Cotton Harvest Peaks Ahead In High Plains Area
The 1961 High Plains cotton harvest, aided by faster gins, may reach a peak late this week under favorable weather.

Palmer of the central cotton classing office notes a three week peak is possible, with green blooms found in December in isolated pockets, and marketing shows weekly purchases near 52,000 bales.
