It . looks ! foolish for a farmer to make debts' expecting to meet them by planting more cotton and getting less for ,it. Sit down and take stock of the situ ation. 'Here is my own plan. I am holding three hundred and fifty bales' of cotton. I made on my own farm I last year 175 bales. This year I will not plant an, acre of my own but will plant 250 acres in corn and velvet beans and oats. By planting my land in corn and beans I will have that land in fine condition another year for cotton. Let me say right here, that every farmer that can plant velvet beans should have them in every acre of corn he plants. It doubles the grain crop on your land, adds fertility to the soil and supplies feed for cattle and hogs. I attended the cotton convention last Thursday in Colnubia and I was impressed with the earnestness of the four hundred farmers and bankers in the hall and I feel like we will get results. The meeting in New Or leans on the 17th will unify all the nlans of all the cotton states and then it is the purpose to have committees to visit the farmer and take his name and how much cotton he planted last year and how much he proposes to cut it down. In the event that he declines to join in with those th-at agree to cut, l.is name will be turn ed over to all the banks with a re quest that his credit be restricted. We are in a fight and we must win. We can win by reducing our cotton crop. This is the only way it can be lone-to hold the present crop and make more cotton to depress the price of that we have on hand seems too foolish for any sensible man to do. You can buy October cotton on the New York Exchange at nineteen cents. Can you make it and deliver it in New York at that price under present conditions and live a comfort able life and give your family the things you would like to see them have ? If you can plant less cotton you will get more money for it and the old Southland will smile with plenty and prosperity like we did last fall. We are entitled to a good living. We can demand it if we will take warning. Now is the accepted time. F. C. T. -o PEOPLE ARE NOT TAKING UP WAR WORK PLEDGES February 8, 1910. Mr. W. D. Melton, State Chairman United War Work Campaign, Co lumbia, S. C. My Dear Mr. Melton: I am somewhat, surprised to learn I that a great many subscribers to the United War Work Fund are showing a spirit of indifference. May I not suggest that you take this matter up with the various county organizations, thru your collector, Mr. C. T. Frick, and urge the collection of all pledges? There seems to be a feeling on the part of some of the subscribers that these funds are not now needed. They seem to overlook the fact that a - great deal of this money was actually spent or pledged prior to the cam paign, and it is very much needed now in bringing the soldiers home. I cannot believe that the people of South Carolina would feel indifferent to this matter if they can be made to realize that if we fail now it will. be the first time since we entered the great World War. Surely we will not give anyone reason to say that we are lacking in gratitude. It is i true the fighting is over, and the sol- [ dier is now to return to his home. When he went away to brave every danger, and make every sacrifice, he 0 felt that his cause was just, and that the people for whom he fought were worthy of him. We cannot afford to disappoint him wvhen he returns. - I beg to suggest, therefore, that i you endleavor to present through your U county organizations to all subsc rib-. ers who have not paid their pledges, first: The actual need for the. fund; i secondl: That the people of South[ Carolina cannot affor d to (10 less for. avictorious army than they did for I a fighting army. If I can he of aid to you in any wayv,. do not hesitate to command me. Very truily yours, 1 (Signed) R. A. Cooper, Above is a copyV of a (lote wit ten by Governor Cooper to Mr. W.I ID.
