Raleigh, N. e„ Oct. I.—The cot
ton crop has experienced record con
ditions this yfcar in drought, heat, re
duced acreage, boll weevil damage, de
cieased usage ol fertilizer, early mt
tunty and shortage late and top crop.
Although conditions were favorable
1 for the early harvesting of the crop
I theiv has resulted the shortest yield
and lowest production in history.
I i.rades sluiuld be good
| '"llowed the largest carry ofer of
; cotton stocks perhaps ever known.
The crop report released on the 3rd,
j covering North Carolina, shows a to
' tal production of 489,000 baler, fore-
I casted from a f>4 per cent condition
based on 1,156,(KK) acres at 192 pounds
per acre. If the price a»erages 21
cents aiul it should average more for
this nop, the total value will be $49,-
l(Mi, (Mil) as against last year's crop
; reckoned at Hi.2c per poiifed, $41.50 '
1 per acre value, this year, is lesg than
j last year's and -only 40 per ecnt of
two years ago.
Ihe acreage is found to be about
| 7(i per cent oflast year, the condition
| 7!) per cent in comparison; the yield
.0 per cent; production 5.'! per cent
j and total apparent value of the crop,
| 7(1 per cent compared with last crop,
j I lie decline in condition of cotton
| within the past month was K per cent
and 14 per cent in the past two months
| Last year there whs an increase con
dition ol a per cent in tjitf same period.
I In IUJ«». the yield par acre of lint
| was 275 pounds, and this year, 192
pounds. The late reports show that
there is perhaps 6 per cent less acre
age than the earlier or preliminary
ic.iorts showed, which means that
there is almost a third reducti ,n from
la-1 year's harvested area.
ol_Per Cent Picked
'I lie latest reports indicate (it pel
cent of the crop is pick-d, with (ier
haps 95 per cent of the bolls open
to date. The average picking wages
of seed cotton is 70 cents per -1 1 tied
