PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR BIG COTTON
CROP IN COUNTY
Acala Forges to Front; Exces-
sive Rains Damage Crop But
Growers Say Yield Not Yet
Materially Hurt.

Acala cotton in Grady county will
average more than one-half bale per
acre, according to J. w. Owens, for
mer Grady county farm agent, who
retired from that office this week.
Thirty thousand acres of Acala
cotton are planted in Grady county,
Mr. Owens said The total cotton
acreage in the county is estimated
by Mr.. Owens at forty thousand
acres.
Acala cotton was introduced in
the county in 1919, when a small
acreage was planted. This acreage
proved to be so profitable that the
bulk of the seed grown here in
1919 was replanted for the 1920
crop.
Prospects for a bumper cotton
crop in Grady county are bright,
cotton growers say. Excessive rains
have threatened the crop but up
to date the damage has been small,
it is believed.

STUDY ADDED TO
COUNTY SCHOOLS
AS Result of Holden Courses
Here Many Schools to Teach
Agriculture; Teachers Take
Work at State Normals.

Many schools in Grady county will
offer the vitali2ed agriculture course
according to II. +. Allen, county sup
erintendent of public instructions.
More than thirty Grady county
school teachers, including several
lady teachers, took the vitalized ag-
riculture course last year under the
direction of DIR. p. G. Holden. The
courses were offered at the various
normal schools of the state
DR.. Holden conducted short
course in vitalized agriculture here
in 1919. This course created such in
tense interest that many of the
teachers continued the study in
state normal schools. Twelve Grady
county schools offered the course
last year and more than double that
number have added the course this
year, Supt Allen says.
Vitalized agriculture, as taught by
DR.. Holden, head of the extension
department of a Chicago farm imple-
ment company, is system of put
ting theoretical study into practical
work.
Approximately seven hundred
teachers attended classes in the sub
ject last summer in the state nor
