Crops in Autauga

the state department of agriculture and
 industries, in an interview today said that
 the crops in Autauga county this year were better than they had been in years
 The judge is a loyal son of Autauga and he thinks that that rich county Is in every way able to cope in an agricul- tural way with other counties in the state
 Judge Wilkinson said that he had re- gently visited one of the plantations near Prattville, one portion of which was regarded as three-mule farm. He said that up to the present time 42 bales of cotton had been gathered off of 43 acres Of this place, and that enough cotton re- rnained to average more than a bale to the acre.
 In addition to the cotton Judge NillSin- son said that 1700 bushels of corn had
 been raised on the place, and enough
 pea vines to supply 10 heads of stock for one year. There has also been raised
 on the place 500 or 600 bushels of pota-
 toes and a large quantity of hay. Judge Wilkinson said that there was also a three-acre tract of land on this plantation on which had been raised
 mere than five bales of cotton, with an- other picking yet to be made, which will possibly make two bales to the acre when the whole crop is gathered The judge, however, does not think that
 this plantation is an exception in Au- tauga county. On the other hand, he
 said that there were many othSr places in the county where the crops were just as good, and that on the whole Autauga
 county, though modest in the matter of advancing its claims, was nevertheless
 one of the richest agricultural counties in the state.
