A 77.5 P?re
As Compared
Washington, Jun? 1.-Th? cotton
crop of the Ulled States showed a
condition of 77.5 per cent of a normal
on May 25, tho department of agricul
ture announced today Ju its first con
dition report of the season awaited
with interest by cotton, textile and
other interests. That a ndltion com
pares with 80.0 on Ma- 25 la. t year,
74.8 In 1914. 79.1 In 1913 and 79.8,
tito average, of the last tun years on
May 25.
Until the .{ov?rnment's dfliclnl re
port estimating the area planted to
cotton this year ls issued on July i,
no calculation will bo mudo by Hie
department's expert? as to the urob
cblo si?i of thc ?TV$. ??nof?l J?.\ esti
mates placo the area pluntcd at from
G to 10 per cent more, than last year
when the preliminary estimatu made
by tho department in July was 31,
535,000 acres. Au Increase of from 0
to 10 per cot in the area thia year
would place tho aereado ut from 33,
417.000 to 34,088,500 acres.
Cotton planting was begun In the
central and. southern portions of the
belt late In March ad carly in April
but somo early'planted failed to gor
minato in Texas ' bocause of dry
weathor.' Planting* In' the , extreme
southern portions waa completed
early In April and wai progressing
satisfactorily in central . districts.
Heavy frost in Texas April,. 9 Wied
considerable cotton, lu the.lo'wv bot
toms of Mississippi the ground' was
too wet for planting-early in April.
Planting begun ia the more north
ern portions oT the bolt 'toward the
mtddlo of Aprit and wap.lgrowlg fav
orably in the central districts, -while
in the southern parts it was reported
to be coming to a good stand. Some
replanting was necessary on account
of frost damage through early : all
the central part ot the belt. In Texas
replanting was delayed by dry wea
ther, and there was a lack of rain- j
fall in the eastern parts ot the belt.
Weather waa generally favorable)
for cotton work in the southeastern j
states late In April but it was cuich
too cool for proper germination and
plant growth, and in somo sections
lt was also too dry. Cut worms were
doing mme damage in the lower Mis
sissippi, valley.' p
Early in May it. was found that
much cotton seed ' Had failed to " ger
minate well, ?hit5 fi gonbrajl^ ; poor
stand was reported, because cf ,'cold
and dry weather. Condition? woro
somewhat improved during the first
week in May bot replanting was de
layed in the southeast because of
lack of rainfall. Chopplpg wfia go?n?
