A computer printout suggests Dawson County may reach its Six Millionth Bale of cotton as early as 1977 with projections into 1978 or 1979. Estimates show 5 443 608 bales produced from 1917 to 1975, making the county a top dryland cotton area with plans for a public celebration. Local figures note 1975 yields around 200 000 bales and highlight past peaks such as 323 000 in 1973 and 230 000 in 1972.
