a, if he tloes not produce a sufficient quantity of them, and possible pay for them in the fall or winter from his cotton sold at lower prices. The chances for profit dur ing a period of increasing prices are greater than , luting a period of decreas ing prices. These are facts which the cotton farmer should remember during the period following the wai.
