PUTS COTTON CROP
AT 10,950,000 BALES
? i
GOVERNMENT FORECAST ON YlELIv
SMALLEST IN SIX YEARS.
(iinnin? Is Far Advanced and lMekinsr
Practically Completed in
Some Sections.
^Washington, Oct. 4.?A heavy de-j
cline in the condition of the growing ,
cotton crop almost doubled the average
decline of the last ten years during
September, has decreased the production
prospects forecasted previously by j
four million bales. The department of 1
agriculture today estimated the crop ,
at 10,950,000 equivalent 500-pound
bales, which would be the smallest
crop since 1909.
The condition of the cotton crop of:
the I nited States on September 25 was '
0.8 per cent of a normal, compared
with 69.2 per cent on August 25, 73.5
last year, 64.1 in 1812, and 6S.8 pel
cent the average of the past ten years\
on September 25. That announcement!
was made at noon today by the crop I
reporting board of the United States I
department of agriculture, in its final j
condition report of the season.
The September 25 condition indicates
a yield of 168 pounds of lint per acre,
which, applied to the planted acreage |
less the average abandonment?1.3 per
cent?indicates a total of 10,950,000 j
equivalent 500 pound bales, compared
with 16,135,000 bales ginned last year.
Final results probably will be above
or below the amount indicated, according
as conditions after September 25
are better or worse than average.
Statement by Board.
In announcing tne condition report
and production estimate, the crop reporting
board made this statement.
"The cotton crop condition declined
8.4 points during the month, August
25 to September 25, which compared
with an average decline in the samt
period in the past ten years of 4.5
points. The estimated condition o\
60.8 per cent of normal on September
25 forecasts a yield per acre of about
16S pounds and a total production (allowing
a reduction of 1 per cent from
planted area for abandonment) of
about 10.950,000 bales. Last year's production
was 16,130.000 bales and tht
" 4 AAA 4 IaCp f V? Q n I
iyi3 crop 1 i, IOD,UUU. A icoo |
11,000,000 bales would be smaller than
any crop since 1909.
"The unusual deterioration has beei.
due principally to the extremes of
weather conditions; periods of excessive
rainfall, cold weather and drought
(having characterized the season iiji
most of the cotton belt. Lack of fertilizer,
and poor quality of that used
(has been an unfavorable factor in the
eastern portion of the belt. There is
little promise of a top crop, except in
the northern portions of the belt, due
to the climatic conditions and the unusual
activity of the boll weevil; and
vhere a top crop is setting in the
northern portions of the belt, the lat
est report of the crop there makes realization
dependent upon future favorable
weather and frost.
"The month, much of it warmer and
dry, has been generally favorable to
picking. A much larger percentage of
the crop is ginned to this date than
in the usual year. In .much of the
southern portion of the belt ginning
is far advanced and in some sections
there, picking is practically completed."
