It was for this reason that a neighbor gave hi m cotton seed last fall to see if he could make it grow. Gribble planted it in a flower pot, and now, some eight months later, he is about to harvest his first cotton crop. The "crop" amounts to one boll (arrow; which is beginning 10 swell after los ing its white blossom. When mature, the boll will burst, exposing the cotton fiber. The plant, which first came up like a bean, was kept indoors through the winter, according to Gribble, otherwise it never would have survived.
