G.L.W. Jackson Harvested Exceptional Cotton Crop, Feb. 16, 1925

Produces 95 Bales of Cotton on 65 Acres

Dunn, Feb. 15—G.L.W. Jackson, one of Harnett County’s best farmers, gathered a total of 95 bales of cotton averaging more than 500 pounds each from 65 acres planted last year on the outskirts of Dunn. While a number of Dunn district farmers have been known to produce two bales per are on a small tract, it is not thought the record of Mr. Jackson on 65 acres has been excelled. Harnett was one of the few eastern counties which produced a larger cotton crop last year than in 1923.
