Farmers Called TO Meet Next Satur-
day,

Anthracnose, or boil rot of cotton;
is causing loss to the cotton grow
ers OF the county of tens of thou
sands of dollars annually. This loss
can be eliminated, or practically so,
IL the farmers of the county will CO.
operate and plant only those va
rieties that are most resistant to this
disease. 1t is well known fact that
some varieties are more susceptible
to this disease than others, and that
these other varieties would be inl-
mune, or nearly so, but for the in
festion at the gins.
1t would be of great advantage
and prove profitable If the farmers
could agree to plant only those va
rieties giving an inch to an inch and
one-eighth staple. Cotton of this
length will bring one to one and one
half cents more per pound than will
the seven-eighth inch staple. Think
of the advantage and satisfaction of
knowing that you are keeping your
seed from getting mixed at the gin
with the shorter staple cotton, and
free from disease-carrying seed.
We want every cotton grower who
is interested in good seed. better
staple, and cotton that is free from
anthracnoce, and is willing to help
to eliminate this disease from the
county, to meet at the courthouse
next Saturday morning at eleven
o'clock, and lets talk this matter
over. We have prices on some ex-
cellent varieties for immediate ac-
ceptance, and IL you want bushel
or two as starter, come prepared to
give your order.--T. J. W. Broom.
