M m m a m a a at a a a u a 11: &-v 1 The farmer i ho grows so much cotton that he has no room for a cow is neglecting a chance to make some easy money. If he would follow the cihice of the American Cotton As sociation, if he would plant fewer acres of cotton, use carefully selected seed and fertilize highly He would increase his production of lint cotton per acre, thereby maintaining the standard of supplies, hut reduc ing the net cost per pound; lie would have left acreage on his farm to keep cows, to raise hugs, to grow fruits and vegetables and grains. These would feed his family and give him enough extra cash so that he could store his cotton in the .system of w.iivhniisos advocated bv the American Cotton Associa tion 3nd get for it a fair and equitable price. This Iiank. first, last and all the time, is for the American Cotton Association's program of better cotton, higher prices, diversified crops and more money for all! THE BANK OF UNION W.
