We notice that farmer writing in
one of our farm papers says that farm
ers make more clear money on 500
bale of cotton than they made on two
bales last year, and figures it out this
way: Last year two 500-pound bales at
&c per ponnd brought $40, less ST. so per
bale for picking, $l.25 for hauling and
1925 for ginning, bagging and ties, S11
IN all. or S22 for both bales. In other
words, if two bales at &c pound was
worth $40, it cost S22 to put it on the
market. leaving balance of S4S. This
year one bale at l2c will bring $50. less
Sll to put it on the market, leaving a
balance of $40. This is not counting the
seed, which still further increases the
farmer $ balance So according to these
figures half q crop Of cotton this wear
Will bring the farmer more money than
he got last year and he had more time
TO attend to other crops.
