Rain, Weevil
Blamed For
Cotton Drop
Raleigh.—The State Department
of Agriculture pointed to excessive
rains in sections of the state and
to boll weevil damage after August
IS as reason for a drop in the esti
mated cotton production for North
Carolina this year from $6S6,000
bales to 646,000 between Septem
ber 1 and October 1.
The cotton yield prospect on
October "in spite of the wet weath
er conditions in North Carolina
during September’’ was 76 per cent
of a full crop, with about 320
pounds of lint cotton per acre.
"Most of the eastern counties
had excessive rainfall, resulting in
heavy boll rot and weevil dam
age,” the report said. "The south
ern and central counties had fair
ly good weather conditions. This
affected the picking and quality of j
lint.” '
Says Textile Situation
Steadily Grows Better
The situation in the textile in
lustry, from the standpoint of the
•elations between employers andj
imployees, is steadily growing bet
:er, Roy R. Lawrence of Winston
ialem, president of the North Car
slina federation of labor says.
"Yes, it is getting better right
ilong,” said Mr. Lawrence. "There
s less discrimination being prac-i
:iced, considerably less, than there
vas immediately after the conclu-|
lion of the textile strike. Of course,
:here are still sore spots here and
:here in the state, but it is getting
setter. Both sides are showing bet
:er dispositions to get together, I
am quite sure, and 1 feel that
things are improving all the time.’’
Mr. Lawrence said he was inter
ested in the announcement severa
days ago from Washington that
Judge Walter P. Stacy’s textile re
lations board was planning to set
up a sub-board in Charlotte to
have charge of the textile situa
tion in the Carolinas, but had
heard nothing further of the plan.
He supposed, he said, it was in
process of development. Mr. Law
rence expressed keen pleasure at
the originial announcement of
Judge Stacy’s appointment as
chairman of the national board.
