THE JOLLY ADVERTISERS.

OF COTTON IN
Picking Starts In Earnest
Farmers Selling
Nearly All

New cotton is rolling into Ameri-
Gus, picking having started in earn
est. Yesterday several bales were
brought to gin and warehouse, and to-
day considerably larger number ar
rived. The receipts are expected to
increase daily now until the, season
reaches its height.
A check of the three ware
houses here today disclosed that the
receipts to noon totalled fifty bales.
Practical all of it was sold immed-
lately upon delivery. bringing II IA
cents for the best, which graded mid
ding and strictly low middling, as a
rule. The general quality was consid-
cred fairly good.
The TimesRecorder of August IS,
1911, ten years ago, published an
item which win be of interest, recafl-
ing that once the boil weevil did
not flourish in these parts. although
the comparison does not accurately
reflect the difference between then
and now. The paper said on that
date:
"More than 100 bales of cotton
were marketed in Americus yestef-
day, thus running the total receipts
up to more than 500 bales since the
season opened"
Ten years ago today, according TO
the record, October cotton was
quoted on the New York exchange at
11.20, or about a cent and three
quarters below the present quotation.
