Million Bales of Cotton May Be Har

Oklahoma City, Okla.—All indica- 1
tions point to a bumper cotton crop
throughout the state of Oklahoma this
year.
The acreage, compared with that of
last year, is about 20 per cent largei,
but there was a decrease in acreage
last year, as compared to the previous
year, so this year will be only a nor-
mal year as far as acreage is con-
cerned. The probable acreage this
year is 2,500,000.
There is no comparison between
this year's crop at this time and that
of last year—this year being far bet-
ter in acreage, quality and quantity.
