ROWLAND A COTTON TOWN
10000 Bales Will be Sold on That
Market This Year-People of
That Section in the Swim.

Rowland of Robeson'ss mnay
progressive towns-might be termed
a cotton town. This reporter spent a
day recently in Rowland and was i'm
pressed with the amount of cotton be-
ing sold there. A cotton buyer was
asked how many bales of the staple
would be sold on the Rowland mar
ket this year. 10000 bales" was the
answer. Judging from that, around
$350,000 will be paid out to cotton
growers on the Rowland market this
season.
The cotton crop in the Rowland Sec
ton will average around IS per cent
of normal crop, according to Mr.. A.
L. Bullock, leading merchant of
Rowland. When asked how the folks
were paying up, Mr.. Bullock replied,
"The small farmers are doing fine,
while some of the larger farmers are
Somewhat Slow Mr.. Bullock added
that many old accounts were being
settled.
The farmers of the Rowland sec
ton grow too much cotton and too lit
cotton section. When cotton prices
are good the farmers are prosperous
and when prices are low the farmers
are hard hit.
Anyway, the people of Rowland and
vicinity are in the boat this year.
