Postal Department
Selects Elwood
For County Seat

J. r. Evans. who is county judge
Of Hockey County, was in the city
last Thursday, and stated that the
postal authorities had decided upon
a name for the postoffice at the
county seat and that it would be
known as ElwoOd. Il will be rem
embered that the new county seat
was first named Hockey City, but
owing to the existence of another
postofIiice in the state very similar
to that the postal authorities would
not accept that name for the post
Office, and so a number Of other
names were submitted, and they
have recently been notified by Dos
tal department that Elwood would
be acceptable. and that is the name
the new county seat will hereafter
be known by.
The new postofiice has not yet
been established. and il may be sew
eral weeks yet before il is as the
government sometimes takes a good
while 10 do this kind of work. Mr..
Evans stated too that it was not
known from what point on rail-
road their mail would come-Lub-
book or Ropesville.

Texas farmers viii clear more

The concensus Of conservative
grain men is that Texas is on the
eve Of marketing 20,000,000 bushels
Of wheat. This varies slightly from
the Government forecast Of l9,000,-
600 bushels for the Texas wheat
crop.
The oat crop has been estimated at

advices would Indicate that this crop

South Plains
Crops Are In
Fine Condition

South Plains crops are in the best
condition for years, although a little
late. There il a wide variation IN
crop distribution as compared with
last year. Cotton acreage IN Lub-

and 40 per cent, while IN Crosby
county IL s reduced between 60 and

IN Gaines, Terry, and the counties
In that section IL Is reduced from 30

corn acreage is increased as much as
700 per cent over that planted last
year More than $50 cars Of corn

Wheat acreage in the north part

There is thus plenty Of cotton in

parently only a quick recovery Of

really being surplus cotton.

When a publication like the Bos-

on the spinners' side of the market,
contomplatcs such a reduction Of
acreage with the remark that there
is plenty of cotton in the world for
all purposes the fact that Gala

duction is emphasized. The truth is
that il would have been better for
all concerned II there had been even
greater reduction. In the face Of
this situation every effort must be
made to market the cotton crop grad

mands of the market from week TO

Here is the way the Boston News
Bureau sizes up the cotton situation
Washington reports the smallest
cotton crop since lS95--a reflection
Of market conditions, national and
International, that needs no rehear-
sing.
"The drop in yield of last years
harvest Of almost 5000, 900 bales is
the direct result Of deliberate cur
tailment by Southern planters, al
though in part this policy is dictated
by personal necessity. Acreage is
the smallest since the beginning OF
the century, at a reduction of 2S.4
per cent, or about 10000, 600 acres,
from the 1920 total.
Nature also has contributed to
the reduction with June 25 con-
dition which is the lowest record on
that date, following a late and wet
spring. June, however, brought a
little better than the average inn
provement recorded during that
month. The condition of 692 re-
presents a 80 per cent advance over
the figure Of May %, as against an
average Improvement during that
period of about 2 per cent. This
means gain of perhaps 10000
hales the past month. on the planted
acreage.
This small crop is the correlative
10 light consumption and a heavy
existing surplus. Consumption Of
American cotton for the first ten
months Of the cotton year is $780,
