r. l.. Wordlow, one of the best
farmers in this locality, who lives
four miles south of town on the Cole

last Friday and told us of the sue
cesses he had the past season with
new variety of cotton, known as
Half and Half"
Mr. Wordlow planted measured
four-acre tract in this variety and
has already gathered and ginned five
500-pound bales from it, and says the
tract yet contains at least two more
bales. He is keeping a careful rec
ord of the weights and as soon as the
cotton is all gathered will furnish US
the figures for publication.
The Half and Half" seed was first
introduced here by Will Holland, who
ordered a five-pound package and
planted it last season. The plant is
not only thrifty and well-fruited but
1880 pounds of seed cotton will make
