Some farmers are buying fine
mules. Well I say fine, they
ought to be. The price now for
common young mules is from
$l5O to S2OO. Pretty good price
for mules and cotton still below
10 cents. If good young mules
were SIOO and cotton 10 cents it
would look more like live and let
live. If a mule is worth $l5O
cotton ought to be 15 cents. If
a mule is worth S2OO then cotton
ought to be 20 cents a pound. If
corn or meal is 50 cents a bushel
then cotton will sorter do at 10
cents. I think prices should be
in proportion. But they are not
ami the best way to do in the
future to get everything bal
anced up and in proportion and
in good shape is to make the
farm self supporting. Try rais
ing our mules, corn and in fact
all we need on the farms. By
so doing then our cotton crop
will be a surplus crop and we all
will be ok. But unless we make
the needed change in running ouj
farms to advantage they will run
down and times will*l>e no better
I know men who make from 15
to 20 bales of cotton every year
and by January or February they
are out of money and have to
borrow or buy on a credit. Buy
corn, buy meat, buy hay, and buy
fodder and are all the time in
debt. Now these things should
not be. But it is the case. Why
not face about and turn before
it is too late and before you lose
al] you have and put yourself
and family into bondage forever
May something cause us all to
turn and live on the farm.
