.CROPFORECAST
FOR NUECES
$1,000 Bales Ginned and
Harvest Season Barely
Begun. \
PICKERS ARE NEEDED
Farmers of Nueces May
Receive 100000
for Cotton.

Corpus Christi. Tex. Aug. H.
Predictions of an S0.000-bale cotton
crop in Nueces county this year began
to taSe form when figures compiled
showed that over 21,000 bales had
been ginned thus far, with the season
under way generally bare three
weeks. The first weeks ginning
brought out about 10000 bales. tn,
second week increased the total tC
1900 and the third carried the mari
above 10000. Last years total crol
was less than 10000 bales.
Gins Are Busy.
Nueces county today is in the
throes of n cotton rush. There is cot
ton, cotton everywhere. The streets
of the city during the week ends is
cvei flowed with cotton pickers, al
eager to spend their money. The cir
yards all over the county, are crowded
TO capacity, with the stands run
ming far up into the night. Some OF
the gins are running day and night
in an effort to get the cotton to mar
tet so that the best prices may be
realized. Saturday night of last week
the Corpus Christi gins worked untll
II o'clock, the zero hour for sunday
morning. The crews went back tc
work at midnight Sunday night.
During the day hours and far into
the night the country roads arc lined
with farmers bringing their staple &c
town in order that they may gain q
point of preference in the gin yards
1t is no uncommon thing for farmer
to send his cotton TO town ard then
shake down his bed and wait several
hours for his cotton TO be ginned.
More Pickers Needed.
The cry is still being heard for
pickers. The crop this year opened
unusually fast, necesSitating a large
supply of pickers. Despite the ;act
that it had been agreed to pay pic6ers
10 cents q hundred pounds some sec
lions have boosted the price 10 Sl.2J
a hundred. Ono farmer said his pick
ers were so anxious to pick cotton
that they didn't have the time to cat.
This seems TO be the spirit OF every
person who has n hand in gathering
and marketing this years crop.
1t is going TO be record say some.
Anyway, the 10000 mark may be
reached. If price of % cents
pound is maintained tie farmers OF
this county will receive about $40 :
100000 for helping TO make cotton
king in the Southland.
