general results they stand second
to Brooks in' the present contest as

In mineral county exhibit Bar
tow won the first premium, $500;
in individual mineral display she
won the first premium, $100; in

won the third premium, $500; in
the agricultural individual dis
play she won the third premium,
SIOO, making a grand total of
iii,2oo, and, in addition, special

Roundiap Bale Advantages-
It is to the fanner’s advantage
to patronize the roundiap gin for
these and other reason:
Because it costs him nothing
except the ginning charge to have
his cotton put up in roundiap bales.
Because it costs him nothing to
sell his cotton after it is baled,
roundiap bales being bought at
gin weights and without having to
be resampled.
Because the farmer can take his
roundiap bales home, if he desires,
and keep them without expense
until he is ready’to sell, with the
certainty that when he wants to
sell they will bring the highe t
msrket price. Every bale pu p
at a roundiap ginnery is samp and
before it leaves the press and u.
number, weight, and grad*- aie
recorded. The farmer who holds
his cotton in roundlap bales can
find out exactly what it is worth
on any day, by telegraphing, tel
ephoning, writing to or calling at
the roundlap plant where it was
ginned. He can sill his roundlap
bales any day on any market,mak
ing delivery within a reasonable
time thereafter.
If the farmer wants to borrow
money on his cotton the American
Cotton Company will make iiberal
advances on roundlap bales at fa
vorable rates.
Besides the money he makes, the
farmer who hauls his cotton to a
roundlap gin saves time and trou
b'eand has his cotton put up in a
bale that is more acceptable to the
spinner lhan any other cotton
package made.
