Larger Cotton
Crop This Year

m. iv<iu< viuii ui rvuvii - (j i^ui vu v/ni
olina for 1946 is estimated at 483,
000 bales, according to the first official
estimate of the Federal-State
Crop Reporting 8erviee.
This represents an increase of 13
per cent over last year's short crop,
but la 21 percent under the 10-year
(1935-44) average production. The acreage
planted this year is 34 percent
less than the 10-year average.
Based on present conditions, it is
expected that 406 pounds of lint cotton
per acre will be produced this
season. This is 37 pounds more than
was realized in 1945 and 65 pounds above
the 10-year average yield. The
acreage planted this year is placed
at 580.000, ot three percent more than
last year.
If abandonment follows the average
for the pnat 10 years, about 573,000
acres should be harvested said the es- t
timate.
The condition of cotton is running
around 76 percen of a full crop compared
to 76 percent last, year at tins
time. Boll weevils are doing considerable
damage this season, with heavy
infestations being reported in some
sreas of the State.
