GROW SOME COTTON

GROW SOME COTTON this
year. 1t is the best money crop that
can be produced in Henderson coun-
ty for the farmer as a whole. You
might have grown too much last year
but you should be able to decide it,
and cut down until you have BAL
ANCED your system of farming. We
know farmers who tried to ''clean up
on high priced cotton last year. We
also know spectators who tried to do
the same thing. From a financial
standpoint, one is just as bad as the
other. Work out a rotation for your
farm and then your worries about
what the price of cotton is going to
be will be less. You will have some
thing to sell more than once a year.
