GREAT COTTON COUNTRY

age S4S per bale, making the total
value of the crop Sis, 600. 90, said
S. B. Locke today. Mr.. Locke is
one of the largest cotton buyers in
Indian Territory and Is probably
as well posted as any cotton man
in the erritory.
Last year there were aga, 900
bales of cotton raised in Indian
Territory. This year there has been
a small increase in average and also
a slight increase in the yield. These
two things make Mr.. Locke believe
the total yield this season will be
gas. 900 bales. On October 10 there
was heavy frost in the territory
that damaged the cotton crop very
mater ally. Had it not been for this
the crop would have been $4,000
bales more at least. One farmer
came to Town AMI stated that on
forty acres he would get but FIVE
bales Of cotton, whereasif the frost
had not killed il he would have
COTTON at least twenty-five bales.
This is an extreme case, but it
shows what the frost did to the
bottom land fields. 1t also points
Enthusiastically to the real issue in
cotton growing in Indian Territory.
There must be an earlier grade Of
cotton planted here in order to keep
frost from killing it. Every year
there Is moie or less cotton lost by
frost coming too early for It. When
il is a late season, as this year was
the damage Is heavy.
