FARMERS & MERCHANTS BANK,
WARNING
To the People
of Forsyth County.
We have been informed that some parties are hauling
cotton seed from down somewhere in Milton county and
selling them to the farmers of Forsyth county under the
claim that they are Rucker cotton seed.
* We wish to say that this claim is..pot true. The seed
thus sold are perhaps third or fourth l6^ S‘lr 5 1 l ?ti%Tcer seed,
and we do not stand for them at all. We would not plant
them and we do not recommend them.
The seed we offer to the Forsyth county farmers are
grown this year from the best selected seed we had, and
they are not only well matured and carefully selected,
but, what is most important of all, they are thoroughly
culled by the best cotion seed grader ever made and we
consider that this thorough culling adds five times to
their value. The farmer who plants unculled cotton
seed does himself a great injustice.
If you desire Rucker’s Select No. 1 Cotton seed, fetch
your sacks to our warehouse in Alpharetta and get them
at $3.50 per bus 1 el. .
