Demonstration Club
Has Joint Meeting
All growers or others holding old
cotton on their farms are urged by
Agent Jameson to list their cotton
with his office at once if they have
not already done so, as August 1st
is the last date for tagging old cot-
ton, thereby making it exempt from
the Bankhead tax.
Cotton stored in war6h»dses and
cotton yards in the county has al-
ready been tagged, but if any grow-
er has cotton on his farm that has
not been listed with the county
agent's office, he should write coun-
ty Agent Jameson at once, telling
him where the cotton is located and
how many bales of old cotton that
he has so that the tagger can visit
his farm and affix the bale tags
for the old cotton.
