So alluring have been the prices of
fered for cotton seed this season that
many farmers have reduced their sup-
nly of seed for planting purposes to a
dangerously narrow margin. These
fanners are making a big mistake. In
some eases enough seed has been re
served for only one planting, while it
frequently happens that two and some
times three plantings are necessary to
get a stand. If tho seasons should not
hit right next spring, these farmers
will find themselves in a close place, as
seed will be scarce and the price out
of sight.
