One of the Largest Cotton Crops Ever Grown Amounted to 14,127,356 Bales of Lint. Washington Dispatch, 30th. One of the largest cotton crop" s ever grown, amounting to 14,127,356 euiv alent 500-pound bales of lint and 639, 795 equivalent 5001b males of lint ers, was produced by the farmers of the United States during 1913. The census bureau announced today its preliminary report of cotton ginned as reported by by ginners and delinters. to February 28. These figures compare with 13,703,. 421 equivalent 500 pound bales of lint and 609,594 bales of linters last year, and 15,692,701 bales of lint and 557, 575 bales of linters in 1911. The department of agriculture's es timate, announced December 12, plac ed the 1913 crop at 13,677,000 equiva lent 500-pound bales. - With this report the bureau of cen sus departed from its previous meth od of reporting the cotton crop by not including the quantity of linters in the total production. Director Wilr liam J. Harris announced that this was done, because with the installa tion of modern machinery closer de linting of seed had largely increased the quantity of linters and at the same time lowered the average qual ity of the fibre, so that now, only a small part if any, was used as a sub stitute for lint cotton. The number qf running bales of lint cotton, counting round as half bales, was 13,964,981, and of linter cotton, 629,019 running bales, compared with 13,488,539 running bales lint and 602.- 324 running bales of linters last year, I ana ib,oo6,)ii running bales of lint and556,276 running bales of linters in 1911. Included in the production for 1913 are 29,267 bales which ginners estima ted would be turned out after the time of the March canvass. Round bales included numbered 99, 916 compared with 81,528 last year and 101,554- in 1911. Sea Island bales included, 777,490," compared with 73,777 last year and 119,293 in 1911. The average gross weight .of bale for the crop, counting round as half bales and excluding linters, was 505.08 pounds, compared with 508.0 last year 504.5 in 1911. , The number of ginneries operated for the crop of 1913 was 24,730, com pared with 25,279 for the 1912 crop. Production of North Carolina in equivalent 500-pound bales, exclusive of linters, withcomparisons. and the department of agriculture's Decem ber estimate, which excludes linters follow: North Carolina: Total production, 789,944 bales, compared with 865,653 m 1912 and 1,075,826 in 1911.
