Cotton ginn. d in Lamar Conn
tv as of Dec. 8. 1951. was 23.298
bales.
On Dec. 5, 1949. Lamar County
reported 39,445 bales ginned Tlie
same date in 1950. the county re
ported 11.539 bales. That was the
year bungling government regu
lators reduced usual cotton acre-
age to about 35 per cent
440,541.3 out of- about
farmland acres.
Here’s a breakdown on requests
for assistance on the eight ap-
proved practices, according to
Roy P. Mason, PMA administra-
tive officer:
Terraces—$31,437.40.
Waterways—$5,332.00.
Pools—$88,070.00.
Phosphates—$97,309.90.
Summer legumes—$9,828.42.
Winter legumes—$65,862.22.
Sericea lespedeza—$ 13,031.25.
Pasture seeds—$114,425.44.
If full assistance were granted,
the requests for assistance in
building pools would be suffici-
ent to create 703 new ones in the
county.
Mason points out, however,
I that these are maximum requests
J and that the county actually has
been allotted onlv about $105,000
in assistance on the eight approv-
ed practices.
The big job now started by the
county PMA commiittee. working
in cooperation with the 42 com-
' miimty conm ittcemen who con-
tacted individual farmers this
fall, is to break down the requests
into guarantee assistance pay-
ments. This means that each farm

Deport Area Produces 21 Per Cent Former Deport
More Cotton This Year Than Last Lady Buried in
This newspapers has repeatedly
stated this year’s cotton crop in
the Deport area was better than
^st year.
M On Dec. 5th last year Deport’s
three gins had turned out 3020
bales of cotton, with only a few
more to be ginned.
This year on Dec. 1st their total
ginnings were 3,659 bales, or an
increase of 639 bales this year
over last. It represents an in-
crease of 21 per cent.
With only about 121 more bales
expected, the 18 cotton gins in
Lamar County showed 22.927
bales of cotton ginned by Dee. 1
If the 121 expected bales are
ginned, the total bales ginned
would push past the 23,000 mark
for the year. They would bring
the total to 23,048, as compared
with last year’s 24,406 bales.
The dry weather and hot sun
^>ok an estimated 10,000-bale cut
Bom the approximate 80,000 cot
Ton acres in the county.
