“The way to compete, not only
with competitors in the production
of cotton, but with the more seri
ous competition of synthetic fibers,
is to lower the spread between cost
of production and the selling
price”, Dean C. N. Shepardson de
clared. He recommended mechani
cal harvesting and cultivation as
one means of such reduction in
costs.
Dr. Ide P. Trotter, director, Tex
as A. & M. College Extension Ser
vice, gave a talk on the history
of cotton.
The six-week school is under the
direction of Dr. L. G. Jones, act
ing head of the Department of
Agronomy; James McCall Ward,
Farm Labor Bureau of the Exten
sion Service; Thomas G. Kilgore,
Dallas; and J. B. Bagley, pro
fessor of Cotton Marketing.

Your Child Will Enjoy a
Policy Maturing Early in Life
One of the happiest experiences that can come to a man is to find that one of his life insurance policies has
reached the end ojf the premium paying period or is maturing for its full value as an endowment.
What would it mean to you if one of your policies were to mature in cash or reach the fully paid up stage
for you tomorrow? Wouldn’t you take much pride in your foresight and thrift, and wouldn’t you be ever so
grateful to the person who encouraged you to take out the insurance years ago?
Action on your part today will bring that happy experience to your child, fifteen or twenty years from now.
A policy placed on his life now may mature or reach the paid-up period just about the time he is assuming
heavy family and business obligations of his own.
How thankful your child will be for your help in enabling him to enjoy the aid of a policy maturing
early in life!
