In 1 his time of stress when all
farmers are trying to wor!: out of a
depression, it is essential that funn
ing as a busines hould be looked up
on from u business basis.
It is necessary to diversify, for
diversification always has been a
paying proposition even before the
boll weevil came and especially so i.i
relation to the production of home
supplies.
Diversification, however, is not
the whole solution unless the yields
of the crops are profitable. It can
not be expected that a farm opera
tor can just diversify und expect to
work out of this serious situation.
It requires more than that. It re
quires that the yields shall be suffi
ciently high to pay costs of produc
tion and lave a profit. Low yields
are very often the cause of com
plaint that prices do not pay costs
of production.
Cost surveys as conducted by the
United States Department of Agri
culture show that with increased
yields the costs of production per
! bushel or pound or a product de
creases und that the products per
acre increase. It is necessary there
fore to look well to ypur yields to
determine whether «r not they are

At a very enthusiastic meeting
held at .lie Canton Baptist Church
last Sunday afternoon, the Canton
Chapter of the Men’s Co-operative
Association of Cherokee County was
Charter

per lust week, this association is the
outcome of a movement among th»
men of our County for a higher
standard of Christian citizenship and
the Canton Chapter is the second to
he organised thus far, the Wood-
stock Chapter having been organis
ed several days ago. The gathering
of men nt the Canton Church Sun
day can be taken as very convincing
evidence that this association is to
he us great a success as was antici
pated. Men prominent in the.affairs
of every church of the town were
of the church for the rest of the
time. Members of other Missionary
Societies are especially iivvted to
hear these speakeers.

Nothing is so annoying as p cough; nothing can make a person
feel so utterly miserable as a cold; and, whether it be a simply
corza that keeps you constantly using your handkerchief, or one of
those wracking, deep-seated coughs, don’t delay getting relief.
Many a person has said: “Oh, it’s only a little cold,” and by
their neglect have been forced to fight Death off with all the aid
medical men and science could give them.
The minute you know you have “taken cold,” come and see us.
If the cold has taken a good hold on you come immediately. We
have sure cures for coughs and colds.

COTTON. A yield under 200 lbs.
of lint cotton costs 11.8 eentu a
pound; from 200 to 300 lbs. lint,
9.1 cents a pound; from 300 to 400
lbs. lint, 7.8 cents a pound; and for
400 pounds and over, 7.5 cents a
pound. The average coats per acre
was $34.51. The boll weevil, of
course, increase the cost even if the
cotton is protected. The census re
turns of 1920 show that the average
yield of Cherokee county was 265
lbs. of lint.
CORN: The same Government in

producing corn was as follows:

Quoting from the above publica-

Some reader has in his mind the
question of markets. All marketing
associations well managed will cer
tainly help in the matter of distribu
tion and prices. However, no mark

high costs per bushel or pound on
account of low acreage yields into u

Did you ever hear of a “sipping fund”? It goes by various names,
but that is a good one. It means a part of the profits set aside for
a certain purpose.
When times are good or just- normal, set aside every month a part
of your profits, letting it accumulate in your bank. It will draw
interest, and some day when businss is very bad that sinking fund
will come in handy.
