C J<n. 5?n, 1915 FARMERS LOf E MONEY. The farmers of this county lose thousands of dollars that might he s?ved with but little trouble and ex pense to thtni. The cotton crop fv th.s coir ty the p. st year exceeds 23,cxo bales, a recor?_?b eaking crop A large amount of this cotton is be ing t.e!d by '.he the farmers until t'ley can get a be'ter price. The C ?tton is allow- d to rt main on the groundj exposed to all the rain and b d weather, fcvery bale thus ex p ised is more or less damaged Tuere is r.o good excuse tor this. It is carelessne-s on ih^ part of the f rmers, and it o-ts them heavily. Two bales we'e sold here a few days ago that was so badiy damages tio u exjosure that we were to d that ico pounds was knocked off tor ihc damage, anj we are nut sure, after 1 >oking a> thi* c< t to 1, but thar it v as really damaged to a still gr? ater extent. 1 1 e ties had to be takui uff and 'he rotten ?otton pick ed < ut A prominent cotton Du)tr here constantly has to get s< me ha^us to taKe t ie ties oft and pick tilt bad cotton out. 1 he loss to the f n mers of this county ;< onr for al I w ing tl eir cotton to be ? xposrd to a I .sons of bad weather, we venture to say w ill tost th? 111 for ;he la -t year's crop ? ic?,ooD.--more money than I* exp.-nded for the scnools of the cojnty in two yeais. Suiely the loss to the farmer? in the price of cotton is enough with out adding this unnece.wy loss. They shoulj protect their co'ton.
