and economical as possible. You can do this by feeding
Cotton Seed Meal and Hulls
Found by experiment to be the best balanced ration for all kinds of stock. Meal and
hulls for sale or exchange the year around-we are always on the job. It will pay you to
exchange. We will give you
5250 lbs. Hulls and 1000 lbs. Meal for
-One Ton of Good, Sound Seed.
You may have the privilege of taking meal and hulls out as you want them, in case
your storage room is scarce and we will protect you fro mloss in case of fire.
We are here to serve you 365 days in the year and give you a square deal every
time. Ask us questions—we are pleased to explain.
