SEVEN BALES TO THE ACRE

Last week we made mention of a
stalk of cotton off of one of Jos.
Cotulla's farms that contained 3S6
bolls and squares. Thursday an
other stalk was brought in from
Mr.. Cotulla's Rock Waterhole
Farm that was sight to see. The
stalk was about six feet high and
very rank and every limb was
weighted down with fruit. 1t con-
tains 237 grown bolls, besides a
great number of squares. 1t Is es-
timated that it takes about so good
bolls to the stalk per acre to make
a bale, and at this rate, were all of
MIR. CotullaS cotton as good as this
sample stalk he would be good for
Z bales to the acre. But of course
it will not near average up to this,

ulla says there is not an insect of
any kind in his cotton, not even a
leaf orm.-Cotulla Record.
