First Bale of Whitewright Cotton Brought in By O J Mears
The season’s first bale, 420 pounds, arrived near Whitewright last Thursday night carried by O J Mears. The Whitewright Cooperative Gin Association paid 10c per pound, plus a $16.10 premium to Mears. The bale arrived 15 days later than last year’s first bale, with picking extending into fall as the crop is about a month late. A historical table lists first bale dates and prices from 1926 to 1940, noting two years with no sale due to missing bank head certificates in 1934 and sale-tag issues in 1938.
