! As the Olive- Chilled Plow, is the acme of«ehiIled plows, so is the Oliver Steel the perfec-
j tion of steel plows. The Oliver Steel is the only plow made that has all points made of
j the same mnteri. 1 r.S its mould boards, case hardened surface with soft center, every
point sharpened ready for use; these points will last three times as long as ordinary
prints. The inner frog and land side is cut from one piece of steel, no weld, while in
others the frog is welded to the inner land slide, thus often breaking at this vital point.
Why pay $13.50 for a much inferior plow when you get this greatest of all plows for $10.
Money saved Is money made, and besides, you get a much
better plow.
We carry everything you want from at cradle to a coffin; Dry Goods, Groceries, Furni
ture, implements, Hardware, Wagons, etc. Our goods are all strictly
the best grades. Our motto: “Honest and fair treatment to all.”

We have the support of the l'inan
etaiinterest if we farmers will only
do our part. We can’t afford to
do other wise.
This is the first time in the history
of the South when all interests are
united for a common purpose, and
the farmers are going to reduce
their acreage, adopt diversification
and win out.
Unless there is uniform reduction
fn every school district throughout
the South it will not avail you to
hold the surplus now on hand.

neighbor is decreasing deceives po

plus carried over will . see much

When ehch farmer has agreed to
reduce liia cotton 25 per cent, let’s
diversify 25 per. cent, plant more
feed crops, plant more to eat at
home, plant so you will have some-
thing to sell every day.
Cotton is a great crop but don’t
let it be master. ,
The Sou.h is short on food and
forage (waps afi^ Tong on cott.on ;
bringmbqtTt a parity. Raise more
to eat and feed for yo.ur stock.
Ten acres of cotton at 10 cents
is more.than t wenty acres at 5 cents.
The following is among the reso-
lutions adopted at the National
cotton convention, Dec. 12 to 15:
! That we heartily approve the
methods already employed as being
both scientific and practical, and
j that we emphasise the idea 'of
-thorough preparation of the cottda
lands, a reduction of acreage, the
rotation of crops and intensive
cultivation and diversification with
effoit to -secure early matured
cotton. ■" ,W ;
This was the largest and most
important, cotton convention, ever
held in the South.
This department will be ’ filled
each week with articles from Lh •
best farmers of the Southern states
on cotton and the benefits of diver-
sifications and how to diversify.
This paper will be the medium
through which the National Cotton
association will reach each member
to carry on the campaign for be ft t
conditions for the cotton farmers.
Every banker, every merchant,
every farmer should see that this
paper ghes each week to every
farmer, landlord or tenant, white or
blackrin each schoolhouse cotton
association in this county.
Oswald Wilson,
National Secretary.

cotton situation are requested to
