Big Prizes for Corn and Cotton Crops.
There is still time for the farmers to get in line for the big prizes, amounting in all to $10,000, offered by the Texas Industrial Congress. April 1 is the last day on which entries in the contest will be received. Many of our farmers have already prepared their ground for this season's crops, and some of them have planted their seed. They should write to Dallas and have their names enrolled as contestants and let their corn and cotton work for them. Any one of the big prizes will make them independent, and there are twenty-nine in all. The first prize of $1000 in the boys' and girls' class will pay for an education, and the $2500 first prize for the men would buy a farm that would make the owner comfortable for life. If you fail to get the first prize you still have a chance at the others. But a few days longer and this great opportunity will be gone. Never before in the history of the state have the men, women, boys and girls of Texas had such a chance to become independent merely by making a little greater effort in the cultivation of a few acres of land. Write a letter to the Texas Industrial Congress at Dallas today, stating that you will enter the contest and that you will cultivate two acres of corn and two acres of cotton, if you are under twenty years of age, or ten acres of cotton and ten acres of corn, if you are over twenty years old, in competition for these money prizes. It will cost you nothing to do this, and it may mean a small fortune for you. You will never regret it, but tomorrow will be too late.
