The 61s of the Cotton Crop In Ks& - lenbnrg County Now Dependent Up on a Late Fall " " ' v Charlotte Observer. - ' ' A . Mr. Charles E. ' Bernhardt, buyer on the Charlotte market for the Cannon mills of Concord, is of the opinion that Mecklenburg will pro duce as large if not a larger crop of cotton this-year Chan last, that is if the fall is late and the season fav orable from now on. He baa recently spent some time in driving over the county and found the crops in fairly good condition. . . , : '- ' "I am of the opinion," said he yes terday, talking casually "that the erop is from one to two weeks later this year than last. There has been marked improvement in all sections during the past two or three weeks, and if we have average seasons from now on and a late faU, the crop will be equally as fine, if not better, than that oi last year." t 5 -"How about the first bale this yearf.Mr. Bernhardt was asked. v - "That is something of course tW nobody can tell," was the response. "Last year the first bale came from Lower Providence about August 26, 1 believe. This year the first bale ill probably be put upon ihe market some time the first week in Septem ber." - - . Mr. L. H. Robinson was asked yes terday about the Lower Providence crop. "It is coming along rapidly now,'' was the response. "If yu remember, from June 1 to July J2 we had .a wet spell that put things back a good deal. Recently the seasons, however, have been fine and the crop is moving along splendidly. I am looking for a good yield from the Lower Providence section if the fall is late and the seasons continue fav orable." '" : .rf It is generally agreed among the farmers that the size of the Mecklen burg crop as well as ihe general crop depends more than ever this sea son upon the lateness of the fall.:-' If is a rule that seldom varies that a cotton crop made in August is small and the crop of 1910 has certainly had month;: It lias shown ttarvelwdfr w wmw wuv iiv luahuns -Lu nil trim velopment during the rast two weeks. but large crops are ordinarily made two weeks in July and all of August. Ofcourse, if frost stays away long enough cotton will have further op portunity of maturing, but even in this event the tardiness of the crop is going to tell mightily in the yield. It is somewhat singular, too, in this connection that cotton shou'd be so late in view of the fact that it was planted earlier than- usual and that the farmers had prepared their ground splendidly before planting. Some cotton was planted last spring as early, as 'farmers tflant their cotton in other sections and everybody (.nil B I m A . . own. ouviiuiap) i i air ana ravorabie weather in the hope of getting an early crop. Unfortunately, these bright prospects were changed in ap pearance just about the time ' the young plant should have been coming up on account Of severe rains and a lapse of warm weather," the nights be coming frosty and Ihe sunshine fee bleoThis stunted the plant and from that depression it has never recover ed. -.The crop was hurled back at least two weeks and has not been able to make up for lost time during the fav orable weather succeeding. "Never look for a big crop when it has to be made in August!" said a-olose ob server of conditions yesterday. "The bijr croos are alwavs earlv and are generally made in July. For a yield Cms fall as large as the last produc tion the conditions will have to be unusually favorable from ; now on through August and well np in Sep tember." ' - Johnson Will Not Fight for a Tear. L Jack Johnson, the champion heavy weight pugilist, declared Sunday night before Jeaving Chicago for Cleveland that he would not fight again for a year. . . . . ,- Although the champion was sched uled .to appear in court on account of his arrest Saturday for speeding, he said he had left a bond for his ap pearance and would be represented by an attorney.
