.. . TEAM WORK The Standing Together of the Farmers, Merchants, Bankers and Manufacturers Is Absolutely Essential If We Are to Win the Kght Against the Boll Weevil, Prom ihe results of our Company’s experience operating Oil Mills from North Carolina to Texas, we have found that when the boll weevil hits a section our mills in that particular section remain idle most of the year, and many cease operation altogether. The Oil Mills' and the rarmers’ interests are identical. If our mills are idle it means that the farmers have made a failure'with their cotton crop. We do not advise anyone to quit cotton out we do advise putting at least naif of his money ~rop to peanuts. Peanuts nave fol lowed the boll weevil all the way from Texas to Georgia, and everyone knows their substantial money value. On account of the high prices for tobacco and no boll weevil to contend with, the Virginia and North Carolina planters of pea* nuts are giving them up for cotton and tobacco This decrease in acreage in North Carolina and Virginia indicates that it is going to he almost impossible to have anything above a normal production, which would indicate that the price will remain high. We have had a very mild winter and we are getting reports now that the weevil has never gone into winter quarters and is raising in frost-bitten bolls right in the field. So it looks as if he would be ready for the first squares. This is our strong ap peal to you to make room for a larger peanut acreage. Remember, to discredit the boll weevil’s ability to destroy your cotton crop is dangerous. We are pioneers in the peanut business in this section. We buy peanuts and ship them to our Georgia plants in any quanti¬ ty all the way from Virginia to Mississippi, therefore you can be assured.of a market for vour peanuts at all times. We have selected and set aside choicest peanuts for planting purposes. We have them on sale at our plant, and, for the con venience of the trade, we propose putting them on sale throughout the section. Write us for prices and any information we can give you in regard to planting, cultivation and harvesting. We strongly advise the use of fertilizer in raising peanuts. We want our customers and the public generally to call on us for anv information we can give. Our offices are open to every farmer. Come and let us advise with you for a larger peanut crop. We have studied the business; you are welcome to any help we can give you. For Planting Seed see A. J. Evans, Local Agent. THE SOUTHERN COTTON OIL CO. W. S. ROBERTS, Mgr.
