PROSPECTS BRIGHT
FOR FALL COTTON

Fall work on the farms, in the Rio
Grande Valley has begun in earnest,
and prospects are bright for the larg-
est production Of cotton ever known.
While the last season has been a rec
ord breaking one in the Valley, the
present yield Of cotton is believed to
be far in excess Of any previous esti-
mates. The previous records have
been broken by over 1000 carloads.
Exceptional yields are continually be-
ing made by farmers in the irrigated
sections.
Jim Wade, on the American Rio
Grande Land and Irrigation company's
system near Mercedes, farmed three
different tracts, one Of % acres, one of
30 and one Of Is acres, making a
total Of II acres. His gross profits
were S1J,S71, or an average on these
three separate tracts Of $1.63 per acre.
This netted him gross profit Of S217
per acre. This one crop would have
have twice paid for similar land that
can be purchased at this time. When
it is considered that a vegetable crop
will follow this, the yearly profits per
acre will be far in excess Of the recent
average given by the Bureau Of Agri-
culture.
The average price for this cotton is
around q cents, which is little long
cr staple than in North Texas. The
cotton seed also has been bringing a
good price.
This section of the country is ex-
ceedingly beautiful and enjoys a large
production Of farm products the year
around. While the above is an cxcep-
tional yield there are a number Of
farmers who have made comparable
