when the writer visited Mr.. Gaines's
farm, there were six or eight plows
running in some Of his cotton fields,
covering vetch and cats. He will
have SO acres or more in cover crops
this year.
One share cropper and his wife
made 90 bales on 16 acres last year.
In another field 16 bales were pro-
duced on the same land that four
years ago made three bales. Mr..
Gaines says that vetch Is the main
reason for such great increases.
The great fields Of large cotton,
heavily fruited, and noticeably free
from disease, are we'll worth seeing.
