Ora Barnes is q
COTTON, above all others is the pooi
man's crop. It requires no big outlay foi
machinery like wheat or oats.
COTTON planting timer is here, and a
liberal acerage planted to cotton means lots
of money for you next fall, because it's usu-
ally a safe crop.
COTTON growers sometimes need to hire
extra help to keep down weeds and grass.
This may take more money than you expect-
ed for the year's work.
COTTON f armers like 'all others, can
^et money any. time at this bank to pro-
mote their farm work, and they will find it
their best friend at all times.
COTTON and live -tuck. are two good
things for you to grow, if you want to make
or save fftoney for yourself and those, depend-
ent upon you.

i tveek.
