MATBANK Laurens county faces one of the shortest cotton crops in years with an approximate production of 35 to 40 per cent of last i* the opinion expressed by County Agent C. B. Cannon. Last year’s crop was approximately 35,000 bales. Mr. Cannon ascribed the low yield to boll weevil damage, irregular stands due to the early summer drouth and to grass left after the later rains. The agent said that no one can tell for sure just what the production will be at this season, but it is evident from the report of farmers and from field observation that the crop wUl be very short. Mr. Cannon said that farmers who applied poison in either the dust or l^uid form or both can see big re sults thus far. However, he sai(k poi soning 'will be of little benefit from now one dw to weevil migration. HOW LAURENS COUNTY VOTED TUESDAY IN SENATE RACE The Rev.
