BALDWIN COTTON WILL
AVERAGE HALF CROP

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. Oct. ia
With the season far advanced it now
seems a certainty that the cotton crop
in this section of the state will not
average more than half of last seasons
production. Milledgeville is the mar
ket for nearly all the product of five
counties and the receipts are not more
than half of last years total to date
and ginneries declare that not half as
much has been ginned to date.
There is certainly not half as much
cotton in the field as there was at this
time a year ago. and in fact, many are
of the opinion that gathering is much
more advanced, comparatively speak
ing than at this time last season. The
general opinion is that the crop will
be about half the normal and better
prices are expected for the remainder
of the crop.
