These contracts are made in legal form, arc binding, and violation of same lays the maker liable to pros- . ceution and penalties. This aosolute- . ly assures trie uniform reduction of :::i 1-3 per eent. The execution of these contracts is being met with ready compliance on the part of farmers, merchants, bankers, cotton factors and brokers, and with the enormous machinery of the American Association, embracing in its membership the entire cotton belt, the sue- ^ cess of this plan is absolutely assured, which means, regardless of seasons, that the year 1920 will show the smallest, cotton crop produced in a rlfi-rwl..

Notwithstanding the great losses caused by' the slump in cotton prices, we have much to be thankful for, because our food and feed <?rops are abundant and valuable. The corn crop, which in early summer promised to be d poor one on small acreage, now promises (by reason of the farmers' response to the call for increased acreage and better cultivation, and the favorable seasons) to be around, 44,000,000 bushels, the largest in our ntstory. 'Then, too, wo have more hogs irl the state than ever before, and our livestock is increasing rapidly in number and value. We have an immense crop of fine hay; and we have exceptional yields of sirup, a big crop of sweet potatoes, etc, "Now if our people will turn attention as early as possible to the seeding of a large grain crop, there is no danger of want of food or j Kill That' CASCARAI FOR Colds, Coughs ^ O ' I . v.V-Cted Cold Take no chancer.
