STOCK FOR SALE.
that has been disposed of out of the
present crop on the state’s plantation. |
The offer for three hundred bales at j
11 cents was for the cotton at the gin ;
on the farm, the purchasers to pay in- j
surance and transportation charges, j
Advices from the convict farm are
that good progress is being made in
gathering and ginning the cotton.
So far about one-third of the crop has
’ been made ready for the market. Con
1 servatively estimated, th9 yield on
the plantation will be 1,500 bales.
What the state will get for that am
ount of cotton of course depends upon
. the price it is sold for. The crop
could be sold now, if it were ready,
tor about $72,000, estimating that there
'; are 1,300 bales outside of the two hun
dred bales already sold, which brought
about §10,000. The good crop and the
good prices will enable the peniten
tiary board to pay a considerable in
stallment on the balance due on the
1 purchase of the convict farm, the
cost price being §130,000, with $30,000
3 down. The yield of corn and other
crops on the farm will make the rev
enue from the property, inclusive of
1 the cotton, exceed $100,000 for the
first year the farm has been under
state control.
