Clyde Robinson Gins First Bale For Whitewright
Clyde Robinson, a leading Ida farmer, brought Whitewrights first bale of cotton four days later than last year. His 2120 pound load yielded a 443 pound bale ginned by Lloyd Alexander, with a second bale later by Bill White. This marks the eighth year he has opened Whitewright’s bale season. He did not sell this week due to the government price plan. A and B cotton distinctions affect pricing and loans. The Whitewright Chamber of Commerce awarded Robinson a 25 dollar premium.
