' m m ai ' A well-known cotton manu facturer of Gaston county, who has watched the crops and the markets for 35 years, is of the omuion that this season's cotton crop will be in the neighborhood of 14,000,000 bales. Asked as to how; he made his calculations, he said: "uy watching the re ports from the various sections of the cotton producing States it is learned that the acreage this year is between 33,000,000 and 35.000,000 acres. To be safe, take the lower figure. The amount of cotton raised per- acre varies from 145 to 250 pounds net per. acre, depending on the seasons. 1 nave watched tne reports as to the condition of the crop in the cotton-growing sections this season and I esti mate that the average for the whole will be about 210 pounds per acre. Multiply : 33,000,000 acres by ? 210 pounds and you have 6.930.000.000 pounds. Divide this amount by 500, which will be the average weight of the bale this year. It gives you 13.860.000 bales. That's a pretty close estimate of the present season's production: mark my word." The gentle man who makes ' this estitinate is one of the most successful cotton manufacturers in the county and State and has been in close touch with the 'market and the crop for thirty-five years. Nonnt Holly Schools. September 16th is the date for the opening of the Mount Holly graded schools. .
