A TO FARMERS.
Editor
I beg the use of your columns to
speak to my brother farmers.
While the weather has been bitter
cold tobacco has been advancing
about per cent since Jan. 4th.
Lookout for the pin hooker fool
All the warehouses swarm
with them. The r are alive
with them, this snowy weather, call-
on every farmer who has any
leaf tobacco and buying it at per
cent below what it would bring on
the Greenville market.
August I advised you to buy
and store the raw leaf, that when the
trust needed it they would pay you
a profit for it. Now the trust took
warning from the protest
against low prices and is paying a
fair price for our tobacco. Probably
this is to get us to sow plant beds.
I will admonish you not to bite at
the trust bait by putting in another
large crop of tobacco.
You know that the lion invited
the small animals to his dangerous
den. When they had once accepted
his bait, or got near, he grabbed
and devoured them Just so the
trust devoured your tobacco last
season.
Plant some tobacco, but do not
get wild over present prices. Re-
member the many sleepless hours
you have to spend around your
and that old back when you
have to set out the plants. You
will have to spend cents for a
plaster to get your back in
gear.

Well this cotton cost the manufacturer eighty e
