The 1931 cotton crop indicated for North Carolina on September 1st was 715,000 ( 500 pounds gross weight), bales, according to the re port by thg. United States depart ment of agriculture, released Sep tember 8th. This Indication Is 60, 000 bales less than the 1970 crop and 3,000 bales more than was esti mated a month ago. The forecast Is based on a condition estimate ol 77 per cent of normal on September 1st, as compared with 67 per cent on this date last year and * past ten-year average condition of 66 per cent on September 1st. The yield per acre indicated for the state by the condition, allowing for prospective weevil damage. Is 255 pounds dine i This is 30 lbs m<#re than was harvested last year, and abaut 8 pounds above the past ten year average yield The weevil damage In the state apparent on September 1st is severe In many of the eastern cotton coun ties and rainy weather occurring during August has been rattier fav orable for further damage from this source. In the southern Pied mont counties weevils have not been so destructive as they were last year, although considerable evidence of damage is to be found there.
