COTTON CONDITION REPORT
According to reports from thous
ands of farmers through the cotton
belt sent to the National Crop Re
porting Board, the conditions exist
ing about August 16th warrented an
increase of 362,000 bales in the esti
; mated production for the entire crop.
' This is about a 2.5 per cent increase
1 over the previous report based on
August Ist. The average yield per
l acre estimated is 144 pounds. This
! represents an increase of 4.3 pounds
per acre during the last two weeks.
The condition change, on the other
i hand, showed a decrease from 65.6
to 62 per cent during the same pe
riod. A year ago the condition was
65 per cent of a full crop. These
! conditions may improve or decline,
j depending upon later weather and in
| sect conditions. The total crop fore
j casted is 13,990,000 hales and the
area in cotton is estimated at 46,448,-
000 acres. According to the Census
i Bureau 577,921 hales were ginned to
; August 16th.
South Carolina, Alabama and Ar
' kansas were the only states showing
decreased prospective yields per acre
! during the first p. rt of the month,
i Texas conditions had 46 per cent of
a crop and show a yield of 99 pounds
per acre. This indicates 1,200,000
| hales less than Texas ginned last
| year.
North Carolina ranks among the
I leaders .n yield, with an estimate of
259 pounds per acre. This repre
sents an increase of 15 pounds per
j acre since the August Ist report, yet
I the condition of the crop remains the
same—7s per cent of a normal or
full crop. A year ago the condition
was 59 per cent. The forecasted
production for this state is 1,180,000
hales. If this crop is made, it will
he the largest production in the
State’s H story. Two times before,
. the state has made over one million
bales; namely, 1914 and 1925.
While the weevil has been seen
j and his presence is realized over al
most all parts of the state’s cotton
| belt, the weather conditions have
been sufficiently dry so that no ap
preciable damage has been done over
the needed setting of bolls. The i
Costal Plains or eastern half of the
State is making a wonderfully good
crop. Light rains in the Piedmont
counties have resulted in good boll
age in spite of the small plants. The
prospects of the crop arc good and a j
large crop may he expected unless [
adverse conditions follow.
Many reports of heavy boll weevil
damage were received from eastern
counties, but more counterbalancing
and favorable reports were also re- j
ceived. That the crop is fruiting j
well is also evident from frequent I
remarks by reporters and by field
observations made. While reports
of shedding were particularly num
erous in the northeastern counties,
this may he expected where the
plant i» already well filled with
bolls. Little poisoning has been done
since natural conditions have held
the weevil in check.
The real early pedestrian gets out
of a lot of worming getting across j
the street.
