J.N. Wynn of Ridgeway Shows First Cotton Bloom, July 10, 1925

The First Cotton Bloom

The first cotton bloom of the season was sent to your office by Mr. J.N. Wynn of Ridgeway on Monday, the 6th of July. It was a red bloom, therefore it opened on the 5th, which was just one day late of the 4th. To have a bloom by the 4th of July is said to be an indicator of a good crop year.
