PULLMAN COUNTY FARMERS MAKE
 S2,OOO,OOO CROP Value of Cotton and Surplus Food Products Will Reach
 This Amount, It Is i Estimated
By FANNIE ROBSON

Cullnan November 16.-(Special. )-Ac- cordng to estimates recently made by the shippers association here, by pro- duce men and by others well informed on the subject, Cullman county has pro- duced cotton and surplus food supplies which have already brought the people of the county over $2000,000 this year.
 Cullman county has ever been known over the state and the south for its di- versified farming. And there has been a greater variety in the crops and in other food producing industries here, than in any previous year.
 The campaign for feeding the county, and having ar abundance to ship, was begun in the right time last spring The first definite step, was the lecture of Mrs Mathis here some six or eight months ago. Then the mills have urged the planting of wheat, grain and other crops, until tho farmers had finished planting.
 The merchants are complaining about the small quantity of canned goods be- ing sold. The average number of cans of fruit and vegetables per family in the county is estimated at 150 cans.
 COTTON
 Although the cotton crop is something like 3600 bales shorter than it was this time last year, yet the farmers have all ready received s1,276,90O for this years crop in the county. There have been 7s60 bales ginned up until November l, and each bale, with the seed, brought $165. Much of the cotton is late this year and the frost will ruin most of the top bolls.
 A well informed merchant stated yes terday that 50 per cent of the farmers debts in the county this year, could be paid with the surplus corn crop. Here tofore the farmers here have not raised enough to do them. Now they have their own automobiles and 40,00o bushels to spare. Much of the corn is being hauled to the mines and to Birmingham from the southern end of the county. There is no regular corn dealer here individual merchants shipping the cars
