In Eastern Texas is even more serious thar;

that Il viii take from ten TO fifteen acres
to make a bale and in other places from
seven to ten acres to make bale The
drouth has been much more severe than we
were led TO believe. From half a dozen
places we have reports today that the gins
can not be operated because of the scarcity
