What We Think
By FRANK DIXON
The Treasury Department has
called upon the people of the United
States in the Third War Loun for
the largest loan ever asked of any
people by any government in any
time of peace or war.
The Treasury Department arriv-1
ing at this amount has not asked for!
On The Farm Front
R. M. KNOX, County Agent
Stolen from the farmer—enough
cotton to equip 3,000,000 soldiers
and enough cottonseed products to
produce 105,000,000 head of beef.
This is one out of every 7 bales
stolen while the farmers were look-
ing; not in one day but in one year.
That is what has happened to the
cotton farmers this year.
What would we do should some
an excessive sum, when considered othcr country come in and take one
in relation to the needs and demands
of the war program. As a matter of
fact the fifteen billion asked for is
out of every seven bales of botton
we produce—which would mean that
. 3,000,000 soldiers left without equip-
the lowest amount the Treasury feels ment and that we would hftve to eat
it can get along with and'meet pre-
sent commitments.
We are predicting that the loan
asked for by the Treasury Depart-
ment, great as it is, will not only be
met in full but it will be over sub-
scribed. We incline to the belief for
a number of reasons.
In the interim that'* has elapsed
since the last drive people have be
come more bond conscious. Many
have adopted the regular habit of
buying a bond each
pay day.
105,000,000 pounds less of beef.
“Let’s fight them,” would be the cry
Let us fight them—not some other
nation but the boll weevil. He is the
thief that is stealing from the far-
mer. This fall is a good time to start
the campaign to win the war on this
insect which does millions of dollars
worth of damage to the cotton crops.
How can it be done? Destroy his
home and his food. That is a good
way to win any war. The boll
weevils’ homes are the old cotton
stalks and the weeds adjoining the

that the man of small means buys
relatively even more liberally. The
little that the small investor has is
more important to him than are sev-

safest and best investment offered
