THE FIRST!
Mrs. Arlene Bennett was the first Emanuel Countian to report an open cotton bloom that season. Although this was the first time Mrs. Bennett brought in an open bloom, she said shes had the first bloom a number of times in the past. She had 4.1 acres of Coker’s cotton in Twin City. The cotton was planted on the full moon in April.
