BIG COTTON CROP FOR
LITTLE RIVER COUNTY
Last Report from Ginners Shows that
This County Has Exceeded
Crop of Last
Year.

The report of official gin reporter
NJ NJ Draper indicates that Little
River county has grown bumper cot
ton crop for this season and will ex
ceed the crop of last year by about
1000 bales. The report shows that up
to December 1st this year there had
been ginned 1926 bales as compered
with 13 964 ginned on December 1st
last year This would indicate that
the complete crop report after all
ginning is finished will go beyond the
$4,000 bale mark, which is very close
to the record. The recent government
report showed that the nations crop
would be less than eleven million bales
The price received for the cotton
this year has been close to double that
received for the crop last year, and
for the county's big crop something
like double the money will be receiv-
ed Is it any wonder that Little River
county is prosperous?
