RAISES COTTON
IN EAST MOLINE
Warren Gallon Experiments on
Possibilities of Adapting Crop
to This Climate.
EFFORT PROVES A SUCCESS
Has -Four Rows of Plants in Bloom
Convinced Product Could
Be Grown Here.

Experimenting on the practical
bility of acclimating cotton to the
rigorous weather of Illinois, War
rem Gallon, a negro, has produced
fair sized crop of the southern
product in his little garden in the
rear of his home at 341 Twelfth
street, East Moline
Being long familiar with cotton
raising, Mr.. Gallon decided to delve
into the possibilities of such crop
in this climate. Out OF the various
varieties he has selected what is
known as the Bank Account cot
ton" as the one best suited to eli
matte conditions of this region.
Though of Mississippi nativity, the
Bank Account is a plant of sturdy
nature and less susceptible to low
temperatures.
June Mr.. Gallon planted his
seed. Now he has four 1S-foot rows
of cotton plants well filed with
three-fourths grown bolls. The
bloom" of the plant is as white
and fine in quality as any produced
in the south, and the quantity pro-
duction in proportion to the num-
Der Of plants is equally good.
1t is not expected by Mr.. Cal
Ion that the crop will be able to
fully mature, as there will be in
sufficient warm weather and frost
probably will interfere.
However, Mr.. Gallon, as a result
of his experiment, is satisfied that
had he planted the cotton earlier
the crop would have been an es
pecially good one, and he sees no
reason why, if P-lted early and
with anything like normal weather
during the summer, cotton can not
be raised in this locality as we'll
and as profitably as in the south
ern states.
