Half Your Living
A right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most farmers in the
South. We are all facing a crisis.
This war in Europe puts things in
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree of
clearness, '
The sure and certain increase in
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost of all food and
grain products is high, so high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's a time above all others to gl:z
safe; to Produco all possible f
grain forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill,
A good plece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living., It will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres of cotton you
ever grew!

By Uncle Sam When He Tried to En.
list in Marine Corps Although
Born ‘in United States.
Waskington, D. C.—The solution of
the paradox, “When is an American
not an American” has just been dis
covered by Benno Wieler, born in Ne
braska, and more recently engaged
as a farmer in Canada.
Wiéler went to Canada some years
ago and, in order to obtain a patent
on a farm there, became a natural
ized citizen of Great Britain. A few
weeks ago he returned to this coun
try and tried to enlist in the United
States Marine Corps but was rejected
as an alien. The Secretary of Labor
was appealed to and decided that
Wieler would be required to go
through the same procedure as a for
eigner in order to again become a cit
zen of the United States, which he
did and was enlisted today.
Wieler said he would not change
nationalities again for a farm.
