Aside from 1934. it is the lightest cotton crop since 19?3 The averaee production for the ? 4AOA fifiOO in. j live vraic t i^o, elusive, was roughly 14.000.000 bales annually. Thus It will be seen that the current crop Is between three and -four millian bales below the average. Picking and ginning has begun. In some of the earlier sections. The harvesting of th? crop is well under way in South Texas and the first bales have been coming lntp market from various Geory gia points. Florida harvesting * has also begun. Picking and ginning is alfo under way in parts of Alabama. Weather Favorable For Growth During the past two or three weeks the weather has been fairly favorable for growth and the condition of the crop has held its own. and in some cases improved. Rainfall has been rather heavy in some sections but on the whole has not been damaging. 8ome of the sections of Oklahoma and Arkansas that were hard . hit by floods earlier in the season have made rapid progress. Prospects in these states have Improved materially. Taking the country as a- whole the condition of the crop Is better than last year but somewhat , poorer than in 1933. The rela' tively small acreage will hold i down the yield, however. ?Continued On Page Six Cotton Estimate Is Made By U. S. D. A. Government estimate of the cotton crop at 11,798,000 bales is larger than the trade anticipated, as is shown by the trade estimate published on this page, and forwarded A) our State Fanner Section by its New York correspondent before the Department of Agriculture had released its statement. Ample credit facilities for orderly marketing of the crop will be available, according to Secretary Wallace, ?J$!o said the administration saw no cause for alarm in the crop estimate, particularly as the 3,000,ono hales now held by the govern ment would not come into competition with the new crop until prices had reached 13 cents. - If the world consumption is. maintained at present levels, he declared, foreign and domestic mills can absorb in. excess of 11,000,000 bales. . The greatest increases in farm land . values hi relation to a year agd occurred in the southern states particularly in the Carolinas. Increased returns from the cotton and tobacco crops were largely responsible. 4 g| MONTHLY te W; WA GOVERNOR OLIN D.

Various types of farmers' cooperatives have been performing many services for their members for a good many years. I am sure the readers of "The State Farmer Section" are thoroughly familiar with thpsp roooeratives. During luanj v* v**vw- w ? t the past two years, however, farmers' cooperative credit institutions have greatly increased their usefulness. This period has been marked by the saving of thousands of farmers in all parts of the country from the loss of their farms through foreclosure. This has been made possible, by the extension of mortgage, credit on a sympathetic, bui sound busines basis by farmers' cooperative credit units. Not only wert; loans made by the Federal iand banks through local, national farri loan associations on first mortgage seodty, but these cooperative Institutions handled hundreds of thousands of emergency first and AGRICULTURAL FEi mm RRENTON, N.

Contrary to the usual trend of prices, the market strengthened in midseason. This was due to the cleanuo of the Georgia crop and the light production in states of the same season as the Carolinas.

These loans have relieved a large part of the financial stress confronting the farmers in these bwo states by placing their indebtedness on a sound business basis and putting It in a form which they can expect to repay gradually due systematically over a serieis of years. In addition to preventing foreclosures, the refinancing program of the Federal land banks lias reduced interest charges on all loans and in many instances actually reduced the total debt burden. ?Continued on Page Two - ^**1 SectionTwol USDA ESTIMATES BIGGER TOBACCO CROP THAN 1934 Over Billion Founds Will Be Harvested?Less Than 5 Year Average W. rARAI IMi AO PttRfFNT i ' i ? * \s a- ?

Canned corned beef has been on3 of the principal items of import and weekly importations have averaged from 500,000 to 1,000,000 pounds. The importations of this item are all from the Argentine Uruguay and Brazil. ? Recently, however, some leavy importations of New Zealand frozen meats have been made. During the week ended July 25 nearly 7,000,000 pounds of New Zealand meats were imported via New York. Most of the imports consisted of frozen beef but some veal and pork was received also. It is probable that further imports will be made so Ion? as prices are favorable for exportation.
