DECREASED YIELD is OFFSET
BY THE INCREASE IN THE
PRICE.
$50 BALES IN THE COUA !
But viii Bring to the Farmers More
Than 500 Bales Did in 1e14-Was
Cut Somewhat by Severe Drouth
This Year.

Maury county's cotton yield this
year will be very much less than it
was last year. In the opinion of Sec
rotary Embry, Of the Columbia Cotton
Mill Company, who is probably better
informed regarding the cotton crop Of
the county than any one else, the
yield Of the county this year will be
approximately $50 bales. 1t was
about 500 bales last year. The esti.
mate for this years crop is largely
speculation at this time and is based
upon the amount of seed obtained for
planting.
The crop last year was the largest
grown in the county in many years,
there being about 500 bales produced.
The crop this year will, however,
bring the farmers more money than
that of last year, the difference in the
price making bale now worth al
most as much as two bales were
worth year ago. The crop is bring
ing the farmers close to eleven cents
pound, which is considered a good
price.
Less cotton was grown this yeal
in the Culleoka section than has beer
produced there in several years bu
at other places in the county, Mr.. EN-
brey says the yield will be increased
Cotton has not been big crop in thi
county in many years, being grown
largely by small tenant farmers. Ii
