COTTON HOLDING UP WELL. ? Good Cultivation and High Fertilizfag Saved Cotton from Heavy Bains. ' Dillon county has emerged from one V of the longest and severest wet spells In its history as a farming section With the exception of a few days of fair weather it rained the proverbial 40 days and nights, last Saturday being the 40th day. Under ordinary k circumstances the cotton crop could not have survived the prolonged 'wet spell, but fortunately the farmers were well up with their work, cotton was in a fine state of cultivation and there was more fertilizer for it to draw strength from. About the first of July last year there was a heavy rainfall, but it did not last many days. Cotton suffered from the washing rains, but when the weather cleared ideal cotton seasons followed and Dillon county made the second largest crop in its history. This year the rainfall covered a much longer per1*4. | P.rtttnn has held un well. The CrOD has been damaged, but It is remarkable how little damage has been done. The stalk is large, but appears to be well fruited, and if the weather does J not turn off too hot and dry Dillon has a chance to make a good crop. The editor of The Herald made a short trip through the upper end of . the Gallavon section last Saturday. Accompanying him was E. C Stanton, the well-known Insurance man. They Inspected several fields of cotton and were surprised to find that cotton was standing up so well following the heavy rains. We stopped at Ernest Cottingham's Gallavon place and went throng^ his crop. Last year Mr. Cottingham made 130 bales on 100 acres. He has the same cotton acreage this year and up until the rains- came was expecting 150 bales. He says he will fall short of this yield. His cotton is fine, howaver. and if the seasons from now en are favorable he will not fall short I of 150 bales. He is planting the Cleveland big boll which he says holds up better under adverse seasons than any other variety he knows of. ' Mr Cottingham has about 100 acres of very fine corn. Last year he sold over 1000 bushels and his yield this year bids fair to exceed that of last year. Mr. Cottingham says there is as much money in corn at present prices as there is in cotton. There were other good crops in this vicinity. Hugh Stanton has some fine cotton and Walter Stanton has a > good crop on the old Andrew Cottingham place now owned by Mrs. A. J. C. Cottingham If other parts of the county did not suffer more than this section Dillon stands a gool chance of making around 40,000 bales this f year, even if cotton has weathpred one of the worst seasons in the history of the oldest farmers. o The cotton-workers of Lancashire, whose fathers suffered severely from the shortage of cotton during the m^ Civil War but who chose hunger rather than support slavery, sent a wreath to the unveiling of the new statute of Lincoln which has been placed opposite Wesminster Abby.
