We call attention to tho classified
«d In this paper of L. M. Johnson,
well known Ash Grove farmer, six
nnd a half miles north of McKlnney.
Mr. Johnson Is advertising for sale,
I2'il) pounds of lying Staple Snow
Flake cotton seed, which he offers to
the farmers who wish to plant It, at
the prlco of six cents per pound. Mr.
Johnson raised this cotton seed him-
self last year on deep, black, waxy
Collin county land, (in six seres he
had planted, he sold three bales that
a'.eiUKeil mon than lnno pounds seed
copoii inch. Hi1 carefully caught and
saved tile seed. The yield of the long
staph cotton was equal per acre tn
that of other common varieties of cot-
ton raised in Collin county. Yet he
sold it for from L'"i to :!.1 I II por cent
more per potiml than the commonly
grown varli lies of cotton in this enun-
i\ demanded, lie sold Ills long staple
Milton at I Of per pound In McKlnney.
11 c no more difficult to grow here in
our I lack land soil than other kinds
difficult to pick. He Is well pleased
with his experiment in rmslng It and
expects to plant some of it every your.
He also wants to enlist the Interest of
his brother farmers in growing it bo-
cause lie believes that It is to their ad-
vantage to plant a part of their cotton
crop acreage in It every year.
Mr. Johnson sees no reuson wh>
'•ollln county cannot become u greet
l.ong Staple cotton producing county
and he believes It will if the farmers
will plant It.
