Growers of ^eed have been bending their efforts breed swd that will grow an earlier, cot. ton and farmers in their cultivation have worked toward this same idea. That these efforts ha(re been to an extent successful has been prov ed by the reports on cotton ginned in Hoke county during the past month. Cotton farmers all over the county have had an earlier crop as is proven by the ginning report The tabulation of card reports shows that there have been 1,899 bales, of cotton ginned in Hoke County from the 1930 crop, prior to September 16, and that at- this same date in 1929 there had been only 397 bales ginned. The remarkable difference between the two totals shows that this year’s crop is to a large degree earlier than that" of last year.
