Southern Davidson again takes the palm for early cotton blooms in this county. A.W. Feezor, farmer of near High Rock, who last year was among the first to report finding blooms, had squares blossoming in his field June 28, according to a note accompanying a box of blooms received by The Dispatch this morning. These were mailed at High Rock yesterday. There were four blooms in the box sent by Mr. Feezor, which is evidence that the condition is becoming general in the field from which they were picked.
Cotton as a rule has been considered backward in Davison this year on account of lack of moisture and cold spells during the spring, but the recent rains have transformed this crop and one observant farmer stated here Monday that he considered cotton as now at its normal state for the season.
