Henderson County Farmers Going After State Cotton Prize
Only a few days remain for Henderson county farmers to enter the competition for the best five acres in cotton for which the Dallas News is to give a prize of $1000. A number of farmers have entered the Chamber of Commerce Contest that have not entered the State contest and an effort will be made to get them to compete for both prizes as the expense will be no greater.
All farmers who have entered both the State contest and the county contest will be entertained with luncheon here on May 29th by the Chamber of Commerce. At this luncheon Victor H. Schofelmayer, editor of the Semi-Weekly Farm News will be the principal speaker and an effort will be made to get other farmers interested in the contest.Secretary Cox invites every farmer who wants to enter the contest to be present for the luncheon.This will be the latest date at which entry can be made as the final date is June 1st.
Farmers who have entered the News Contest to date are: Brooks Davis, R. W. Robertson, Eustace;
W. T. Dunn, Mrs. S. H. Dickerson, Chandler; H. C. Dennis, W. E. Francis, G. L. Willis, Athens;
M. L. Miller, Brownsboro; H. H. Thornton, Malakoff.
