The Board of Trade is in receipt
of two very fine stalks of cotton

, Commerce. Mr. l&irnian tells us that
' he has several acres of this fine cot-
ton, and that it Was planted on the
28th day of May. One of the stalks
bear 84 well developed boils besides
several that have not bloomed out.
Mr. Harman is a progressive far-
mer, and one of those who believes in
farm management; jft-ork and live at
home. We appreciate this nice sam-
ple of cotton which shows that all a
farmer has to do is to become a real
business farmer to make good.
