i; FROM THE COUNTY AGENT j'
O. P. Barrett i1
*—♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦*♦*♦♦' ’
The business men of the State
generally are behind the Cotton
Association that we are organizing
in Miss. I wish to call your at
tention in this paper to the strong
indorsement given by the Mer
chants & Farmers Bank of Slark
ville Thi is not jnst as indorse'
mentou paper but in spirit and in
fact. The President and Vice-
President of ibis institution have
both signed up to market their cot*
ton thru the Association next year,
and being members their attitude
in business matters toward fellow
members will be sympathetic. I
believe that our other two splendid
Banking Institutions in Btarkville
will come in just as heartily. Mv
reason for asking tbe Merchants A
Farmers Bank to lead out, was on
account of the fact that their Direc
tions had already indorsed tbe move
ment unsolicited.
December stb., 1922
Mr. C. P. Barrett, County Agent,
City
Dear Mr. Barrett:-
Replying to your request for a
statement of our position regarding
the cooperative marketing of the
cotton crop beg to sav that we are
very glad indeed that yon have ask
ed ns to “lead off" in this project*
for we think it the-greeted agricul
tural movement vet made by the
farmer for his betterment, and as a
farmers Bank we want to cooperate
with yon as far as we can.
Next w* wish to urge every farm
er to “sign up” and plant at least
a part of his cotton tor it is yet the
most profitable market crop the
farmer of the South can plan^.
Finally let us sav that when the
time comes to turn your cotton
over to the Association, this Bank
wants the pnvelage of making
loans upon your cotton, rather than
have you carry it out of the Coun
ty.
If there is any other way in
which we can aid you that is not
out of harmony with sound bank
ing. von have only to request it.
Very truly vours,
Merchants & Farmers Bank
Now 1 want to suggest to the
other Banks of our county that
they get their Directoi s together aud
take a positive stand in regard to
this cotton Association, There are
farmers hesitating logo in till they
find out wbat your attitude is.
Over 700 bales of the next years
crop is alreadyeigned up and before
this paper comes ont there will be
1000 bales signed no. Your atti
tude is going to come out when
Association Members eeek loans at
vour Bank anyway. If this thing
is a good thing for the farmers of
the connty, yomougbtto be a leader
in it, and it it is not a good thing,
vour voice-ought to be raised pub
licly against it.
The Miss. Farm Bureau Cotton
Association is no radical movement
fostered bv demagogs and cranks.
It boasts in its membership of the
best and most conservative farmers
a list of whose names is published
in this paper as to the kind of men
that are joining in.Oktibbeha coun
tl. They are my kind Af folks.
Some farmers are saying, ‘Tbe*
lieve that it is a good thing, but I
will let the Other fellow join'it and
see bow be comes ont before 1 go
in.” If that was tbe general atti
tude, we would never have a Cot
ton Association in Miss., or any
thing else worth while. If I be
lieve in tnis thing, I would want a
put in pntUnf tl on. Nobody bat
the farmer is going to ever solve I
bis marketing problems for bim '
You have been waiting oq the other
fellow for a century now, and
where ha? he carried von? When
I talked before the Board of Super
visors Monday, W. L), (Buster)
Saits was the only man that joined,
tie was not deterred by tbe fact
that, the other fellow, present w oul I
not come in. We need farmers
like Buster Seitz that will step out
and take a stand, * We have sixty
now in Oktibbeha countv who have
taken such a stand in (he cotton
Association, and we have faith
that there are 150 others,
Why should somebody “Hollei
Radical’’ when the farmer begins
to form an organization to market
his products! This is the s\st ra
pursued by ever other business oi*
ganizatiun. They set the price on
their goods at cost plus a profit and
it they do not have their own retail
ing establishment, ihev put salec
man on the road to sell their pro
duct, If they did not do it tl ay
would he in bankruptcy immediate
ly. The man that actually hues,
plows and picks tbe cotton has
gone in rags while the industry has
made millionaires at the other end.
The fruit trees are here and all
orders have beep delivered, I have
some trees that I ordered extra
that are heeled out in my garden
at the house If you want trees this
year you bad better get them, as
these will be positively the lasi
trees open'd till nextiall.
The Contest is On
Tbe Beautiful JDoll at Uartness
& Kodue’ Store will be given away
on Christmas Eve to the little gi,l
getting the must votes. Below is
tbe standing of contestants to date.
Enter now and win the behuliful
doll, tl is never too late.

Fight For Your Trade
Few people have any idea abou
the immense number of mail order
catalogues llmt ilint are received
bare turough Ibo mails ami the
amount of merchandise that om
people are buying from these mail
order houses. Ask Postmaster
Powers—he can tell you. These
mail order u etchants in distant
cities are in the midst of their rich*
est harvest, and are sitting back
licking their chops. It ought not
be necessary to again call the at
teution of our inerchanU to the ft ot
that it they don't advertise their
holiday goods the mail order men
-rwbojdo (advertise- are goiat
to gel business that should never
leave this immctlinte community.
The Christmas spirit is in the air.
Wise buyers have been making
purchases lor two or thiee weeks.
Out (be bulk of the trading will be
done from now oh. They've still
got time to send an order to Chi
cago and get the goods hack.before
Christmas. DON’T LET THEM
DO IT. You’ve got the goods that
will satisfy them—and they’ve got
he money to pav for the goods.
By all means tell who lyou’ve got
la next week’s paper.
Every Man His Own
Mechanic
A city man. driving his automo
bile along a little used cAuutry
road, beard something rattle be
neath his car, stopped, looked back
and saw a bright metal objtct lying
in the road a short distance behind.
It was a plow-point, evidently lost
by some farmer.
It was fallv half an hotu- before
the next car came along, and its
occupant, seeing the first man flat
on bis back under hie vehicle by
the roadside, stopped aud asked
what the trouble was.
The city man emerged and held
up the plow-point.
The blooming thing dropped off
inycar,” he said, “and I’ve been
h mtiiig for half an hour to flud
out where it belongs.”—Every
body’s Magazine.
