Culberson County's First Cotton Bale Shown At Van Horn
VAN HORN Sept 23 Culberson County's first bale of cotton the first bale ever produced in 1949 was displayed at a main downtown street intersection. The bale came from 560 acres in lobe flats grown by the firm of Dodson and Willans. Cotton farming began after an underground water supply 12 miles south was found last winter. With ideal climate and water, a sand boom started and an average of one and one half bales per acre is expected from several thousand acres planted. Some plots may yield four bales per acre according to County Agent Sam Hastings.
