Whether to plant STAPLE COTTON SKF-D, or
depend longer on half and h: if" is a question now being
agitated by farmers and merchants alike.
A farmers successful expermece in raising cot-
ton should be his best guidt in this matter. However
there is a serious probability that another large cotton
crop will make a greater difference in the selling price
of short cotton and staple cotton than has bev-^too r1 been
riade. This should be seriously considered by Uv farm-
er before he risks his years work pd hah"' col-
ton.
The winner of the 1925 DALLAS NEWS COT-
iON CONTEST wis Mr. G. Mont Adams, of Smith Co..
and he raised staple cotton—MEBANE TRIUMPH. We
believe it will pay to plant good staple cotton, and if thi-
section needs it are willing to finance one or more cars ol
CERTIFIED MEBANE SEED. We can also secure soim
<i;ood ROWDEN SEED.
We will be glad to talk COTTONSEED needs
With all of our customers, and invite them to come in
right away if they have not already made arrangements
for planting seed.
