Many of these Texans can pick 500 pounds in a day, and there is worlds to pick. The charge for ginning is $4.50 per bale, bagging and ties extra; cotton seed selling at $8.00 a ton. Most of the ginneries will make $15,000 per seaj son. i Many of our farmers hav<^ gathjered as much as 75 bushels of oa.s to the acre on volunteer oats, the i same having been pastured until Christmas. The corn and inaize crops! were also enormous as well as the I. wheat crops. A peculiar condition j exists here.
