C., Feb. 21, 1921. Mr. Editor, Please allow nie space in your columns to express a few thoughts that may interest some of our farmers. Last fall some of our leading men advised us to hold cotton, thinking that through export corporation we would be able to get a fair price for our staple. But it continues to come down, and we are not getting one third of what we expected, the cost of production. The high price .and extravagent use of fertilizer, high labor and living have got us up against it. Now I believe the same wind that blows a fire and can blow, up 5f the bellows are properly operated. I,ast spring our barns and shelters were fillet! with guano and the fertilizer companies were being cursed because they did not ship it in faster. This fall the same buildings are filled with cotton and our mail boxes filled with duns for this guano, and the fertilizer.companies are being cursed by some because they want their money. I don't think this is fair. We simply made a bad trade, but we made it and w0 take our medicine; but we should look out for the next trade. The factories are prepared to sell ilu o i n ?> *-1 ? V* t ?-* 1? t U uo n^aiu auu x unui\ lUnilCIh should sot a price on it, and as we are forced to sell cotton at one-third value we should buy fertilizer at the same rate. This would mean about $17.00 for 8-3-3 guano, and $8.00 HOUSE FOR RENT?J. T. Ilurst.

COI Hi wyn } ' J I |l for acid and if we can't buy at these prices let them keep it. Some of those idlers that have been walking around boasting of their bonus or some easy money from the government have about struck bottom and will work now at living prices, and those that won't work should be on the road. Some of us paid $4.50 or more per bushel for improved cotton seed, such as Colter's No. 12 and that great Webber 82 and we have made a web and a strnnir nnn nnA ? ? . ? ?- ? -.ps uuu vuv i ai iii^I , merchant, banker and almost every business enterprise is tangled in it; a'nd nothing but wise planning, hard work and economical living wil get us out of it. I don't beleve that exchanging 20 pounds of these seed for 14 pounds of meal will get us out of this web. I believe this movement will make it more difficult to get out of it. Some claim that one ton of meal is worth two tons of seed, that the oil which the seed contain are injurous to the land but before I'll make such e>chainge I'll put mine on th0 land if they make .these old hills sa greasy as a mangy pig. I don't believe this form of operating the bellows wil! ever blow up this fire. I believe we _should demand a square deal and we'll get it. Isaiah J. Brewer.

The situation in the Near East is critical and the needs for funds tf save the women and little children oi Armenia from death by starvation is so great that The Advertiser has de cided to open its columns for theii relief. For humanity crushed, enslaved bleeding, we plead; exiles wandering in the desert, children orphaned Christian girls prisoners or slaves ii Moslem harems; a stricken natiot amidst implacable foes, its ancestra territory, made sacred by the martyr doms of fifteen centuries, seized bj others; homes in ruin, hopes crushed lives imperiled. This prostrate Armen ian nation, still the battle ground o contending armies for two years afte the close of the World War, its crop stolen, 2,200,000 of its citizens mas sacred or starved to death, begs o prosperous America for food enougl to sustain lif?> till th . r?rr??v?ici?.c, j bodied in the terms of the Armistic are fulfiled.
