Smaller '55 Cotton Crop Is Forecast September 1 Estimate; For State Is 340,000 Bales Bn?ed upon conditions as of Sep tember 1, the 1955 production of cor.tor in North Carolina is fore <ast at 340,000 bales of 500 pounds gross weight. Such a production voul' 4 be 60,000 bales, or 15 per cent below the 400,000 bales fore cast un August 1, and just slight!.; below the 364,000 bales harvested in 19*4. Tin smaller total production now in prospect reflects (he damage to the crop resulting from hurricanes and heavy rains during the last half of August, according to the North Carolina Crop Reporting Service.

Hurricane Diane followed Connie by five days, being preceded and accompanied by un usually heavy rainfall Al.-e. heavy 1 r-iin continued throughout tile n r.iainder of the month.
