From my own knowledge I
can sav that the Rucker Select
No. 1 cotton is the best 1 have
ever seen. It rolls up the bank
accounts for the farmers. It is
early, c lean, high linting and
prdifie and the lint is very fine.
• This cotton will surely com
mend itself to the farmer who
desires to make the'most clear
money on the least number of
acres.

Alpharetta, Ga., Oct. 26, ‘lB.
! To whom it may concern :
I have been farming
" ;:li ad my life, and I desire to
say that Rucker’s Select No. 1
is by far the best cotton I have
ever seen. It is very early mak
es more seed cotton to the acre
•and turns out more lint than
otfoit. TTie farmers
in this section who have raised
this Rucker cotton are loud in
their praises of it and declare
they will have no other. There
can be no doubt that this cot
ton brings more clear profits
than any cotton ever grown in
this section.
If you have a doubt about
which is the best cotlon, write
to any farmer that you know in

What Mayor Gardner of
Alpharetta Says:
Alpharetta, Ga., Oct. 9, ‘lB.
To whom it may concern:
The Rucker cotton is the best
in the world. I believe this is
true without a doubt. Although
this has been anything but a
good cotton year, I am getting
8 large bales off of 8 acres plan
ted in the Rucker cotton.
This cotton is earlier than oth
er varieties, bolls stick all over
the stalk, and one can pick one
third more of it in a day than
he can pick of other varieties
Not only do you get more seed
cotton from an acre but when
you go to the gin you get from
40 to 50 per cent of beautiful,
creamy lint that is onj metier
more in length.**’
I have not heard a single ob
jection raised to the Rucker
colon and ! believe that well
J nigh all the farmers in this sec
tion will grow it in 1919.
At present prices of cotton I
believe it will pay to plant the
Rucker cotton seed even if they
