RECORD COTTON CROP.
Final Glnners' Report Shows
Total Yield 16.102,143 for 1914.
Washington, March 20: ? Tht
greatest cotton crop ever producec
in the United States was growr
in 1914.
Census bureau statistics, issued to
m'nninrr mi fOC nf,
uay, imoi kiiiuui^ uftuivoi w*
ficially place the 1914 crop as a rec
ord, with 16,102,143 bales of 50(
pounds each. That is 409,442 equiv
alent 500-pound bales, or 204,721,00(
pounds more than produced in the
great crop of 1911.
In addition to the great produc
tion of lint cotton a record quantity
of linter cotton, which is extensively
used in the manufacture of military
explosives, was obtained. This cotton,
delinted from the seeds at oii
mills, amounted to 395,732,00C
pounds and brought the total 1914
crop to 16,893,604 equivalent 500pound
bales, or 8,446,803,500 pounds,
While the crop was a record one,
it once. Call on or write to H A

V V fV ' "
the only States to make new records
in production were Alabama, Louisiana
and Oklahoma. The other cotton
States all came close to theii
records.
For South Carolina the official
figures give 1,524,595 bales for 1914,
compared with 1,648,712 for 1911
and 1,377,814 for 1913, the years
heretofore credited with the biggest
yields for this State.

Tunis, N C,March 22:?Capt VV b
Durfey died here March 15, 1915,
aged 90 years. He leaves four children,
two at Tunis, one at N u-f<;!k,
Va, one at Andrews, S C, and many
friends bereaved by his death.
We are having some very cold
weather np here. Had a big snow
yesterday.
Farmers around here do not know
what to plant this year. They say
they are not going to plant much
cotton. Many of them will plant
more peanuts than they did last
year. We are confidently looking for
a big price for peanuts next fall. The
Farmers' union is putting up a peanut
factory at Tunis. We can make
more on this crop at cents a
pound than on cotton at 10 cents a
pound. I hope all the farmers will
?et something for what they raise
:his year.
