There has been practically no
plowing done since November, and
some of the farmers aro getting a
little anxious. Before this time last

most, of the farmers have some cot
ton to spare at 10 cents a pound,
whe they have taken care of it, but
some wiill not bring that after thisi
snow and ice melts on it and soaks
in. Farmers should take os good
care of their cotton as they (10 their
