Save Cotton Seed

With cotton seed selling at $1 per bushel at the mills this fall there is no telling what price may be asked next spring for planting seed. More than that, the indications arethat there will be a shortage of seed in the spring. Leaders in Mississippi see the danger now and are urg- ing people to save planting seed from their own crop. The Ark ansas College of Agriculture has already been advised by well known cotton breeders of Miss issippi that they will have no seed for us and ask that no orders be referred to them.
 Let every Arkansas farmer pro- tect himfelf by saving an ample supply of cotten seed for plant ing purposes. They will not be injured if stored in lots of less than 5 bales. Save the seed you have.
