These gins will be operated under
government supervision, the govern
ment having furnished the seed plant
ed in the valley, and the seed will be
saved for planting next year. There
will then be no dearth of seed, the
$50 acres of the long staple cotton
now growing being ample to meet all
possible demands
Everybody connected with the grow

pleased with the prospects, and it
looks as though on many farms there
would be gross yield Of at least 500

This places the cotton industry SC
