Mr. E. N. Ennis Brings First
Bale to Milledgeville Mar
ket This Year - Others!
.'Follow Soon After.
jUp «. "uesday afternoon there had
been roc ed twelve bales of now
crop cotton the warehouses in Mil
ledgeville, t ho*?)., t of the number he
wing brought in 13. N. Ennis.
Considering U ^,ort crop tins
year, the gathering ^casou is starting
off earlier than at any time iu many
years. The early picking is due
largely to early planting, the early
planting, being for the purpose to get
ahead of the boll weevil as much as
possible.
According to the opinion of one ot
.Milledgevillete well tknown cotton
factors, there will be less than one
thousand bales of cotton raised in
Baldwin county this year. In other
words, it is tiie opinion of this cotton
factor no moro than one tenth of an
average crop will be harvested from
the 1921 crop
The shortage of production is at
tributed almost solely to the ravages
of the boll weevil. In tfiany fields
it is indicated that less than one bale
.of the fleecy stnpjc will be gathered
from fifteen acres, though in a few
instances Ciile yield will probably run
as high as n balo to tlieo or four
acres.
General expr »isior-s> idio.ite that
the farmer.; of Baldwin county have
boon thoroughly convinced t int
boll weevil is an insect to bo dreaded
and that tliero is a poor chance, if
any, to raise cotton even on a small
scale at a profit
