Gaines' Cotton Harvest Complete
248,297 Bales Processed for 2013 Gaines Cotton Growing Season
All Gaines County gins have
ceased operations for the 2013 cot-
ton season, according to a Tuesday
morning polling conducted by the
Seminole Sentinel
At the close of the 2013 harvest
season last week, Gaines County's
eight gins had processed 248,297
bales of cotton with Oasis Gin, locat-
ed 18 miles southwest of Seminole,
being the last gin to cease operations
for the season.
Gaines' bale total jumped slightly
from the 245,410 processed bales
reported by the Sentinel in a Janu-
ary 6 report.
The latest Sentinel report comes
days following a report from officials
with the Plains Cotton Growers, Inc.,
which stated 2013 harvest estimates
had been raised in the latest statistical
reports.
' According to the latest estimates
from the National Agricultural Sta-
tistics Service, High Plains cotton
growers will produce 2.67 million
Domino's:
From Page 1A
On Saturday, according to the store's Facebook page, the Seminole
location had reached 88-percent in sales when compared to the Andrews
store's October feat.
"In my 181/2 years of being associated with Domino's Pizza, I have never
experienced a sales day like we did Sunday," said Cassie Gerety, who said
some customers had order wait times totaling over 1 1/2 hours at certain
points of the day.
"We literally had no place to put our orders," she said. 'We had orders
stacked on top of orders and had all three of our ovens full of pizzas, cook-
ing as fast as we could."
Cassie Gerety added that despite the lengthy wait, local customers were
"patient," "understanding," and "encouraging" of the new business venture.
"The people of Seminole were so patient, understanding and encouraging
of our situation," said Gerety. 'We are proud to be apart of a supportive
community like Seminole and can't wait to continue to be apart of this
community for many years to come."
The Seminole Domino's Pizza franchise, located at 800 S. Main St., is
unique to many other franchise locations with their "Pizza Theater" concept
According to SaRena Keneston, Director of Marketing for Dominos, the
"Pizza Theater" is an experience where you can see your pizza being made
right in front of you.
"Unlike other 'traditional' Domino’s locations, you can gather with friends
and family to dine-in the restaurant," she said. "For the kids of all ages, there
is an enormous chalkboard wall to express their creativity and/or leave
feedback for the store team, a feature that everyone will love. TV’s will be
tuned in to sports events to watch your favorite team."
Founded in 1960, Domino's Pizza is "the recognized world leader in
pizza delivery operating a network of company-owned and franchise-
owned stores in the United States and international markets," according
to the company's website. "Domino's Pizza’s Vision illustrates a company
of exceptional people on a mission to be the best pizza delivery company
in the world."

bales of cotton for the 2013 crop,"
said Mary Jane Buerkle, Director of
Communications and Public Affairs
with the PCG. "This is a 195,000
bale increase from the December
report"
Buerkle went on to state yield
estimates increased for both por-
tions of the Plains Cotton Growers
service area, with an average yield of
960 pounds per acre in the northern
half and 648 pounds per acre in
the south.
TheU.S. Dept of Agriculture's Na-
tional Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) estimates that Texas cotton
growers will produce 4.3 million
bales of upland cotton for the 2013
crop, an increase of 200,000 bales
from the December report. The
statewide figures are down from the
5 million bales produced in Texas
in 2012, but up from the 3.5 million
in 2011.
Nationwide, growers are slated to
produce 12,551,000 upland bales,
up 108,000 from December's report
of 12,443,000.
Looking forward to the 2014
crop, the first benchmark of plant-
ing intentions will be in February,
upon the release of the results of the
National Cotton Council's annual
survey during their annual meeting.
With cotton prices remaining in the
80-cent range, and feedgrain prices
weakening, experts project that cot-
ton acreage could increase in 2014
in some parts of the Cotton Belt,
including Texas.
Other Cotton News
According to the Wall Street
Journal on Tuesday, demand for
U.S. cotton is picking up, adding
to concerns about the availability of
supplies of the fiber.
Net export sales of upland cot-
ton—the most commonly grown
variety in the U.S.—totaled223,700
bales in the week ended Jan. 9, up
46% from the prior four-week aver-
age, the U.S. Department of Agri-
culture said. It was the largest sales
number, minus any canceled orders,
since the week ended Dec. 12.
The news helped boost cotton
prices to the highest level in nearly
five months. Cotton traded on the
ICE Futures U.S. exchange ended
at 86.80 cents a pound Friday, put-
ting the one-week gain at 5.1%, the
biggest weekly increase since June.
"Sales have been good. They've
been pretty steady," said Michael
Quinn, president of the Garner,
N.C.-based Cotton Growers Co-
operative, which sells cotton from
1,400 members.
The U.S. exports more cotton than
any other country in the world. Its
biggest customers are in Asia, where
mills spin the U.S. fiber into thread
and yam to make textiles.
But the most recent U.S. harvest,
which ended last year, is also likely
to be the smallest in four years: 13.2
million bales. That is the result of
excessive rain in the Southeast U.S.
last year and the decision by some
growers to plant higher-priced crops,
such as com, instead.
"We’ve had a little less to work
with," Mr. Quinn said. "Our yields
were not as good."
The recent price gains could
encourage growers to plant more
cotton this spring.
This is malting cotton more com-
petitive," said Sterling Smith, a
futures specialist at Citigroup.
He added, however, that "we are
still at the guessing stage."
The first estimates for cotton plant-
ing won't be released until February.
Until then, the market will be keep-
ing an eye on how well U.S. cotton
is selling.
The next export-sales report,
due Friday, could also be a "game
changer," said Michael Sweeney, a
senior cotton broker at Marex Spec-
tron in New York. If export sales fell
last week, prices could follow suit,
he said.
'We don't belong at 86-87 cents
[a pound], certainly," Mr. Sweeney
said. "I think it's a little expensive."
