i I I I I SOWING TIME IS HERE And we urge our farmer friends to make ample provisions for food for family and live stock for another year, by sewing grain this Fall. A very prominent and sensible Southern Hank er, Mr. Jno. M. Miller, Jr., President of The fir t and Merchants National Bank of Richmond. Ya„ in a speech on conditions in the South a few davs ago made the fo’bwing sen able remarks, which we fjvote for the benefit of our customers as they are very applicab'e to the needs of Cleveland County at this time. “The pie. :r.t lory prjpe r,f cotton n. >st unfor tunate hot a large crop ot cotton or of anything else is bound to bring with it low prices." ‘‘Curtailed cotton acfmge for the nr\> season N the surest means of getting a reasonable mice for the surplus crop. Much has been said about curtail ing acreage by legislation. In mv opinion such a than would be rank p lterna'ism. Goo.I hard corn ion sense nvu f be brought into play; not paternal legislation.” ‘‘Probably a ten million bale erm for 1927 should be the objective. Cotton should h<_ the mon ey crop. An increased acreage for food and feed must accompary the decreased acreage for cotton. The South should raise its own bacon, lard and other food products: also hay and grain and other feed products and save the hundreds of millions sent out of the South ever, year for food and feed that should be made at home.” /A \ $ We urge our cu tomers and friends to realize this important need of sowing Fall crops now. % £ First National Bank SHELBY, N.

The Deaf backs swept ; around ends almost at will on trick i plays which puzzled the Fallston j Highs and also took the spirit from them.
