Reasoning that the yield this year will not likely be as abnormally high as it was last season, Mr. Blalock said curtailment In the use of fertiliser, weather conditions, and the ever pos sibility of boll weevil damage are fac tors to be reckoned with. But even with the expectation of adverse weather conditions, he said, there is nothing on the borixon at the present to indicate prices for this year’s crop will be materially higher than they were last year. "Exports are picking up and for the first six months of this cotton year we have exported over a million balm mere than we did last year,” he said. “But even with this Increased ratio of exports and a goodly increase in domestic consumption, it- is going to leave us with an exceedingly large carryover of American cotton at the beginning of the new cotton year.” NEWSPAPER PUBUSHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA.
