It is join only salvation, from Uig cotton crof manipulators. liaise your own itioa! fill your feed houses from your owi lands. Make sure of the r.ooessitim first, then you car. safely add unt? these your cotton crop. Hot insteac of the all important, let tho eolloj croD be a secondary consideration Don't bo a cottontot, Don't bo a cjain, Jietter fill your smojje house ^Vith the fat porker's hum.

I have been receiving lot lers from all over the state ioq jit i about it;people wanting to know where to get seed, when to plant how to cultivate, how to harvest, etc. 1 have not had practical experience, enough to write lip on it intelligently ns what little crop T made last year? the way I managed the small amount I had did not pay < xpei..-e.?, but. 1 Jammed enough to know that it is a ^ooo, paying money crop if properly tosnaged. J have no aeod for sale lint will d > tn plant as I cut mine on the green i?r.ler. f got my seed from a ifichjnond seedsman. They cost mo last year $1.(?0 per bushel, there. Th? time to plant is anytime from the first of April to the loth of M?y, the earlier the bet ler, in order to harvest the last of .luly. l! wii! then bo rpady for market in August. it is planted and worked just like sorghum oane. As tljeyeed begins to turn while the straw is green, cut olf about four incees of stalk with the top, then spread our 111 a house over the floor to cure, as it must l?o cured pi the shade.
