Mr Horton was as -proud of
his first bale as the old time
boy was of his first red topped
brass toed boots.
The cotton was gathered
from 11 acres planted with the
early seed purchased from O.
B. Burnett of.Mempris Texas.
Mr. HoVton thinks if there had
been 1000 acres in the county
planted with this variety of
seed that this week would
have brought at least 200 bales
of cotton to the town.
