OWNERS' REPORTS
SHOW GREAT INCREASE.
Mr. E. Oglesby Furnishes The
Weekly With Figures to
September 25th.
Up to September 25th, 1913,
there had been grinned in Henry
county for this season 1668 bales
of cotton.
For the same period last year
there were ginned only 937 bales.
This is an increase of 78 per
cent, and is indeed a fine showing,
though we could hardly base our
estimate for the whole year’s c op
increase on these figures alone.
If even a lower rate of increase
holds for the whole crop and the
price stays high, Henry county
will have more money this fall than
it has had for several years before.
