Mr.. Editor
Did you ever see a cotton patch as
white as cotton? Cotton Is the staple
crop and the farmer who has no cotton
has no crop. In this little city there
are two cotton yards and the yards
containing about an acre EACH are
full Of bales. These bales will weigh
between 500 and 800 pounds each and
four Of them standing edgewise will be
load for an ordinary wagon bed. Here
are two clippings relative 10 the pro-
duction Of cotton:
"A stalk Of cotton was exhibited at
Abilene from an irrigated farm east Of
own that showed 30 well developed
bolls and 1866 blooms and squares. II
is estimated that this field will make a
bale per acre"
-. r. Robinson. a farmer living
near Lone Cedar, in the southern part
Of Ellis county. says he has gathered
five bales Of cotton from five acres Of
land this season.
The country is comparatively level

ornamented with cuthowers and smilax,
The party amused themselves with

everything was perfect. After the ban
