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.
