ANNISTON

Anniston February 23.-(SpeciaI.)- Based on careful estimates there are now about 10000 bales of cotton stored in An and very little of 1t is mortgaged. There are about 1000 bales held by growers in Calhoun county. and cotton men say that the majority of farmers who are holding cotton are the owners of it. That is, they have not borrowed money from the banks and pledged the cotton as security.
 This is considered unusual at this time of the year, as usually by the first of February most of the local cotton has been disposed of and the farmers have begun to borrow money for their spring work.
 In addition to the 11,00O bales held in Anniston and Calhoun county, 1t is un- derstood that 15,000 bales are stored in Talladega.
 It is known that a great many Cal houn county farmers are arranging to raise enough products this year to keep their families and stock and by next year they will have some additional stock which they will endeavor to increase from year to year.
 Twelve members of the Boys Corn club of Calhoun county will be awarded prizes next Saturday at a meeting to be held on the Legarde farm near Alexandria. The prizes will be given for efficient work done by the boys last season.
 An extension school of agriculture and home economics for farmers, boys. girls and women will be held at Eulaton on Friday and Saturday. March 10 and IL A number of important and interesting subjects will be discussed and free nov ing picture show will be given on Fri day night March TO-
