Each year for the past several
years, W .L. Martin has been record-
ing guesses on cotton yields by busi-
ness men of Marshall who are inter-
ested in cotton, at the beginning of
। the cotton picking season, and has
compared these guesses with the ac-
tual yield of cotton in the county.
Mr. Martin states that it is remark-
able how near the average of these
gueses comes to ‘being the same
number of bales of cotton actually pro
duced.
These guesses are always interest-
ing and they really give some idea
of the amount of cotton expected to
be produced this year.
