Would it not be well for the farmerg
to consult the County Demonstratigy,
Agent and get his views on the best
kind of cotton to plant in this sec
tion?
A different variety of cotton no
doubt will be urged, one that pProbha
bly will not turn out so well at the
gin but yield just as much per acre,
A high yield at the gin means a
sm@ll boll and small seed variety
which carries with it short lint. There
fore would it not- be wise to change
to a varety that would give a fy)
inch staple rather than one that gives
5-8 to 3-4. :
Some years ago North Georgia
Cotton was very much sought, but t,.
day catton brokers give a “French
Shrug” when asked to bid on cotton
grown in uor section and decline to
make offer, stating that the staple is
too short.
A longer lint means a sure market
and a higher market value.
