I rytinie I drive back
San Angelo from a
• id trip. I see cotton
ppcrs--three or four
i field-working into
night hours on the
flats in the Concho Val-
ley. All those lights give
the appearance of a busy
airport.
According to agricul-
ture writer, Scott Camp-
bell, dryland production
in the San Angelo area is
averaging from one-half
to three-fourths bale per
acre. He reports gin op-
erators consider quality
to be extremely good,
but prices continue to re-
main depressed at press
time.
Steven Hoelscher,
who farms near Wall and
in the St. Lawrence
Community near Garden
City, says cotton produc-
tion is up considerably
this season on both the
irrigated and dryland
farms.
'Cotton stripping in
the St. Lawrence area is
about half finished,'
said Delmar Batla, man-
ager of St. Lawrence Gin
Co. Batla stated his firm
has ginned about 5,400
bales.
Batla confirmed Hoel-
scher's statement con-
1 cerning irrigated cotton.
He said the yield la
about one bale per acre.
Dryland cotton is aver-
aging about the same at
St. Lawrence, as the San
Angelo area-from one-
half to three-fourths bale
per acre.
Farmers appear to
have a wait-and-see at-
titude about marketing
their cotton. Prices re-
main in the low and de-
pressed stage and every-
one is hoping conditions
will improve.
Bill Hewllg estimated
the Mereta Co-op has
ginned nearly 8,000
bales of cotton. He says
the quality is good, and
production is generally
about two-thirds bale
per acre on dryland. He
says the crop is the best
he can remember since
the late 1960's. Some
cotton is being sold over
the Co-op's Telcot tube
system and prices are
averaging between 53
and 55 cents per pound.
Alton Fischer of Run-
nels County believes at
this writing that cotton
harvest would be fin-
ished in most of that
county shortly after
Thanksgiving.
The Rowena Company
has so far ginned about
3,350 bales according
to Campbell's research.
The crop likewise has
been good. Production
is between one-half and
three-fourths bale per
acre.

CREDO'
I believe that any man's
life will be filled with
constant encouragement
and unexpected joy if he
makes up his mind to do
his dead level best every day
at every responsibility his
maker assigns him.
l believe that the real joy of
success comes only when
we reach toward the highest
possible ethical behavior in
all our dealings with God
and man.
i believe that my welfare in
this life and in the next
depends entirely upon my
relationship with others and
with my God.
