DR.. n. E. V. Mayer, WI farming
at the Deans place about Two miles
northeast of the city, planted cotton
this ear having in mind to max
three bales to the acre On Wayne
county land. He has o accomplish
ed this, but in view of the shortness
of the crop on account of the dry
season it is thought his having made
one and one-half bales to the acre is
pretty good.
Cotton has been a little lower the
past few days, but the market opened
UP today stronger and the staple
fetched 10 cents per pound. Some few
lots touched a fraction higher.
