 Jackson's s Lmbless Cotton has ere ated more talk throughout the cotton growing world than al other varieties combined, There has been over 5000 people from nearly every state in the union to visit the farm of Mir. Jackson and they are unanimous in their opin- ion that it is the most wonderful and pro luctive cotton in the world. Not a limb on it, it grows from 4 to Is feet high, planted from 6 to 10 inches apart, rows from 3 to feet wide and has from 10 to 100 bols to the stalk, so any one can see why it will make from 1 to , bale per acre. The staple is white and silky and much lonfer than common cotton, and brings much higher price, and it can be ginned on all ordi- nary gins. Yesterday very promi- nent farmer from Mississippi said: 'sl have oJten heard cotton was king. but Inever realized 1t so fully until today, when standing in the five acre cotton patch on Mr Jackson's farm"
 Every farmer that goes to see it is impressed with the idea, not whether he wants to bny these seed, but the fact he must do it to protect himself and make a success of raising cotton at.present prices. This eatton patch is guarded day and night, but every .4s..ar''h'aia an inyitatjon to come and see thisysso1aSterf41 cotton.
 A syndicate of New York men have bGs*lt most of this cottou and they proTssesto plant every one of their seed.

All seeds are put up with full directions for planting. He has adopted this plan of distributing the seed so the merchants can order for their customers or any one can make $50 profit by selling l60 packages. With each box containing 160 packages of seed he puts in one large photo; graph of the Jackson cotton patch with negroes picking it, and circulars giving the history about this wonder ful cotton testimonials from R. T. Nes- bit, the commissioner of Agriculture of Georgia and J. $.
