We Earnestly Invite Your Careful Inspection |
Of the statement of condition of our
Bank, and on the merits of this
- f
statement, we ask your business;
knowing that we will be able to take
i 1
care of you,
offices and the almighty dollar.
Only in late years have the
farmers realized the necessity of
advanced methods on the farm
and called them book-farming,
but I am glad to note that most
all have learned that there are
easier ways of making a crop
than our forefathers used.
Another of the great questions
is how to get out of debt; keep
out. Of course surroundings and
general conditions have a great
deal to do with it, and I will
give the experience of a few well-
to-do farmers that I know of in
our country, First of all, put
your land in a thorough state of
fertilization. This is done by
the succession of pea crops on
the poorer land and the hauling
out of all the cow-pen and other
manure you can get and scatter-
ing it over the soil. Break the
land as soon as the crops are
gathered and the fertilizer is put
out, harrow well and let stand
until ready to plant, when that
time comes put in just a little
more corn than you think it will
take to do you. Above all, don’t
forget your truck patches, such
as potatoes of both kinds, rib-
bon cane, sorghum and every-
thing it takes to live on. Then
put in a small crop of cotton for
the male members of the family.
Keep your children at school
when there are any, and the wo-
men at the house—they have
plenty to do there.
I know men who have done
this, who had nothing to start
with; they are now out of debt
and are educating their children.
They stand just as well as Mr.
Merchant, Mr. Banker or Mr.
Anybody-eise.

This .country is now filled with
people who migrate across the

Nine-tenths of them are suffer-

or chronic catarrh resulting from
neglected colds, and spending
fortunes vainly trying to regain
lost health. Could every suffer-
er but undo the past and cure
that first neglected cold, all this
sorrow, pain, anxiety and ex-
pense could have been avoided.
