Prospects point to thorough test
in cotton growing in Luna county
this year. So far SO farmers have
ordered seed amounting to approx
imately 1900 pounds. If the seed
is planted at the rate of 30 pounds
to the acre, it means that approx
imately 400 acres will be planted
We believe, however, that there viii
be some slumping on this acreage
before planting is done.
The Farmers Association so far
has been able to get prices only on
the Mebane and Durango varieties.
5000 pounds of Mebane and 1000

ordered from Eddy county. The
