Somebody will gel th< money, it does not go back to the The Constitution by any means. Those who solve the problem at the longest range will receive proportionately the highest prizes, as you notice the figures grow less as the time expires and because the number of bales received up to certain dates, as the tine advances, can be known exactly, leaving shot ter time and probabilities to figure against. In all three of the cases submitted it is distinctly understood that, should more than one correct or equally correct estimate he filed 111 the contest, the amount of the prizes so earned will he divided equally among the correct answers. The prizes are otlercd in cash. There is no "missing word" in this, no probability for soinerone to know absolutely the correct answer, but this ?? brain versus brain, skill versus skill, pencil versus pencil, figures versus figures. Every tnan is interested in the cotton crop, the amount of the crop vaurs the puce and the piice of cotton in our territory is the barometer of the people's prosperity, i ii On Such a Vital Problem You Ought to Hake Figures. THE CONTEST CLOSES SEPT4" 1st The estimate is to be made upon tbe total United States Cotton Crop for 1897-98, the crop that has already been gathered and is now in tbe country as official figures oi receipts will show it from Sept. I, 1S97, to >ept. I, lSi)S This is not the crop that it to be planted this spring, because the hguies thereon will not be obtainable uutil Sept. I, 1899. It is lor tbe crop already in and marketed, official figures of which will be announced in September. As a guide for making your estimate we give official figures for each of the last ten crops. The conditions under which this last crop was grown and its probable output ate elements for you to compute from and will aid in the correctness of your present estimate.
