Remember that background, personality and appearance are of equal importance in the selection of the Maid of otton. 7. Be willing and able to make an international tour beginning early in January and lasting until July.

Agree, if selected as South * Carolina’s Maid of Cotton, to be in Memphis on the designated dates. The Maid of Cotton contest is a worthwhile project of every cotton growing county in the state.
