The December cotton report release by the Federal State Crop Reporting Service points to a 1945 crop of 43,000 bales for North Carolina. This is 39 per cent smaller than the 710,000 bales produced last year and is 30 per cent smaller than the 10-year average of 604,000 bales, according to Clyde Willis, State Ag riculture Department statistician. He said that approximately 85 per cent, or 367,000 bales of the crop has been ginned. The yields of lint cotton per acre is computed at 371 pounds 83 pounds less per acre than the all-time rec ord yield of 454 pounds harvested in 1944, but 45 pounds per acre higher than the 10-year average yield of 326 pounds per acre. The acreage of cotton for harvest in North Carolina from this year's crop, estimated at 550,000 acres, is less ihon for any year and 63 per cent of the 10-ycar average of 8U7, 000 acres. Willis said that abandonment of the 1U45 crop is about 1.5 per cent of the 503.000 acres of cotton in cultivation on July 1. Tex-.s, devoting 6,237,000 acres to cotton this season, ranks first with this crop in the nation, and in sec ond place is Mississippi with 2290, 000 acres.

S. Weather Bureau and the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. "Te.xperatures are expected to av erage somewhat below the seasonal normal, rather than above, as in the preceding two months although there will be considerable variabili ty, with cold spells alternating with warm spells," said the release.
