Prepare your land well, manure well and plant a variety that

Two years ago I a peck of seed, planted them on half an
acre of land and picked a bale of cotton that weighed pounds,
shipped this cotton through Mr. B. J. Cobb together with several
other bales of good variety and this bale sold for three eights of a cent
more per pound the lot. The lint is far superior to any cotton
sold on this market and the yield is far ahead of anything we have in
this country. Numbers of the best farmers in the county saw my
crop growing in the field and pronounced it as line as they ever saw.
