Westbrook Lee Sr. Pleased with Township's Cotton Crop, Nov. 19, 1925

In conversation with Mr. Westbrook Lee Sr. of Westbrook Township, he said that the cotton crops in that section are above the average. Mr. Lee said that while the boll weevil played a very important part in the late crops, he was rarely seen among the earlier crops in that vicinity. In order to summarize, said Mr. Lee, the crops are splendid. Mr. Lee is highly pleased with farming conditions in his section in general this fall and says that all are enjoying their share of prosperity.
