Some are waiting for a killing
frost now to finish up.
Even at this stage of the harvest
farmers are still sort of keep-
ing their fingers crossed.” West
Texas farmers have learned from
long experience that it never psy*
to guess about a cottdn crop. They
wait until the last bole Is pulled
before they- “stick their necks
out.”
Even the most conservative,
however, can base the year’s yield
on whst has already been harvest-
ed and say that West Texas had
a good cotton crop this year.
