Mr. Sanford Haigler told us that
smoking a pipe would ward off the
"flu." We hastened to purchase a
nine and some tobacco, and started
smoking. Presently, a small explo
sion occurred in (he bowl of it. and
sparks and ashes were thrown in my
face and on my clothes. On exami
nation, the writer discovered that a
grain of pop corn had got mixed with
the tobacco. When It tot hot it nat
urally exploded, and caused all of the
commotion. For the time being II
drove all thoeght of contracting the

j The Cotton Farmer's Cow
The farmer who grows so much cotton that he has no room
5 for a cow is neglecting a chance to make some easy money.
If he would follow the advice of the American Cotton As
sociation, if he would plant fewer acres of cotton, use
carefully selected seed and fertilize highly
as
He would increase his production of lint cotton per acre,
thereby maintaining the standard of supplies, but reduc
ing the net cost per pound;
He would have left acreage on his farm to keep cows, to
raise hogs, to grow fruits and vegetables and grains.
These would feed his family and give him enough extra
cash so that he could store his cotton in the system of
warehouses advocated by the American Cotton Associa
tion and get for it a fair and equitable price.
This Rank, first, last and all the time, is for the American
Cotton Association's program of better cotton, higher
prices, diversified crops and more money for all!

Now is the time to make your choice between
the low cost of kerosene and the high cost of
feed; the scarcity of labor and the independ
ence of labor; a slow, sweating team plowing
one acre a day and a fast moving tractor plow
ing 8 to 10 acres a day; minimum and maxi
mum farm production; farming at a profit and
farming at a large profit.
Be a progressive farmer. .Equip yourself with
a FORDSON TRACTOR and approved farm
implements. Place your order now. There
will be a big shortage in the Spring.
