GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS. SUNDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1921 North Carolina Has the Best Cotton Crop of Any State This Year's Crop Placed At 800,000 Bales December 1 Price Was 16.4 As Compared With 16.2 For Nation's Crop 73,000,000 Pounds Sold In November At Average of $27.02. (SpmIiI to Dlllr Nm.1 Raleigh, Veu. 17. The cotton crop for 1621 wan like this year's weather. Everyone gues.ed at It and ni limed. The "Government" or bureau of markets and crop estimate. ha been orltlcls ed because their enttmates were too low thl year. The October forecast was for 480,000 bales and the Decem ber eiitlmate was 80-0,000, These esti mates were based on the reports of the same 2,100 reporters who are farmers having above the average knowledge of conditions. The "dovernment" there fore reflect! the people's veracity and Information, not that of any special official. y Since all private agencies were quite as erratic, the co-operative crop re porting service at Raleigh has decided that everyone was just fooled about the acreage and yield, or else many just tried to fool others. Then, too. the yield Improved wonderfully after the August extended drought. The ter rible boll weevil did not do nearly the damage expected In the counties ad jacent to Houth Carolina. The bright aide of this deceptive eot ton crop is that North Carolina has the beet crop of any state, having made a fine yield per acre, In view of the dry conditions, and It hat helped In Hiving the state a possible rank of third, or In the class next to the Cal ifornia and' Texas empires. Even Illi nois and Iowa seem to be surpassed If so, cotton and tobacco did It, The underestimation should have ' helped the farmers rather than otherwise. This year's crop' seems to be about BOO, 000 bales for North Carolina or almost ten per cent of the south' (1,340,000 bale crop which gives us fifth rank among cotton states. The state's yield per acre was 25 pounds and the December let price 1M as compared with 14.2 cents for the national crop. Who would have thought this state would make more cotton than South Carolina or Oklahoma, and almost as much a Georgia? . The aouth's crop made but 127 pounds or less than $26.00 per acrot. This state used a greatly decreased amount of I Gifts for Red-Blooded Boys and Girls 1 !!

The last four years have respectively shown for the entire belt,, yields per acre of 160; 162: 171; and 127 pounds averaging 27.0; 85.0; 14 0 and 16 2 cents or 844.00, $57.60, 124.00 and 120.60 per acre for 1918 to 1921 crops. Compare theee with North Carolina's per acre values of 170.60; 103. 70; Ml. 40; and $42.00; for the four crops beginning 1018. Most of Jhe present crop is sold, and ginning 11 completed the earliest In history. sEven an eight million bale crop means but 62 per cent of last -year's crop. Our unexpected large production Is but indicative of the fact that North Carolina is about the most1 fortunate cotton state In the union. Our per acre value of cropa la quite high and we are not burning corn because It la the cheapest fuel. We are behind and un progresslve In many respects but the Lord has favored us this year. The cotton yields per acre by coun ties for the coastal and piedmont areas are estimated to be as follows: Beaufort 28, Bertie 136, Bladen 215, Brunswick 140, Camden 128, Carteret 326, Chowan 346, Columbus 173, Craven 260. Cumberland 250, Currituck 340, Duplin 218, Edgecombe 225, Gates 247, Greene 276, Halifax 104, Harnett 287, Hertford .812, Hoke 270. Hyde 231.

These were actual sales during that year when the census waa made and which show ed a production of 280,168,432 pounds, from 469,011 acres. The actual sales were 16 per cent more than shown by the oensus. LThe high prices paid for tobacco dur ing; the 1810 season which averaged 61 oents, occasioned an over-pr'oduo-tlon In 1920 when farmers sales amounted to 481,408,000 pounds from 6C5.394 acrea Prices for 1920 averag ed J21.2I, or less than half of the 1011 average, and less than the actual cost of production. The result Is shown In the 1911 eron. lt being 82 per cent less than the 1920 production. During November there were 74,400, 81T pounds of farmers' tobacco sold (Including estimates for missing re ports). The price averaged 327.02 as compared with $24.71 for November last year. inis amount Is one-fourth of the total crop produced, and the season's sales of 180,931,828 pounds leaves 114, 000,050 pounds to be marketed during the remainder of the season. The markets bringing highest prices during November were Fuquar Springs $38.28,; Aberdeen $34.90, and Farmvllle $34.64... The Wilson market hi. .niri 26,839,812 pounds during the season and Winston-Salem 14,710,613 pounds. These two being the largest markets In the state. Remarks from warehousemen were as follows: Old Belt "Most of the best tobacco s sold." "Quality la largely common." Offerings are mostly tips." "Over 65 per cent of . crop marketed." "Dry weather crop made very poor quality " "Good quality brings high price and common very low." "Mostly green tip and burnt lugs." "Cutters of good quality selling wen."
