THERE STATED
By United Press.
MERCEDES, Texas, Sept 17.—
The cotton season in Rio Grande
Valley for 1928 is rapidly drawing
to a close.
PI. P. Boyd, of San Benito, man-
ager of the Valley Gin Co., which
operates gins in practically every
Valley town, predicts that not more
than 90,000 bales will be ginned
this year. Total ginnings to date,
are in the neighborhood of 85,000
bales.
An early estimate of this year’s
crop placed the total bales at 100,-
000. Rapid deterioi’ation in the
second crop has caused a, decide!
falling off in the total ginnings for
the 1928 season. Despite unfavor-
able weather, the quality of the cot-
ton continues good.
Mercedes, in the central section of
the Valley, Avas hit by a hail storm
early in the season and much cotton
was destroyed.
