July 5 Official estimates of the cotton crop report of 1911 litdi-' cates tbatit will be the largest in the history of the country,, approximatg, according to the present figures, 14,415, 000 bales of 500 pounds each exceeding by almost a million . bales the record crop of 1904. Dr. N. A. Murry. acting chief of the Crop Reporting Board of the Depart ment of Agriculture, today made the following statement subsequent to the issuance of the cotton crop report : The report shows the condition of the crop to be higher than' on any cor responding date in the last ten years. A month ago the general condition wms 8.5 per cent, above the 10-year average. Today it is 10.3 per cent, above the ten year average. The acreage of cotton this year is about 85,000,000, allowing for a normal amount of abandonment about 1,000, 000 acres the indications are that ap proximately 31,000,000 acres of cotton will be harvested. "The condition indicates a probable yield. of 202.8 pounds per acre, which on 37,000.1100 acres, would mean 6,895,. 000,000 pounds, or about 14,425,000 bales. 'This calculation allows for average depreciation. The critical period in cotton- growth is in August and Sep tember, so that any estimate at thi time must be taken with some allow ance. 'The 'agest previous production of cotton in this country was in 1904, when it aggregated 13,679,954 ''bales of 500 pounds each."
