Cotton in Linden brought 8:60
last week with excellent demands.
It seems that the government sub-
sidy is helping the sale. It is time
for last year our exports were off
40 per cent. We don't seem overly ,
anxious to raise cotton at a price'
that will compete with Brazil and
other countries. Brazil wraps her[
cotton in cotton bagging, grades
the cotton before sealing and never
cuts the bagging. She went into
cotton production as her coffee
sales went off, and as we cut our,
acreage.

and shipping it to Europe without}
the bag ever being cut. The Euro-
pean spinners arc delighted and
said they would pay a premium for
that kind of cotton. The inspectors
weigh the bale and the weight is.

ernment. In our county we raise)
