: Still Ginning Cotton.

Cotton is still being ginned at Bossier
City and reports from other gins in the
parish show that there is still few hun
.dred bales to be added to the fatal Of the
1916 crop. Last week the gin at Bossier
City turned out 1f8 bales and the week
before 1t6 bales. About 100 bales are
in sight for this week.
Add to the foregoing the other small
numbers. OF bales yet to be ginned over
the parish and there is a tidy total to be
added to the 20, C66 bales that had been
ginncd in Boss:er Parish up to October
18th. Middlng cotton is now worth
about 10 cent per pound but the average
price to the farmer of the 1916 crop has
probably been about 16 cents, or $50 pei
bale, which would make the Bossier
Parish crop worth to our farmers, on a
basis of $1,000 bales, sl,6S0,OO0 The
sum realized for seed will run the total
far beyond the two million mark.
+ Some idea of Bossier's prosperity may
be drawn from these figures without
going into detail about the other crops
raised in the parish.
Cotton Of vintage of 1915, brought 9
fair price (asi then seemed) but it was
.nos'as large a crop by about 1900 bales
the exact figures for that year being
1919 bales. .:...4r :, =
Benton merchants say that account:
dating back'to the Blue years are being
paid off with the 1916 crop. Accounts
that some OF the merchants had passed
to the hopeless list are now as good. a.
any and are being paid. The same is, 0
course, true all over the parish.

it will put the parish ahead of anything
