Ainerican Cottopk Association EstI mate of Crop Condition on July 25 wa-s 75.2. Coluinpta, Aug. 1.-Condition re port under average date of July 25, is sued by the American Cotton associa tion, shows that the percentage is 75.2 according to its estimates. The re port also sums up labor conditions, the demand abroad, cost of produc tion and manipulation. The report .in full follows: 'As a result of one of the most care ful and painstaking inves-tigations as to the condition of the cottonl erop and vital facts bearing thereon, this in vestigation being probably one of the most complete and thorough ever made, we beg to report that we find: 'First, As to the condition of the av erage (late of July 25, 1920, 75.2. The crop is from three to four weeks late, extremely sappy and subject to seri ous deterioration as a result of ad verse weather conditions, whieh are universal 'through August. As a result of recent adverse wvea ther conditions, Colton is already shedding badly. On account of the lateness of the crop and the sappy condition of the same it offers on in. viting field to insect damage; an early frost spells the certainty of an enor imous decrease in the indicated yield. Labr is extrilemely llort and in eflcient ; it requires several times the amount of latbQ' tQ halrveSt The o' as it does 1d tuliivaie it. It will be absolltely imsl)sb11)le even 'with ideal l .weather con(itionF, with the great shortage of labor, to harvest a crop larger than the average short crop for 3 the past five years. - Also a result of our investigations t abroad we find that we are face to face with the fact that the world will - stand in pressing need of 1.,000,000 - bales of cotton from America; that we - are facing an enormous Increased de mand for raw cotton. There Is a press ing need of anl enormous amount of off grade cotton. No matter what the carry over or surplus may be, we are facing the absolute certainty of an enormous expansion In the manufac tire of cotton both as a normal de a velopment and on account of the enor mously increased demand for cotton n goodp. worldwide, and the great deartli of same, there being an in creaped dennd ever3where 'in the world for cotton cloth. The growing crop will be the most costly ever produced. As a result of the imporlatioti of Oriental oils, cot ton seed are being solo for about one fifth of the price average for the last two years. This will result in an I . enormous increase in the cost of lint cotton. As a result of the manipulation in V the market regardless of the enor Is mous demand, cotton is being sold to. of day on the exchanges far below the Vd cost of production. Strenuous efforts have been made to Induce the sale of sp)ot cotton for future delivery.
