VERY TRUE

II has been demonstrated that this
county is cotton county II has also
been demonstrated that the valuable
long staple will grow here. II cotton
raleers In other states with 5000 to
$500 land knew that they could pro-
duce cotton equally as good on go
land they would sell and buy here.
Concerted action is needed. The
Columbus Courier will advertise the
county as COTTON county ms mucn
ms possible. hut IL needs more than
newspaper advertising. II requires the
widest kind Of illustrated advertising
People buvlng land must "be shown.
Illustrated booklets, and folders should
be mailed into every southern state
and Luna county should be made
known to the investor. 1t requires
capital aud experience to grow cotton
