Cotton Growers Say
2% Ceresan For Better Yields!
Increase Cotton returns by planting seeds treated with
2% Ceresan. Official tests show average yield in
creases ranging from $6.30 to $13.08 an acre. 2%
Ceresan reduces seed rotting, damping off, makes
stands more uniform, controls certain seed-borne dis
eases. Be sure your seed has this protection. One

fj BY TOM KINNEY
Monday night Covington basketball fans will have
another tournament on their hands. It is the Invitation
tourney this time. Fifteen teams are entered and if
anyone doesn’t like the tourney they are outnumbered.
We are not given to overplaying the home team
but by all means we believe in giving them benefit of
all doubts. Thus the local Athletic Club is placed on
the well known spot.
The biggest factor in offsetting the Covington team’s
play is their lack of practice. The local club is studded
with outstanding talent but then what good is a wife that
can’t cook?
If the CCC team plays the FFA outfit in the finals
it might take another Democratic election to get them
separated.
If all the girls that played in the recent Yellow River
League tourney attend the Invitation meet, the officials
will be assured of a full house.
For eight years this reporter has ben covering basket
ball games and tournaments. For a while, since coming
to Covington, we grew ill wm
cold on the court game. m ■

Local fans saw plenty of rough action in the Yellow
