Poor Cotton
Crop Is Seen
Washingtan, Sept. 2~An in-
crease during August of 214,000
bales in the prospective cotton
crop this year was shown in to-
day’s eotton report of the de-
partment of agriculture which '
forecast a total of 11,230,000
bales. The condition of the crop
61.4 percent of a normal, showed
a decline of 5.7 points from July
25 to August 25 compared witu
an average decline during the
last ten years of 7.7 points.
Boll weevils, ball worms, army
worms and red spider com-
bined with almost continued j
rains over considerable areas of
the belt with dry hot weather
following the heavy rains, caus-
ed the deterioration of the crop.
In Virginia, Georgia and Flor-
ida the decline was heaviest, be-
ing thirteen points in Virginia,
twelve in Georgia and Florda.
.In Alabama it was nine and in
North Carolina and Texas six
points.
Sea Island cotton in Georgia 1
and Florida practically has been j
destroyed by weevils which are
damaging the crop in South Car-
olina.
In Mississippi and Alabama,
where the crop is short because
of the boll weevil, most of it will
be harvested by October 1, Out-
side the weevil infected areas i?
the crop continues two weeks or 1 ®
more late.
Last year’s crop was 12,040,-
532 bales.
The condition of the crop by
states on August 25 was: Vir-
ginia, 67; North Carolinia, 70;
South Carolinia, 67; Georgia, 55;
Florida, 58; Alabama, 55: Missis-
sippi, 61; Lousiana, 47; Texas,
61; Arkansas, 65; Tennessee, 69;
Missouri, 7.5; Oklahoma, 71; Gal-'
ifornia, 98; Amonia, 90.
