BRO. TATE SAYS
OUR CROPS EXCEL

Rev. JAS H. Tate. pastor OF the
Presbyterian church at Fluvanna has
just returned from Breckenridge,
where he attended Presbytery. He
also visited Rochester, Hamlin, Rotan
Roby and other places while away
and had noted carefully the crops
along the way, and returned homo
feeling that the Scurry county people
were fortunate in that they have a
splendid good crop comparatively
speaking Breckenridge he said had
been dry most all the time and their
crops were burned up while Fisher
county had fairly good crops.
Bro. Tate said that while the cot
t)n was shorter around Fluvanna pos
sibly than any other part of the
county they would realize more
than they thought for and the re-
cent rains up there had put a good
season IN the ground for sowing
wheat and had started the. grass and
now there was q green coat all over
the country which would give good
winter pasture stock water that had
began to get short had been replen-
ished.
Bro. Tate Is a very busy man. be-
sides his pastorate work at Fluvanna
he has numerous calls from other
points In organization work to which
be responds as often as he can.

AMONG THE FARMERS.

The farmers are rejoicing because
of the good price of cotton and well
they should Most farmers in raising
this crop labored with the thought OF
a 10 cent market and when it sud
denly and sensationly jumped to 20
cents and better it put new spirit in
TO the farmer for at that price he
feels that he has been paid for his
work
Then. too, Scurry county cotton is
probably better than an average for
West Texas, with the exception of a
small strip in the north west part Of
the county. If the weather continues
favorable for short time longer the
late cotton that was planted in the
county wiz prove to be the best.
5. W. Light. who was in the planted
over district west of town is highly
pleased with the outlook OF his cotton
and will make q fourth OF bale per
acre and probably more.
Mr.. Carroll is out there and he SAYS
his cotton will make a fourth.
While 5. d. Gee. who owns the old
Eoff place out west OF town thinks
he will get 100 bales and better off
of goo acres.
Jim Wilson down about Ira, will
get half bale per acre Off of some
Of his cotton.
W. p. BoIn at Arab says cotton
has improved in his neighborhood.
4. J. Kemp oil Hermleigh says gins
are running As hours a day. Lots OF
cotton down there.
= \. z. Ganaway OF Hermleigh says
he will get nearly half bale per acre
About 90 bales off of a. acres. =
d. Watson will make a fourth. Lee
sturdlvant says he is good for third
Carroll Davidson of Camp Springs
has already gathered something like
/ 80 bales and will soon be through.
He will get a third and better. :
/C. y. Won Roeder at Knapp says he
will get a third of bale. Cotton is
better than expected. =
- G. l.. Rogers OF Fluyanna says he
won't make but little cotton. He was
the dry spot.
+. p. DeLoach at Ira will get seven
bales off of 20 acres. y
4 Cotton took another jump the first
Z OF the week on account OF reports OF
condition of the crop and the estimat-
ed yield limited to 100000 bales
coupled with news that the Japs were
in the buying as we'll as that domes-
tic mills were wanting stuff. Cotton
sold here Wednesday for 81 "a cents,
