Cotton Ginning in Big Texas
Counties

A Washington correspondent says that as the cotton
ginning season closed doubt exists that any OF the
big four cotton counties Of Texas-williamson Ellis
McLennan and Hil-which ginned more than l00,-
900 bales in 1928, would reach the 100000 mark in
1929.
This was the record on Dec. %: Ellis, s4,s4i bales;
Hill, s0s2O bales: McLennan, s6,3sS bales; William
son, 1856 bales; Navarro, s4-524 bales; San Patricio'
77,358 bales; Collin. 70,733 bales.
Nueces county passed the l00oo0-bale mark early
in the ginning season. 1t is a banner cotton county
Of the southwest. And when all the returns are in II
NAV rank as the banner cotton county Of all the
cotton states Of America.
Lest We forget San Patricio was the surprise OF
the cotton year in a production sense. Not many
years ago San Patricio was a big grazing county and
but little else.

Despite the vigilance of municipal state and federal
agents, drug dealers continue to supply their trade
The small size in which they transported and
the secrecy with which the trade is surrounded make
narcotics doubly hard to suppress

that majority of those who become drug addicts that
