1000 BALES
AHEAD OF LAST YEAR


BLUE MOUNTAIN. Miss Dec. 81.
(Spl)-According to the official cotton
crop estimate made by W. T. .Crump.
gatherer Of ginners' reports for this
county, Tippah will produce about 1000
more bales of cotton this season than
during the previous year, the estimate
Tor l91S-l9 being $500 bales and the
total crop Of 1918 being 4,42S.
Before the advent of the boil weevil
Tippah produced an average Of about
16. 00C bales, but in spite of the reduction
in the average yield local farmers are
realizing about as much money as In
good crop years, owing to the high
price paid for the staple.
According to Crump the farmers Of
this country have not grown so much
corn, hay, soy and velvet beans, pea
nuts and other food and feed crops as
they did in the previous year, which,
however, was the banner season for the
county in the line Of these special crops.
