S. Department of Commerce shows that 6,454 bales of cotton were ginned from the 1950 crop prior to Jan. 16. This compares unfavorably with a figure of 16,902 bales ginned in the county from tlie 1949 crop, and points up the need for greater pro duction of this vital crop this year. STRESSES NEED The need has been emphasized recently by County Agent C. R. Ammons and other Extension Ser vice workers, who have addressed meetings of farmers, and business men whose incomes depend on cotton production. Ginners, cotton buyers, merchants and members of the Extension Service have laid the foundation at recent meetings for cooperation in an effort to bring production up in 1951. County Agent Ammons has ex pressed confidence that the crop this year cun be increased, although it will require lots of planning and, work. “The main cause of the poor crop last season,” he said, "was the boll weevil. If cotton growers yill use the proper methods of fighting these pests this years there is no reason that we should not reach our goal of a large increase in cotton harvested in the county this yeas."
