COTTOS PRODUCTION IN UNITED STATES i A pamphlet entitled "Cotton Pro duction in the United States 1919" will shortly be issued by the Bureau o the - Census. The revised figures of-cotton ginned from the crop - of 1919 are 11,824,541 running bales, counting round is half bales. The equivalent it 50 expound bales, gross weight, is ,1,797, and in 500 pound baJeajet weight; 3,0,.923,5i2. This is the fifth successive short crop,- all of thosei- f rom 1915 to 1919. Inclusive, ranging between eleven million and ' twelve million bales. Compared with the crp of 1918, all of the states, with the exception- of Arizona, ' Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas show a-reduction, the great est loss being fox Georgia from 2,- 117-,8H bales io 1,678,765 bales, ' a loss of 439,102 hales, Florida show ed the largest proportional loss, drop ping front 34,951' bales to 17,317. The loss in this state "was due to de creased acreage and to the ravages of the boll weevil, y Oklahoma almost doubled the production ' of 1918, in creasing from -585,149 bales to 1.- 001,187-? bales.'- Texas, also- showed an increase of bales. During the ten-month period end ing May- SHy-1919,' the production; of linters amounted to 605,872 bales. This, is - the- smallest - production of linters since before, the European war which stimulated the demand for use in the manufacture of gun cotton and smokeless powder and resulted in-a large increase in ' the . cut of lin ters per ton of seed. . The cut per ton during the present season averages a little over -75 pounds whereas in 1918 the mills -were required to cut about '150 pounds. - As a result the grade linters being produced is bet ter than during the war. ' .,- i The sea-island crop of 1919 -was only 6,916 : bales, which compares with, the-1916 crop f 1.11,559 "bales, This practical abandonment of s- the growing of sea-island cotton is due to the infestation, of the boll weevil throughout the entire sea-Island belt. ' i . " ' While cotton is grown to a greater or less extent in seventeen states, the combined productions of Georgia, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Tex as, all of which returned more than one, million bales, was 7,10,557 bales Or 62.3 per cent of the total crop for the year. Texas; alone produced 2,- 906,335 bales, or 26 per cent; Geor gia, 1,687,758 bales, or 14.7 per cent; South Carolina, 1,462,277 bales: or 12.8 per cent; and Oklahoma, 1,001, 187 bales, or 88-8 per cent. Only one county . produced more than 100,000 bales from the crop 4f 1919r namely : Bolicar, Mississippi, with 106,898 bales. PRODUCTION. OP FRUIT IN NORTH CAROLINA North Carolina promises its best fruit ' crop in years, . based on condi tions of June 15. - Conditions-indicat ed fifty per cent of a full crop of ap ples and sixty six per cent of peaches. Practically , all fruit througnout the State made a satisfactory growth, of wood and a splendid set of fruit buds for this year's crop. Favorable weather, prevailed during the win terr and with the exception of weak ened peach trees very little winter Injury occurred. , . The apple crop in these sections was Injured by the frosts and cola that occurred In April around the 6 and 14 and during the 15 and 16 of May, but the most general injury was caused by unfavorable weather at blooming -time. The rainy weather and cold winds that' prevailed in many sections during blooming time caused poor pollination by preventing the ' unrestricted work - of - insects There was a heavy bloom in most sec tions, but as a result of poor pollina tion a large amount of fruit dropped off. '- ' ' - Peaches in the mountain and Pied mont sections were' injured by fros and cold during April and in certain sections the frost and cold period in May reduced the crop. Practically a full crop of - peaches is indicated throughout the coastal plain and the sand hills. However, in these sec tions, there . has been considerable winter injury to the trees. : 'To, the sand hill section, which is the largest commercial peach district in the state, a splendid crop will be 'harvested. The number of bearing trees is increasing every year and the production this year ' will be in the neighborhood of 250 cars. Good prices are being quoted for peaches at this date on the different markets, and returns should prove satisfactory. ' The' drop was heavy throughout the State this year, especially so with applesthroughout the mountains be cause of poor pollination": and frosty weather. While blight has been in dicated as being severe in some sec tions, the state as a 'whole reports very little blight this year.- Grapes and small fruits indicate a very good crop. ' : Pecans in Eastern North Carolina promise to be below normal because of the' very heavy production of last year and the unfavorable weather in certain sections at blooming time. .

Carolina made to the state board of health for the month of June show the ' smallest number of typhoid (over cases since accurate statistics nave been kepi in the state. For the month a total of 152 cases were reported as against 4.32 cases reported during June of test year, a reduction' of; '280 cases this year." ' The state board of health has been concentrating in its' efforts against typhoid fever throufh anti-typhoid vaccination and the installation of sanitary privies. These efforts are bearing fruit,, as shown' in the de crease in the number of . cases and in the steadily decreasing number of deaths from this cause. In 1914 there were 8.39 deaths from typhoid in the state. In 1919 there were 427, a reduction of more than fity per cent in five years. The summer months, of the fly months, mark the height of the- pre valence of the disease, August show ing the greatest number of cases and the largest number of deaths. The state board of health,: in' co-operation with the county authorities, is now conducting dispensaries for the ad ministering ' of - anti-typhoid vaccina tion in a number of counties, and in all counties ' w&ere dispensaries ar6 iot being conducted the anti-typhoid vaccine is being furnished without cost by the state laboratory to phy sicians for the treatment of the lo cal people. - In addition' every effort is being made to enforce the sanitary privy law, "and thereby prefent the! spread pt typhoid fever and otheK in testinal diseases which are transmit ted by flies. ' Not only were the people of the sfate almost free from typhoid fever last month, but the reports indicate that the public health was never bet ter.- The following are the number of cases of the several reportable di seases for the month: . - Whooping cough, 1,475; measles, 681; .diphtheria, 43; scarlet fever, 74; Septic sore throat, 12; small pox, 243; chickenpox, 139; typhoid fever. 152; meningitis, 13; German measles, 1 ; ' opthalina neonatorium, 5 ; trach- coma, 4; typhus fever, 2. NEW BERN MUST BUILD HOMES FOR ITS PEOPLE A shipbuilding concern , is said to have a tentative contract to construct a number of . vessels - in NEW BERN provided quarters can be secured for several hundred additional workmen and their families in the city and en viroms. ' -.''. - ' For some time, there has been a general complaint' of the scarcity of houses ink NEW BERN. There are not enough houses to take care of the present population. Prospective cit1 izens are passing up NEW BERN be cause of living conditions and many who are already here are not satis fied. And now a substantial increase in the population-of the: city is about to be lost because homes for three hundred men and their families who want to come here cannot be provid ed. ' ' We recognize that the high cost of lumber and labor and other build ing material, and the scarcity of these things, has had a depressing effect upon building activities. These con ditions are , not confined to NEW I BERN alone, but are the general outcome of the war in all localities. ' But the war is over now, and there has been a considerable drop in the price of lumber. It would seem to be within the realm of the possible for something to be done. Three hundred men and their fam ilies would-mean a flattering increase In the population of cities much lar ger than NEW BERN. We cannot afford to lose this accretion to our population, even if there is some cost attached to bringing these people here. No doubt the shipbuilding cor poration which will benefit from the contract would do its part toward se curing the necessary homes. Here is a chance for . the spirit of NEW BERN to lift its head out of the dust REASON WHY IS IMMATERIAL NOW It will be for the state board of elections to say with authority who has won the democratic nomination for Governor; but we take it that few folk any longer have doubt that the choice of the second primary is Cameron Morrison, We have no desire to hold a post mortem, it we had known what was going to kill off the two candidates we have voted for against Mr. Morri son, we should have tried to make intelligent use of that information It would be valueless now to anybody who had it. Mr. Morrison, conceded that he has won, has done so because he got the most votes; that's about as far as we care to go Into the question of how come. " But while confessing our inability to see how he did it, we cheerfully face the prospect. He has fought against pretty heavy odds and in reasonably fair manner. Numbers of his Influential friends doused him with cold water; nine-tenths of the enthusiasm amoas Ws supports came from th- non-commissioned men in the democratic army this despite the repeated charge that federal office-holders were unduly active in his behalf. ' When a man can inspire the loy alty that Mr. Morrison has inspired in thousands there must be more to him than, his opponents: in the heat of the conflict were willing to concede Nor does it matter that almost as many thousands still believe that they could have picked a better nomi nee; it must be admitted that he has come up out of great tribulations.
