Largest Cotton Crop
on Record.

The Department Of Agriculture
estimates the 1914 cotton crop at
100000 bales. This is the
largest production in the history
of the cotton industry. The 1911
crop held the record to the present
year, with production Of 1885,
701 bales. It is estimated that
there is at least two million bales
in the field, much of it deserted
by discouraged farmers and which
will probably never be gathered
The 1914 crop also ranks among
the largest in production per area,
averaging 208 pounds per acre
and reaches the low water mark
in price. Tho price officially es'
timated for the 1914 crop is six
cents per pound against an aver
age price of y cents per pound
in 1918 and a production OF 182
pounds per acre.

is due to the fact that it was
found that these lands would pro-

did you know that the crop that
has caused Florida lands to sell

traceable to the fact that oranges
are grown successfully there?
And did you know thatit is no
longer an experiment, but a
demonstrated fact that the cut

grow Satsuma oranges success
fully? The Satsuma is general
