DECEMBER FIRST
COTTON REPORT
Reported by State-Federal De
partments of 'Agriculture,
Raleigh, N. C.
North Carolina's cotton crop for
the 1930 season is estimated at 795,-
000 bales on December Ist. The
acreage is about 13 percent less than
last year, while the yield per acre
was about 23 percent more.
The seasons have been rather un
favorable for most crops in this
State, however, it is well known that
dry conditions are favorable for the
production of cotton. This is well
proven in the western part of the
Piedmont belt where real drought
conditions were experienced. The
boll weevil damage would have been
very severe early in the season, ex
cept for dry weather. As it was, the
real damage from this pest was not

seriously effective until September.
With the ginnings shoeing 723,-
000 bales to December Ist, it ap
pears that about 88 percent of the
crop is ginned to this date. The har
jvest season has been favorable for
[both the picking and ginning of the
| crop. There were no appreciable long
.rainy period to interfere. As a re
jsult, the crop was picked about as
'rapidly as it was opened, and the
lint was obtained in ijood condition
I—free 1 —free from weather discoloration
| and foreign matter. It is reckoned
ithat less than 1 percent of the acre
lage in cultivation July Ist has been
j abandoned.
The heavy ginning season begins
about September 20th, extending
through November Ist. As a rule the
ginnings occur at approximately the
same rate each year. The two prin
cipal exceptions to this rule are the
crops of 1926 and 1930. The 192G
crop held a rapid ginning period un
til December Ist, when the crop was
all picked out; the 1930 crop, on the
other hand, showed high ginnings
prior to November 18th, after which
date the ginnings fell off apprecia
bly. In other words, this year shows
the greatest percent of the crop
ginned to November Ist on record—
since the boll weevil made its ap
pearance in this State. This largely
accounts for the overestimation of
the crop early in the season. Also,
the actual yield harvested is not as
great as was expected earlier in the
season.
The United States crop, estimated
at 14,243,000 bales, is appreciably
less than either of the two preced
ing crops. The yield per acre is giv
en at 151 pounds as compared with
155 each of th£ two preceding years.
About 91 percent of the crop was
ginned prior to December Ist, while
2 percent of the acreage was aban
doned after July Ist.
The world cotton crop shows the
United States and India with 1.5
percent reduction in acreage, while
the rest of the producing countries
have rather appreciable increases.
These two countries, however, have
by all odds the most acreage. In
production, the United States shows
4.6 percent decrease from last year,
while India's production is not yet
reckoned. The world crop, exclusive
of India and China, shows 18,302,-
1000 bales, which is practically the
I same as a year ago and about 4 per
| cent above the 1928 crop. The world
i production is reckoned at about 26,-
000,000 bales, which has stood
fairly still for the last three years.

THE SEALS SALE
I
The Christmas seals enterprise has !
numerous aspects. As always, there
is a division with the National and
State Tuberculosis Associations, of
10 and 15 per cent respectively, and
on their fractions of the penny a
tremendous work has been done and 1
continues to be done. In our state:
the association, with its Christmas;
seals money, has pioneered in some j
of the most vitally neeessary activi- j
ties for public health related to the j
effort to minimize the tuberculosis j
menace, that have since been taken j
over by the state and federal gov
ernments. Everyone now recognize?
the necessity of these things, as
government, functions; but we have
no reason to suppose they would
have been accepted as government
responsibilities but for this leader
ship and demonstration of private
individuals.
Again this year, there is to be a
sale of the seals with 75 percent of
the proceeds, of local application,
used largely in correction of condi
ditions of undernourishment. Tlrs
meets, partially, a need in practi
cally all, if not in every one, of the
schools. But this, also, is perhaps
of more significance in its reflection
of a future development of the pub
lic consciousness than in its day-to
day results.
It will want, all the enthusiasm of
those atding it, and this enthusiasm
applied in the most effective ways,
to make this sale of seals produce
funds at all adequate to what is
waiting to be accomplished. And it
will require, as always, a sympathetic
understanding on the part of the
public, without which the success of
any such undertaking can be but
limited.
Farm Outlook Gloomy
Say College Economists
Little improvement in the foreign
or domestic demand for southern
agricultural products; more difficult
credit conditions; probable low prices
for cotton and tobacco, and a gen
eral poor outlook for farming next
year unless one lives at home and
produces largely of food and feed
supplies for family and local use, is
contained in the preliminary agri
cultural outlook report issued last
week by the Department of Agri
cultural Economics at State college.
The report was prepared by Dr.
G. W. Forster and R. H. Rogers
following the economic conference
held recently in Atlanta, Georgia.
However, another report will be is
sued early in the new year as soon
as the intentions to plant reports
are gathered at Washington.
The preliminary report says the
price of cotton this fall was the low
est since 1915 and will likely be no
better next season due to the large
carry-over, the small consumption
of American cottons, and other rea
sons such as reduced buying power.
North Carolina will likely increase
its acreage to tobacco next season
because of the low cotton price.
Other states producing flue-cured
leaf will probably reduce but there
is already an over-production and
the consumption of cigarettes shows
definite signs of slowing up for the
present.
The peanut situation should be
better except that the crop may easi
ly be substituted for cotton. The
crop of 1930 was the lowest in re
cent years and the tariff has slow
ed up importations of the large nuts.
The, early Irish potato situation
is bad. The acreage will likely be
expanded 10 percent with resulting
lower prices than last year. The out
look is good for peaches and straw
berries and for feed and forage
crops. home dairying, \ and
home poultry growing, offer some en
couragement also,-say the economists
P. L. Bryan of Garner, Wake
county, made six bales of cotton on
18 acres in 1929 and 13 bales on
the same 18 acres this year by us
ing calcium arsenate to control the
boll weevil, he reports to county
agent John C. Anderson.
Seveial thousand pounds of vetch
seed has been planted for winter cov
er crops in the peach orchards of
Moore county this fall as the result
of better pnices for peaches this
summer.
Twenty-two baby beeves were
shipped from Halifax county last
week and 44 more will be shipped as
soon as the market advances says
J. B. Britt, county agent.
