NEARLY 15 MILLION BALES. Official Estimate of Size of 1911 Cotton Crop Largest on Rec ord. Washington DUpatch. 12th. The total production of cotton in the United States for the sea son of 1911-12 will amount to 7,- 121,713,000 pounds (not includ ing linters), 14,885.000 bales of 500 pounds, gross weight, accord ing to the first official estimate of the size of the crop issued at 2 p. m. today by the crop reporting board of the United States De partment of Agriculture and made up from reports of the cor respondents and agents of the Bureau of Statistics jthroughout the cotton belt. Heretofore the record cotton crop was that of the year 1904 when 13,438,012 bales, exclusive of linters, was grown. Other large crops were those of 1906, which was 13,273,809 bales, and 1908, when 13,241,799 bales were grown. In point of value, how ever, the crop of 1910, which was 11,608,616 bales, exclusive of linters, was the record one. the fiber being valued at $820,320,000 and the cotton seed at $142,860, 000, a total of $963,183,000 as the aggregate value of the cotton crop of that year. Conditions early in the grow ing season this year lead to the belief that the crop would be one of record proportions. Fra t esti mates of the yield, based on the condition figures, placed the probable production well toward the figures of the biggest crops heretofore grown. The acreage qn whieffcotton whs planted this, season was estimated by the De partment of Agriculture to be 35,004,000 acres, a greater area han ever before planted to cot ton in this country. This vast area exceeded the previous record of acreage by more than 2,500 000 acres, there having been planted 32,444,000 acres in 1908, and 32,403,0u0 acres last year. In the record production year ot 904 only 30,053,739 acres weie planted. The estimated production by States in 500- pound bales, exclu sive of linters, follows: Virginia, 23,000: North Caro- ina, 935,000: South Carolina, 1,- 480,000; Georgia, 2,560,000; Flor ida, 73,000; Alabama, 1,600,000; Mississippi, 1,195,000; Louisiana, 395,000; Texas, 4,280,000; Ar kansas, 915,000; Tennessee, 420,- 000; Missouri, 83,000; Oklahoma, 915.000; California, 11,000.

Neli. viii. Golden Teit The law ol Ujp Iorrt is perfect, converting the soul. Ph. 7ix:7. (1.) Verses 1-5 What can be said for, or against, the churches in th-? community uniting at least once a year, in a camt; meeting, with no other object but to quicken spiritual life and get sinners converted? (2.) Where was this great meeting of the Jews held, and what was its ob ject? (3.) What answer would you make to thev statement that it is the duty pt, the churches in the large centres to have street meetings? (4.) What results will surely follow, when all the people are eager to have the law of God read to them? (5.) How long did the first meet ing last? (6.) There is a general demand for fehort sermons; what is this a sign of? Is it poor or uninteresting preach ing, or a growing lack of spirituality on the part of the preachers or people, or what? (7.) Verses 6-7 WThich is the more becoming and natural in public wor ship, and why, the hushed silence which generally prevails with us. or hearty and glad responses as in this case? (8.) If our public prayers were rnor" of the "and Ezra blessed the Lord" type, out of Jubilant hearts; how longj would it take to get the people to re spond as these worshippers did? ! (9.) Ezra had at least fourteen help ers, besides tbe Levites, to assist him in explaining the law, each no doubt having a class to himself; what re semblance Is this to modern Bible, Classes? (10.) Why is it that there is not the same realized obligation resting upon church members to attend clas ses where the Bible is studied, as to attend the regular church service? (11.) Is our present method of ora torical and textual preaching a suc cess as a teaching agency? Give your reasons. (12.) Verse 8 What agency, other than the Bible School, is there in the Christian church of which it can be said, "So they read the book and caused them to understand the read ing"? (13.) Verses 9-11 What made the people weep so much? (14.) Why have sinners a reason to weep, when the word of God is brought home to them? (15.) When we, by the grace of God, have put ourselves in harmony with God's law, is it right for us to weep over our past sins? (16.) Why Iri it a duty, as well as a privilege, for us to rejoice and be glad? (17.) rs it still right for us, and why, to hold feasts and banquets, and get joy out of eating and drinking? (This Is one of the question that may be answered In writing by membere of the club.) (18.) Verse 12 What provision is being made to-day for feeding and clothing the poor? (19.) Verses 13-18 Is preachmg or singing, or praying, or study of the Bible, in tents occasionally, likely to be more effectual than under usual circumstances? (20.)
