Season

DALTON. Ga. Sept. 1s.-Eighteen bales
OF cotton. the forerunner OF tn elocal
cotton season. were brought to Dalton

September 4
With what they thought the biggest
cotton crop in the history of the coun-
~ within their grasp. the farmers have
been considerably disappointed. for, ac-
cording to estimates made by leading
farmers of the county, fully one-third
Of the crop has dropped of. In spite of
this. however. the. crop win be a fairly
good one.
Farmers throughout the county are
busy picking the product. but while some
will bring their cotton in and sell it,
there is an organized effort on the
part Of the members of the Farmers
union to hold the cotton for higher
prices.
The damage to the crop is mainly
the result of weather conditions during
the month OF August and the first OF
September. In addition to this. the
cotton caterpillar appeared in a num-
Der of fields. While II damaged the crop
to a certain extent, 1t did no great
amount OF harm.
