Our young friend, Clint Summers
Jr.. of Autun, has recently made ar
experiment. that has proved success
and IL of great interest to the farmers
Last Fall Mr. Summers, like q greal
many other farmers in this section, had
G large number of partly cracked OF
unopened bolls of cotton in his fielde
and, instead Of letting them stay there
and rot, as usual, he determined tr
gather them. He pulled the bOlls
burr and Eli, from the stalks, and rur
them through the gin in the same
manner as tho regular seed cotton
No damage was done the gin, and the
boils turned out about thirty pounds OF
lint to one hundIed pounds of bolls
As the burrs go through with the st,sd
they are rat her trashy but make good
fertilizer. The lint, of course, ia of in
feriOr quality, but is valuable for
many purposes. On a 1871 cents mar
ket, Mr. Summers was offered 10 cents
