COTTON ACREAGE REDUCED Ti

ton acreage haa b??n decreased ten '
per cent from last year**, indicating , i
a crop of 1,454,006 acres, which 11
at ita 88 per cent condition, (much <
better than any other states) fore- >
casta a yield of 267 lbe. of lint per t
acre, or 746,000 bale sfor the itate. '?
The entire Cotton Belt reported #1.8 i 1
per cent acreage compared with laat ! 1
year and condition of 70 per cent ' t
normal, which forecast* a production ! <
of 10,986,000 bales. The heavy, al. *
most continous, rains weet of Geer- '?
gia have greatly interfered with the ,1
crop acreage and condition. j'
This information is derived from
504 reliable reports, the number of <
each county varying according to ita 1
cotton importance. It is verified by '
the findings, during field investiga- 1
tions of Frank Parker and Assistant ?
Rhodes, specialist in charge of the '
Co-Operative Crop Reporting Ser- j
vice, the latter having developed 1
from the state office of the Bureau :'
of Crop Estimates. 1
The State crop as a whole fell two
per cent in condition during June 1
and ta the time of these reports, June
26, was needng rain and warmer ev
enings. In the western and northern
territory there was much rain during
the early development which stunted
the growth. The wet planting season
in the east followed by cool nights |
then dry weather has left a fair con
dition only. The southern counties
have a good crop. It is ten to fif
teen days late and small.
The scarcity and indifference of j*
our labor has reduced the acreage
and increased tenancy. The seasons '
have not been favorable for the best !
effects of commercial fertilizers, due '
to exess moisture or drought and to '
cool temperatures. There is a good '
chance yet, especially after the rain
occurring in most counties about the
time of this report. The cultivation '
has been favored by the dry weather
