ESTIMATES ON COTTON
Liverpool was 7.50 a bale,
worse than had been expected
at the opening when the initial
contract was 91 to 99.
Prospects for a large cotton get along without
yield in this section are consid-
ered good, though the crop is
the most spotted in several
years. Stalks of cotton exhib-
ited in Deport vary from those
loaded with nearly matured
bolls to those having little or
no fruit. Upland cotton seems
to show the best prospects.
The crop is later than last
~*ear, due to the cold weather
te in the spring, but indica-
tions pointed to a bumper crop
everywhere until a few weeks
ago when excessive rainfall
caused the stalk to grow rank
' and insects to infest it. This
damage hit only in spots, how-
ever and in most places an av-
erage yield or better will be
’ gathered.
Feed crops are said to be
fine. Hegari, of which much
was planted, is being cut and
will be hauled from the fields
soon. Corn is also good, and
the oat crop the best 'harvested
in years.

YOUNG PEOPLE IN
MEETING AT DEPORT
Figures from the Tax Col-
lector’s records show that there
were fewer passenger cars re-
Writing to The Times from gistered in Lamar Co. the first
Fulbright, J. R. Bright, drug-
gist says, “In going over the
corn crop I find a great deal of
vegetable micro-organism, com-
monly known as smut, which
if fed to horses or mules will
cause cerobritis or blind stag- i
gers. If the animal survives
the attack, it will be worth-
less.”
Mr. Bright advises that corn
which is in the least bit smutty,
be left in the field when the
healthy ears are gathered. It
will not hurt hogs or chickens
and may be gathered later, but j
should not be stored w’ith good I
corn as the fungi may attach
itself to unaffected grains. Mr.
Bright states that he will be
glad to discuss the infection
with anyone 'who desires to
know more about it.
