DOLLAR \ YEAR

sons are favorable and the cultivation
&C cd. 1t will give out 500 pounds of
lint from 1850 to 400 pounds of seed
cotton, and from that about % or 80
bushels of cotton seed. These are
worth from 20 to so cents per bushel
f. o. b. for the cotton oil mills. The
cost of raising and marketing this
cotton is at least one-third, or more,
less than the Sea Island varieties,
and leaves much larger margin for
profit. 1t is ginned on the regular
short cotton saw gins, and a good
ginnery will take the seed cotton
from the wagon, by suction, and de-
liver you well ginned and packed
bale every twenty minutes.
Anyone who now has long staple
gin and plant can put in so saw gin
and press to match for quite a small
cost, and until the planting becomes
large one such gin conveniently
located could gin the crop. When it
becomes more general, then gins in a
number of communities will be need
ed and no doubt erected, for they
make good profit ginning at 81 per
500 pound bale, when they can keep
busy through the season. When the
amount of cotton raised is sufficient,
then we can put in an oil mill, and
utilize the seed for Oil, cotton-seed
meal and hulls.
Now, l want every farmer in the
county to go into it. Not depend
entirely Oh it, for / believe thorough
ly in diversifying crops Make all
the grain and provisions you need,
and some to spare, but make a start
on the short cotton, and enlarge as
you see how it succeeds. If the cot
ton is planted the gin will be erected,
and in time the mill. 1t will revolu-
tiOnize things in this county, once it
is gone into right. 1t will bring pros
perity, increase the value of farm
lands, as well as bring good settlers
TO the county. Try the Simmons
silk seed, and let Us build up the
farming interests and with it every
other industry. l have great con-
fidence in it. L. T.. 1.
