GOVERNMENT COTTON ESTI- MATE TOO HIGH; President of American Cotton Aw - . ... n . . - . a ciaticn Wants Report Investigate! Says Crop of Not Over 9,775,000 Bales Is Indicated. J. S. Wanamaker president of the American Cotton association, an-r.ounci-d at Columbia, S. C, Friuuy l ie-ht x'.i t the asscoiation would ask lor an ir.vesugauon oy onsress 01 ....- the Government report on cotton is- sued Thursday. In his statement Dr., Wanamaker said: "The government report issued Thursday gave the condition of cot ton as 54.4. The condition crop oft same day last year was given as 54.4. The indicated yield for this year, ac cording to the government report, is i8 pounds lint cotton per acre. Last year when the condition was given as being the same as this year the in dicated yield was given as only 1ST pounds. Why the difference? Re gardless of the fact that the report shqws serious damage from boll wee vil, boll worms and insects, it gives the indicated yield as being greater than last year's. The government re port appeared this time in somewhat changed form, the indicated yield be ing by States. The indicated, yieldi for South Carolina is given as 2111 pounds per acre. We know abso lutely that this is wrong. A canvass made by our association shows this to be an error. "A canvass made by the associa tion throughout the belt shows that cotton is opening prematurely, that' the bolls are undersize, the lint shovs a marked decrease. "In justice to the farmer, the man ufacturer and the consumer, an in vestigation should be authorized by Congress. Had the correct indicated yield been given, based upon acreage snown py m department - ter deducting for abandonment oi 1.570-000 acres, leaving total acre age of 32,390,000, the highest esti mate possible under the existing con ditions, with diseased plant, ravaged by insects, premature opening, etc., the indicated yield could not have exceeded 9,775,000 bales at the out side, exclusive of linters, even with a very late frost. The department's estimate of total production was about 10,695,000 'tale. SEND IN SAMPLES AND HAVE COTTON GRADED FREE Mr. P. F. Johnson, local govern ment cotton grader, complains' of not having- enough work to do. Accord ing to MjB.
