For these reasons I have decided
to run a September Special on all
small animals over six years of
age This special will consist of a
complete physical exam as well as
a full blood panel exam. Early de-
tection of problems not only gives
your pet a better quality of life but
also extends their life. This service
is optional.
Because of updated equipment
we are able to offer it for only forty
dollars per animal. Let’s give our

really mature. There is open cotton everywhere now, and lots of it. It
now looks hke we are facing an early start of harvest, probably 30 days
from now if we hurry it up with some harvest aid chemicals.
Not everything about premature opening of the cotton is good, but it
is better than a cool wet fall that never allows it to mature It has been
so long since we have had one of those bad falls that I really figured this

Cotton prices have gone up more that were reasonable to expect. Al-
most all of the cotton was priced on the way up so farmers won't get the
