Gentlemen:
The very interesting article on the
planting of better cotton has just
teen received from the extension de-
partment of A. and VI College and
shows that IT DOES PAY to raise
better cotton. There has been con
siderable cotton raised in the county
this year running from l-16th to
18TH inches and even better and
this information which comes from
Mr. John b. Beers. Cotton Specialist
of the Extension Service, at College
Station can be thoroughly relied up

The article follows
Premiums for cotton having sta
pie length of 1-16 inches and' bet

II is believed they will continue to
show improvement as the season pro-
Gesses. due To the fact that the
