Listen to County Agent Pierce and Raise Your Own Home Supplies, Jan. 13, 1921

We wish every farmer in Halifax county could have heard Mr. W.A. Pierce’s speech last week before that large gathering of farmers and business men at Halifax. If the farmers will heed the advice given them by Mr. Pierce, it will not be many years before this county will be on a solid basis. Stop planting so much cotton and raise your home supplies. What will it amount to if cotton should sell for 40 cents a pound, if it takes all to buy your flour, meat and other supplies in some other part of the country.
