cash. In addition to the above the
Constitution offers $2,500.00 to be di-
vided equally among those estimates,
not taking any of the 203 cash prizes,
that come within thousand bales
either way from the exact figure. In
the Constitution cotton crop contest
that closed in August, there were two
estimates that came within the prize
limit on the consolation award and
these prizes amounted to $4,000 each
In the present case the amount each
prize estimate will receive from the

of estimates that come within the
1000 bale limit.

the Constitution offers prizes ranging
from $2,500.00 to 81 900 90 to be added

exact estimate be given during the
contest. These last prizes vary accord
ing to the month in which the exact
estimate may be filed, if any should
be filed.
Prepare your estimates at once and
send them in. The September extra
prize is 100000 and this will be a
nice sum to add to the $4,000 first
prize in case you should file an exact
estimate during September. Should
your estimate not be exact and yet
Should come within 1000 bales in
either direction from the exact figure,
you will certainly get some OF the
money.
